A question someone I work with is always asking...If you were to be stranded on a desert island what would be the one meal you would choose to take ....( remember you would have this meal every day!!!)

forgot to give example..one guy we work with chose the cheese board and a good bottle of port.Says he would never get fed up with that

Hmmm... I suspect he would!! now Spag Bog well... ;o)

Lots of fruit and a good coffee would keep me happy. Patsy

As I'm busy cooking sausage onions, mash, swede, sprouts etc for dinner (and the smell is w o n d e r f u l) I'm tempted to go for that - however, french bread, fresh tomatoes, salad, real french dressing and a robust bottle of red would, I think, be just about palatable - always assuming of course that the sun shown, the sea was blue (no sharks) and I had a CD player with lots of fav.music and (oh, I forgot) hubby was there with me - then bliss, pure bliss. Am I allowed to dream? Jacqui

Patsy- Sorry to lower the tone your fruit and coffee would also keep you regular ..not a bad thing marooned on an Island!!! :o) ....

Roast beef and all the trimmings with a glass of chocolate milkshake

Ian - Choccy milk shake everyday eh,...cummon!! have you REALLY thought about this? :o)

most of us had at least a good bottle of wine.No-one had milk shakes!!!

Oh er... can I add Garlic Bread...it was "mentioned" in the members book...so Spag Bog/Garlic Bread and the wine please.....for now!!

:-( I drink milk shake - nanna or choc - yummy

I'd love to take a king prawn vindaloo, nan bread, bombay aloo, special fried rice, and a nice bottle of white wine. (or a nice roast beef dinner) Liz

She Wray - You are terrible - so let's make it clear - you would have Spag Bog and MILKSHAKES!!! hhhmmmm EVERY DAY???? hhmmmmmm you know you would have to cook yourself?..no other "Spag Bog fanciers" would be there...to help ;o)

Elizabeth - Please see my earlier reply to the honourable member "patsy" ....are you sure??????

Just ate the sausage and mash meal and can recommend it for a cold evening in Nottingham - but not for a desert island! The thought occurred to me that in order to get a daily milk-shake one would need a cow to share the island with (to get the milk!) Now, if it were a very small island what would one do with the (eh, pardon the expression) excrement from the cow? Don't fancy being marooned on a desert island with an animal whose excrement is, to say the least, large and pongy!! One last thought though, I suppose the Roast Beef dinner could be accommodated once one had had enough of the milk-shakes! Jacqui

Jaqui If stayed very hot in day could be very cold at nite.Some one once told me they had used dried cow pats to keep the camp fire going. So I suppose one answer. I had started to wonder about how you would get fresh milk each day with out cow goat or sheep !!!

Are you suggesting madam that men are full of ...IT :o) I dunno what else you could mean!!

Wendy - you may well be right (with the exception of an absolute gentleman on this thread whose name begins with A and who shall be nameless) OK Andrew? Jacqui

Yeah ..the odd good one..not many of us ;o) ...now to the serious business..what would you take to eat? - I think taking animals is out really...can we pretend to have one of those things they have in Star Trek....BUT it is stuck on one food type...no Scotty to fix it :o)

No, No Wendy- I, a poor humble male that I am ..except without question females are the better of the species....BUT we have had ladies with Fruit/Coffee - Curry - and Milkshakes!! is this good.. this is January..after Christmas..I really thought I would get some practical tips on good healthy eating in a clean open air environment... :o( must say the girls have let me down here.... oh with the exception of Jacqui..hehe...who has not said what she would take..but that's "cool" :o)
