What is the best thing you have ever tasted? For me, it's local Scottish tablet (the homemade stuff). mmmmmmm. This stuff is to die for. Just looking at it means a trip to the dentist!

Probably soy ice cream, sadly in a flavour that they don't seem to make anymore, chocolate cookies. After several years ice-cream-less, it appeared to be from heaven. Tasting soy bacon for the first time after several years of missing bacon sandwiches was similar.

My mother's homemade honey glazed Christmas ham off the bone is always a favourite...

Footy sent me some shop Tablet and it was lovely, and he said that homemade is much better - so it must be very good indeed.

I'm a real carnivore I'm afraid, although I don't eat much meat because I'm fussy about where it comes from, how it was farmed, and how and where it was killed. When I can get wild caught meat from my shooting friends I'm happiest, and the best thing I have had is roast haunch of fallow deer, shot a few miles up the road as part of a deer control programme (the little buggers are destroying a piece of woodland, and soon there won't be enough habitat left for them or anything else) - I cooked it slowly with a piece of wild boar fat on it (venison tends to be very lean and if you're cooking it slowly you have to be careful not to dry it out), and served it with cabbage, broccoli, potato and celeriac mash and roast potatos and a very good gravy. That was incredibly good, Mr Yudster and the kids thought so too.

The Scottish shop tablet is lovely, yuds. As kids tho', we always used to love to go out at Halloween because of the number of people who would make the home made stuff.

Jaffa Cakes dunked in Tea, so the biscuit dissolves with the chocolate leaving the orangey jelly on you tongue.

I've seen it, but not tried it. I'd give it a go though.

Red Stripe is the lager of choice. Jamaican beer (but brewed in Bedford.)

As for food, well a nice steak (rare), mum's home made meat loaf, any roast (especially lamb; in fact anything lamb is fantastic, particularly lamb shanks). Treacle sponge, sticky toffee pudding, a variety of crumbles, apple pie from Prego in Newport Pagnell... I could go on.

Sticky toffee pudding with custard. A Tofurky roast with a balsamic glazed onion gravy. A good pint of Guinness. A nice hot cup of Earl Grey tea. Mash with Scottish cheddar cheese. Champagne truffles from Fortnum & Mason. Ooh and their rose and violet chocolates, too. The aforementioned tablet is brilliant. As is whisky fudge. I'll stop there because I'm getting hungry...

Nah, try Peroni instead, much nicer, I used to drink Staropramen until I had Peroni, or Erdinger is good as well.....Comes in a cool glasss that makes it look a little like your holding the world cup!

I love carrots, onions and parsnips all roasted together with knife crushed garlic accompanied by lamb stuffed with rosemary and roast spuds, homemade yorkshire pudding and mint gravy.

They have to be American style pancakes though. Without the whipped cream, I don't like whipped cream, I only like fresh pouring cream.

The veg is gorgeous, i put tin foil over the top for half an hour first so it has a steamed effect and all the aroma stays in from the garlic, then i take the foil off for 15 minutes so it has a roasted finish.

I like Peroni too, though that is one lager which is much better in a bottle than on tap. Haven't tried Erdinger but will definitely try it soon. I tried Tyskie the other day too, which was nice, but not y favourite!

Brandy coffee is the business, topped with whipped cream. Gorgeous, accompanied by loads of comfort food like creamy mashed potato and gravy. Sea bass or grilled sardines are absolutely lovely also.
