Hypothetically of course, bit like Desert Island Disk, but with Food.
Me, I think i would keep King Prawns, absolutely adore them, which is strange because I cant stand Shell Fish type foods (yea, I know there not shell fish, but you know what I mean), I just think Prawns are so versatile, eat them on there own, with garlic, Curries, Fruit etc.
Things I would miss most would have to be my Bacon and Sausages.
What would you keep and miss?
-
I would not miss fish and green vegetables.
I would miss meat. And Beanz.

:y :y

Keep: Anything with tons of garlic, tomatoes and pasta etc. And actually keep almost everything except the below
Dump: Anything with chicken livers. YUK ! I just hate the texture
-
Quicker and easier to say what I could live without, but I can see this thread growing legs!
Ok, food of the devil? Chicken, Pork, Celery, Apricots, Peaches - that's it, really.

Keep: Marmite
Dump: Mashed Potato
-
Mix Marmite in with your mashed potato, add something like sweetcorn, peppers, butter and cream?

Won't that look like you scraped the bottom of the wheelie bin onto your plate :o

Or worse.....

Beef, in any form. I love Beef. Also very partial to bacon, cheese and fresh cream. Not all together though. ;D
Don't like Chicken (smells like poo), fish*, eggs (chickens miscarriage and smells even more like poo) liver, kidney,any other internal organs, Pate, coconut, marmite semolina, Tapioca and quite a long list of other things which I cant remember just at the moment.
* I like shellfish, but since my anaphylactic episode in 2010, my tongue comes up in lumps when I eat shellfish. I still eat them though. Its only 10 miles to the hospital. :D
-
One I would get rid of is Branston pickle.
It tastes like dog puke rolled up in a dog turd.
-
It is indeed a very poor quality pickle. Its pickle for people who don't appreciate a good quality pickle, and judging by its popularity, that's most of the population. ::)
-
Grilled salmon. I could eat that till the cows came home.

Actually, yes. But I like mine pan seared in butter with Hollandaise. The healthy option !

Our go-to meal when we're feeling "lazy" at home, now. Grilled salmon, asparagus and (dry) roasted peppers, onions, courgettes.
Hungry now..
-
The question was which favourite foods would you give up, not least favourite...
I am practically allergic to mashed potato, semolina, rice pudding, jam rolypoly, spotted dick and custard. Giving them up would be easy because I never eat them ::)
I am not sure that I could chose between salmon, chicken, duck or beef :-\
-
I thought the question was, what would you keep if all others were denied to you.
I confess to being guilty if diverting my answer to those that I hate, but only because I like SO many foods!
To answer properly, I would hate never to have that truly traditional English delicasy, fish and chips - especially at the seaside! YUM. ;D ;D ;D

Fish and chips is something I look forward to on my rare returns to Blighty. However I usually find it a let down
Couldn't do without cheese if I had to give up all favourite foods. Funny thing is haven't had any for weeks now in a vain effort to get cholestrol below critical levels. ???
-
The let-down with the food from most chippies here will be the chips - they have gone all "healthy" and cook them to be dry on the outside and fluffy inside. Some people like them that way; I don't.
If when you are back here you go anywhere near Looe, in Cornwall, go to Emile's in The Barbican, at St. Martin's, just outside Looe. Lizzie might know where I mean.
What's so special? Apart from the generous portions, they are fried in animal fat, I believe, and are not in the least dry - limp, greasy and deffo unhealthy: but oh, the taste!!!!
Heaven doesn't get any better.
Regarding your cholesterol - are you on any form of Statins? I am, for exactly that reason.
Ron.
-
I'd keep . . . .
Wine !
Red, and fairly expensive ::)
Sod the food to go with it . . .
-
I'd keep crispy aromatic duck with pancakes and hoi sin sauce. :-*
Would miss a good steak off the barbecue, mind. :(
-
keep everything apart from pease pudding , WTF is that all about ?
-
My favourite food is whatever I fancy eating at the time,although I do really like my Sunday dinner[lunch to you posh types].Food I wouldn't have is anything with garlic in it-it makes me ill-and any curry.
-
I would be quite happy to live on nasi goreng for the rest of my life
-
Only food I've ever eaten that I don't like is porridge. I got out of my way to try new dishes whenever possible, here and abroad. Only one essential ingredient to keep and that is chilli as I do like my spicy food. :y :y :y
It does make life easy when anybody asks me what I want to eat, as I always reply absolutely anything except porridge. :y :y :y
-
The Question was, what would you keep if you only had a choice of keeping one.
clue is in the tittle, - So, If you had to Give Up your all Favorite Food.... But keep One.
The second part of the question is (in a round about way) - what would you miss.
Most got it right. :y

Especially in Brakkers. We have cornered the market on really shit chip shops. I love chip shops, so every once in a while, I nip to chippy, only to be reminded of why I don't bother. How can we have the worse 3 chip shops in the world? :(
-
Ok given this some more thought[I've got a headache now! :D] very difficult decisions,however:
Keep Toad in the hole with gravy.
Miss most Sunday roast.
