Week two of The Friday Five – This week the topic is food & drink.
What is it?
Simply answer the five questions below, either copy and answer on your blog linking back to here (leave the link in the comments) or just answer in the comments.
Usual disclaimer – all questions are random rubbish.
- If it was not fattening or bad for you, what would you eat all the time?
- Wine or beer?
- What is your favourite restaurant?
- What is the most daring thing you have ever eaten?
- If you could invite any 3 people to join you for a dinner party (historical or present – basically anyone that ever existed!) who would you chose to join you?
You are welcome to offer a subject for the next exciting list in the comments!
1-cheese…actually I eat cheese all the time, is it really that bad?
2-vin….it is good for your health…the finer the better
3-Lao Siam a fantastic Thaï restaurant located on the hills of Belleville – Paris.
4-Corned beef
5-Sting (I would ask him to take his guitar and sing to me all night-do we have to pick 3 people?)Oscar Wild and Simone de Beauvoir…if Oscar could not make it I would ask DP as a replacement, I am sure he would get on well with Simone…
1 Chocolate Oranges HHHmmmm Yummy
2 Has to be wine
3 It’s a local Indian Restaurant near me called Rozis
4 I tried snake some years back and funnily enough it tasted quite nice.
5 Richard Wright (to tell him how great he was), Allison Goldfrapp (to complement her on her wonderful vocal talents), Jimi Hendrix (for the after party music and then maybe all three could jam together)
1. Chinese Take Away
2. Beer – Real Ale (if outside UK you are missing on something really great!)
3. Damn, have to agree with SylvieD that is one great place if you visit Paris it is a must, not formal and great value Thai.
4. Beaver pate
5. Che Guevara – Ricky Gervais – Tony Blair
1. Without a doubt … CHEESE!
2. Wine, especially when paired with (1)
3. There are far too many amazing restaurants in Vancouver, but I still love brunch at Provence Marinaside
4. Horse, although at the time I didn’t realize what I was eating …
5. My mum, my sister and my dad – what I wouldn’t give to have just one more family dinner
Happy Friday!
1. Another Cheese addict here
2. Wine of couse
3. El Rincon de Goya Madrid
4. Some dried fishy things (complete wih eyes)in Athens having mezzes
5. Oh Sylvie you have stolen 2 of my guests (Sting & Oscar) and Kevin has nicked Ricky…
so I will choose Mae West, Gabriel Rossetti and of course Donny lol
1. Battenburg cake – om nom nom nom
2. Du vin, bien sur!
3. Boaters on Cleethorpes front. An oasis of style, charm and lovely food in a sea of tacky tourist trash
4. Probably some of my own cooking, as I am so rubbish it’s generally quite inedible
5. Peter Kay (for the conversation and to ‘put t’big light on’), Damien Rice for the music, Robin Hood (to see if he was actually real, if he really did have an american accent and if he really could walk all the way from Calais to Nottingham in just a couple of hours.)
1. Pizza. And glazed doughnuts.
2. Wine
3. A locally owned place that cooks their steaks perfectly…steams their asparagus to just the right crispness…and seasons everything just right.
4. Alligator
5. Jesus Christ, but not for the usual reasons one might invite him. And, maybe the two presidential candidates?
There certainly seems to be a lot cheese lovers, saying that though, cheese is my second choice
I don’t see cheese as a bad thing, my second would be Curry! Basically all take-away food that is bad for you..
1. EVERYTHING I don’t eat now: Fried food (French fries, Chicken, Onion Rings), bacon, cake, pie, real ice cream, cream cheese
2. Beer
3. PF Chang’s
4. Pig’s feet, Beef tongue, Calf’s brains
5. Michael Jordan (for my wife), Socrates (if he spoke English) and Buddha
Arrr, tis’ talk like a pirate day so ob’iously my answer for #2 is rum. I’ll be postin’ the rest at the blog… Ye’ll ne’er get me buried booty!

@KevinD: Beaver Paté!!!! – I’m not letting you get away with that one – tee hee [I wish I'd thought of it]
It’s talk like a pilot day!!!?!
Ten four and chocks away, let’s hope we don’t have a prang and ditch the old crate …… whoops sorry Fraccy, I’ve just put on my glasses ….. anyway back to the point
1. Bacon and eggs
2. Wine I suppose but spirits should have been included
3. The café at B&Q at Tunbridge Wells – they do a marvellous bacon sarny
4. Toast and marmalade without butter
5. Stephen Fry [gay] Oscar Wilde [gay and dead] and Uma Thurman
1. Fracas, if they made little animal crackers of her in different poses.
2. Wine, preferably a sweet Kosher blackberry one? (Real men drink stuff that they can squish between their toes and get a buzz off)
3. A local truck stop in the rural Adirondacks my father and I would stop for lunch when he hauled farm implement equipment across New England?
4. Chocolate pudding. Not really ‘what’ was the daring part, but the ‘how’.
5. A blogger I’m attracted to but haven’t the nerve to admit it, Cain to discuss his feelings of killing his brother, and my deceased mother…not for closure or things of fantasy…but if I could have time with anyone in the past…she’d be on the top of the list.
Is fracas allowed to announce Booty Calls to her blog posts like that in comments?
John, if you weren’t so busy squishing grapes in your toes or eating chocolate pudding in unusual ways, you’d have noticed that Kevin allowed everyone to announce Booty Calls to their blogs. Seems I was the only one paying attention.
either copy and answer on your blog linking back to here (leave the link in the comments) or just answer in the comments.
Sheesh. There’s something scary about me being the only one paying attention. Suppose it was information about saving the world or something? Unless there was a bra or shoes involved… we might all perish.
OY. I just noticed that the tag allowed for use here is still the i tag and not the em tag. Other places, the em tag is the one we’re supposed to use now. I sure wish those “valid xhtml” and such type people would get their act together so we could all just be able to use the same tags everywhere.
@JohnC: Fracas can do anything she wants ……. it’s safer that way – trust me ……
Daddy Papersurfer – Suddenly, I’ve realized how absolutely intelligent you are. In fact, your last comment was bordering on genious!
5. A blogger I’m attracted to but haven’t the nerve to admit it, Cain to discuss his feelings of killing his brother, and my deceased mother…not for closure or things of fantasy…but if I could have time with anyone in the past…she’d be on the top of the list.
John – The chin is married to Kevin you know. You’d best keep that one quiet. I won’t tell.
Cain… lol. While I haven’t killed anyone lately…
Your mother. Well, that’s just sweet. If I have someone who’d want to have dinner with me after I’m dead, I’ll rest in peace.
[...] starting to enjoy the Friday Fives at FuelMyBlog, here’s the latest with my [...]
It was a philosophical statement, Fracas!
And I am NOT attracted to Sylvie, and you shouldn’t call her ‘that’ anymore!
Cain wasn’t my first choice…I opted for Hitler originally, then realized he’d just blameshift continuously throughout dinner.
And if a person could have dinner with someone deceased (ie, from the past) then what’s the problem with choosing someone you looked up to for years?
And I have a penis and you have a vagina, so deal with it you…you henpecked pecker wrecker watcher, YOU!
@Fracas: …Kevin never said anything about Booty Calls. I just searched the archives. If he did I’d have been the first with my hand up!
Booty…BOOOOOTEEEEEEEEE!
1.Chocolate
2.Wine,wine,wine from Dão!
3.Fish restaurants on portuguese coast
4.Just snails…some people find it daring…oysters was daring,I hated it!
5.Klimt,for painting my portrait,Mandela,for interesting talk on human rights…and Robbie Williams,eheheh, just for fun!
Thanks for my daily rofl John. You’re one of my favorite people for a darn good reason.
“And I am NOT attracted to Sylvie, and you shouldn’t call her ‘that’ anymore!”
Shh. I only called her that ’cause you do. And don’t you know what the definition of ‘fracas’ is? I have to say stuff to cause trouble. It’s my sworn duty.
“Cain wasn’t my first choice…I opted for Hitler originally, then realized he’d just blameshift continuously throughout dinner.”
lol
“And if a person could have dinner with someone deceased (ie, from the past) then what’s the problem with choosing someone you looked up to for years?”
Dear, dear. There’s no problem. I said it was sweet… and wished for the same when I die. Again though… how sweet. Sweet, sweet, sweet John.
“And I have a penis and you have a vagina, so deal with it you…you henpecked pecker wrecker watcher, YOU!”
Are you sure? You do know on the internet, people can be something other than what they say they are. Rofl.
“@Fracas: …Kevin never said anything about Booty Calls. I just searched the archives. If he did I’d have been the first with my hand up!
Booty…BOOOOOTEEEEEEEEE!”
Excuuuuuse me. I thought you meant linking to our blogs. Had I known you mean reeeaaal booty, I’d have answered differently.
To make ammends for my grievous error, I’ll still talk like a pirate over at the blog. Aye don’t mind. You may still choose a costume for me too. There seems to be no real consensus there about it.
The Scratch and Sniff Font Laboratory has no subjects known as ‘Fracas’.
And thank the gods for that… I am of Ukranian decent you know. Any scratch and sniff font called ‘fracas’ would likely smell like a combination of perogies and fried onions, sauerkraut and whiskey.
Seriously. I think there’s a law somewhere that prevents anyone from coming up with a scratch and sniff ‘fracas’ font.
I’m not taking the bait. If I developed one it would only inflate your already superior…what do they call it in Ukranian?
Too late. I’ve gone and done it already, but now my blog stinks… literally.
Hits are down and I’m all a flutter. I may have to turn it all back to how it was before and just settle for being non-famous.
And how to you know my superior is inflated? I hadn’t told anyone that yet.
I used superior as an adjective. You replied using it as a proper noun.
(Your blog doesn’t stink, I thought you’ve done a really good job, lady.)
If David Blane hung upside for five minutes and nobody was there to witness it, would he try to claim it was sixty days? Cause that’s all I ever see on television! FIVE MINUTES!
