I just ate a scotch egg from the farmer's market. It was amazing. Happy to die now, life cannot get better.

Fruit.... not tried exotic stuff.

pineapple - love it, eat it straight out of a tin sometimes. Had a fresh one once, when my dad was rubbish at trying to cut it up... so we never bothered again
bananas - I eat a lot of these
coconut - fine. We had a few when I was young, it's nice fresh. I use it in cooking dried.
grapes - love them; prefer the green/seedless ones to the black ones
strawberries - English ones are nice, cut in half with sugar sprinkled on.
pomegranates - love them.... used to have 1-2 a year from the mid-70s. Probably not had one for a few years now
oranges - OK, but I don't buy them
tangerines/similar - always bought at Xmas, nice.
rhubarb - I'll eat stewed or in rhubarb crumble, so anyhow really
gooseberries - not keen, they're sharp and I don't like the hairs
apricots, peaches, nectarines, - not really keen, so would give them a miss raw.... but if they were in a cooked dessert I'd eat them
plums - OK raw or cooked
apples - nice in a crumble. Tend to be a bit big raw, get bored half way through one. I don't mind them in curries.
pears - not overly keen, skins often look rank and they're so juicy it gets everywhere
grapefruit - not keen. Had a few in the 70s, sprinkled with sugar
most melons - OK, but I don't buy them as they're a lot to have to eat on your own.
cherries - fine.
mango, papaya - never had
mangosteens, rambutans - never heard of

Did you get his name so you can find them elsewhere if he's gone in future?

I believe Hamish has an amazing Scotch head after his session last night! :rotfl:

I've got a scotch head too, and I was far less classy - three bottles of gallo family rose! The scotch egg has sorted it right out though, I reckon I'll be safe to drive in a few hours...

I would happily pay up to £25 a piece for those tickets...

One of my mates was trying to persuade me to buy a ticket for £1,000 to go to one of the morning sessions at the velodrome the other day. Errr. No thanks.

Ouch.

I would say I'm never drinking again, but lets not kid ourselves.
