Food, a small incomplete list.

My favourite things to eat :
Cauliflower and broccoli with cheese sauce.
Vegetarian pizza with asparagus, feta and olives and capers and capsicum, mozzarella, cheddar, onion, garlic paste, herbs and a good tomato sauce.
Macaroni with cheese sauce and a crusty baked cheese and breadcrumb topping.
Also with the cheese sause and topping - potato au gratin.
Broccoli and edamame with soy sauce and roasted sesame seeds.
Cheese straws.
French onion soup.
Tomato soup.
Vegetarian minestrone soup.
Pasta with lotsa herby, garlicky tomato sauce and cheddar cheese, mushrooms, olives and capsicum.
Pumpkin soup.
Hot chips.
Potato chips, especially ready salted or nori seaweed flavour.
Soft baked pita bread with cheese melted on it.
Cheesey mashed or chopped potato.
Port salut cheese with very good wholegrain crackers and some grapes.
A poached egg with buttered toast soldiers.
Herb and cheese scrambled eggs.
Spring onion pancake, Chinese style.
Vegetarian steamed buns or fried dumplings.
Custard buns are good too.
Chocolate taiyaki.
Ichigo daifuku.
Any of the Yukimi daifuku icecreams except red bean.
Aloo paratha. Wonderful.
Bombay aloo is also good.
Masala chicken.
Vegetarian samosas, home-made is best.
Mango lassi.
Cardamom semifreddo. I forgot the Hindi name.
Feta (plain or with cumin seeds in it) with bread and garlic olive oil.
Bread with basil pesto, olive tapenade and tomato paste for dipping.
Apple pie with vanilla icecream.
Jelly and icecream.
Jelly and runny cream is also delicious.
Apple shortcake with proper thick custard.
Or just spiced stewed apple with or without custard.
Lemon self-saucing pudding with vanilla icecream.
Cherry pie.
Blueberries.
Apricots.
Bananas.
Passionfruit.
Mangoes freshly picked when ripe.
Mandarins.
Strawberries.
Cherries.
Watermelon.
Good raspberries, esp with cream.
Proper layered trifle.
Passionfruit yoghurt icecream.
Fruit salad icecream.
Strawberry yoghurt icecream.
Hawaiian fruit salad (the one with coconut cream and marshmallows etc).
Ambrosia, a proper one.
Flan.
Pineapple muffins.
Louise cake.
Fruit tart (done properly with chocolate to line the pastry case so it doesn't get soggy from the custard, strawberries and jelly).
Proper gingerbread, loaf or biscuit form, either way with lotsa ginger and def not moist. Dry and low crumb.
Fish fingers.
There are other things but this makes me sleepy. So I had better stop.
Last thing : real fruit icecream.
Strange, I seem to not have chocolate as a favourite. I never noticed until now.
I do like chocolate spiced tea, or moccachinos though. And my own recipe for chocolate spiced muffins or choc chip spice cookies. And I can only tolerate banana cake if it has choc chips in it.
But generally not a big choc lover. Huh.
