360 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 What is your idea of food heaven and food hell? For me: Heaven- Rare sirloin steak, accompanied with steak-cut chips, fried mushrooms, a fried egg, half a tomato, and an onion-less salad. English mustard too. Hell- Anything with tuna and onions. Edit to add mustard to the heavenly meal. Link to comment
buchanskii Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Food Heaven - Rare Sirloin steak, fried onions, chips, onion rings and peppercorn sauce. Food Hell - Peas Where does the best steak in the city? Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Heaven. A decent proper burger. With all the sides. Hell: a salad. Link to comment
minijc Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Heaven- My mums macaroni, garden peas and good proper chips Hell- anything seafood related, disgusting gear. Link to comment
Foster14 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 This is a tough one. Mainly on the heaven front, as I am not overly fussy with food. I do like a steak, rare, still bloody. Probably a T-Bone steak. Usual accompaniments, chips (thick cut), mushroom. Would also definitely like broccoli with it. No sauce, mustard. That said, I think my food heaven would need something with a bit of spice to it. Decent curry, preferably lamb, or if making myself, just use a steak. Final alternate would probably be a seafood paella, containing one of swordfish/monkfish, and plenty prawns, mussels, squid etc. On the hell, I don't really like jelly. Or licquorice. So probably licquorice jelly... Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Don't like jelly either. Don't trust the way it moves. It's all about environment. You dinna want a ten course meal from moma after a night out. But a decent kebab or city restaurant cheeseburger supper hits the spot. Similarly on a night out with the lads you dinna head to the nearest raw food restaurant either Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 A good curry - which are plentiful here in Glasgow Damn Straight, exactly why Indian food is my food heaven too. I also love seafood. Food hell would be most vegetarian stuff - I do like veg, but veg is garnish not the main event. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you like curry CS min you need a night out in Manchester. Head to rusholme 's curry mile Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you like curry CS min you need a night out in Manchester. Head to rusholme 's curry mile Never been to Manchester but will be sure to check it out if I ever visit. Glasgow is UK Heavyweight for curry - though this year Bradford overtook us for the number of times its won "Curry Capital of Britain". Their win puts them on 5 titles, we have 4. http://www.fedrest.com/aboutus.htm I suspect Bradford is using underhand tactics (financial bribes, sex etc) to rob Glasgow of her rightful title!

Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 The curry mile will easily match and top anything Glasgow has.If purely cause it's a better city;-) Link to comment
The Oxford Don Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Heaven - curry, in all its manifold, wondrous glories. Hell - anything offal, so kidney, liver etc... bleugh. Apparently whether or not you find that stuff palatable is genetically determined, in which case I have clearly inherited my mum's taste buds as she can't eat that stuff either. Link to comment
newcastlered Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Heaven for me is Japanese food. Food hell dunno really probably pastry. Link to comment
RAZOR Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Heaven - buffalo wings with a bit of a kick accompanied with various types of dips. Hell - veggies, yuck! Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I went through a phase of ordering chicken sweet corn and onion pizzas with xtra cheese after a night out. Good shout for a FH nomination Link to comment
minijc Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Actually mines would have to be a curry, wouldn't go to my hottest would have to have one that all the flavours gushed out of and made it worth while. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 If you have more than three Phal curries you are statistically likely to dies within a few days. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 A big fuck off piece of Aberdeen Angus steak, cooked straight on hot as fuck charcoal, with a light sprinkling of a home made rub (rosemary, thyme, a little brown sugar, black pepper, sea salt, tiny wee bit of cumin.). Medium rare with some Chimuchurri sauce and some crusty freshly baked warm white bread rolls to mop up all the juices. Food hell - My ma's early 90s tagliatelle, fuck knows what was in it but I wasn't fan. It was also the only food other than liquorice I remember disliking in my entire childhood. 1 Link to comment
RUL Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Proper burger would be food heaven...hell meatballs as cooked by my gran. I don't even want to think about what was in this shit. Link to comment
rumpus Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'd have a Chinese meal before an Indian any day. Last time in Glasgow went to the one which was voted best in Britain. It wasn't as good as the one in the round building opposite the Garden Hilton beside SECC. Link to comment
Bluto10 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Aye I struggle to choose between a fine chinky and an Indian. Great on on Byers rd just opposite tinderbox. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'd have a Chinese meal before an Indian any day. Last time in Glasgow went to the one which was voted best in Britain. It wasn't as good as the one in the round building opposite the Garden Hilton beside SECC. I went to that one after a day at the commonwealth games - though the place was a bit grubby, wasn't impressed, but then could have been stowed with games-goers all day. The round building is the North Rotunda, it has a Southern counterpart - they were originally entrances to descend to tunnels under the Clyde. They had a pedestrian tunnel and one for horses and carts, later motor vehicles, which would be lowered down / raised up on lifts. Link to comment
Clydeside_Sheep Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Aye I struggle to choose between a fine chinky and an Indian. Great on on Byers rd just opposite tinderbox. For high end chinese check out: http://www.ho-wong.com/ http://www.chinatownglasgow.com/welcome.html These places are always full of Chinese diners, a good litmus test. Asia Style was a cracking pan-asian joint, (also full of asian diners), and 'down to earth' venue and prices too, but its now changed and I havent been to the new incarnation (bet its not as good).

dervish Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Not far off mine DD. Cauliflower is boak. To be different I'll chuck in Prawn Toast and warm sweet and sour sauce to dip it in as heaven. Link to comment
