Cheese has to be top, right?

[Turkish]

Chips, proper chips not these fries nonsense. Thick cut, triple cooked loads of salt and vinegar. Or chip shop chips from a decent chippy

Steak. Good quality, well cooked, rested, dollop of mustard. Bliss.

No cut I don't like, although sirloin is overpriced, and always bettered by many "inferior" cuts like flat iron, bavette, onglet, etc.

Now you're talking. Good chips are immense.

When I was in Calabria a few weeks ago I became addicted to the red onions. They are absolutely delicious, they’re sweet and I found myself ordering an onion and tomato salad as a side with every meal. I’m not a hue fan of onions at home but there they were fantastic.

Quite partial to an unsalted cashew nut.
 

if I was on death row though my last meal would probably be roast lamb

I cannot fathom why anyone uses lard over beef dripping. Mental

I don't, and I think they're few and far between anywhere these days.

According to this website you'll need to travel to Bournemouth (Harry Ramsden's) or the IoW for traditional beef dripping.

Plenty of them 'ooop North.
