Food Glorious Food
Hi Janice, thank you for taking part in the Taking Charge
blog tour and for having me on your wonderful website! Now, as Janice has
written a novel about a celebrity chef and because food plays quite an
important role in Taking Charge I am going to be talking about all things
eating!
My lead female Robyn Matthers is slightly obsessed with food
and none of it is healthy. Her idea of food Heaven is opening up a large bag of
kettle chips and devouring the whole lot with a dip to accompany it. She also
has a love of gherkins (pickles), barbecue and ice cream. So now, DRUM ROLL
PLEASE, I am going to reveal to you my top five favourite foods in DESERT
ISLAND FOODS!
5. Roast Dinner
You know what I’m talking about. Nice breast of chicken,
broccoli, carrots, swede (rutabaga LOL), peas, stuffing and a plate overflowing
with thick gravy! Yum!
4. Greek salad
Not just for holidays! Lettuce, tomato, onion, olives and
feta cheese, drizzled in olive oil.
3. Indian
A nice chicken Bombay
on a bed of mushroom rice with a tarka dal and a garlic naan. It may not be
that healthy but it’s LOVELY.
2. Chinese
Now most of you know that I ADORE food from my home village
Chinese takeaway Pearl River . I cannot get
enough of their sweet and sour chicken balls! We try and limit these to once a
month but it would be a must for me to survive on a desert island.
1. Packet mashed potato
Yes! I had to have it as my number one desert island food. I
could not survive without packet mashed potato. It’s quick to make, all you
need is hot water and a fork and there’s a low fat hearty meal. I do really
take a packet with me whenever I go away anywhere!
So there are my five desert island foods! Now we want to
hear what you would take with you to that desert island. What food could you
not live without? Leave a comment!
