What's your Achille's heel T1 & T2?

Crusty baguettes
Beer battered thick onion rings
Christmas time only - mince pies
Salt & vinegar crisps
On holiday only - genuine Victoria Sponge with jam and cream for afternoon tea
 
Posh crisp and.... Bread. Bread fresh from the Baker, still warm with proper butter.
 
Food: Nuts
Lifestyle: Lifting heavier weights than my tendons and ligaments can cope with (no longer 25)
 
Porn, food porn.
Toasted seeded bread left to go cold, thick spread of butter, sliced banana, cinnamon on top.

Be very careful using "proper" and "Cornish Pasty" in the same sentence. Opening a can of worms doesn't come close!

The question is what do you consider to be a proper pasty I have a good friend called Dewdney who might contest your choice or not.

I used the term Cornish pasty generically though for me nothing beats a good Devon pasty like what my Nan used to make her pasties tended to be a little bigger than most people are used to she could just fit one into the oven sideways I was only ever allowed have half of one when young. They where I think the best thing I have ever tasted.

If you splash some soya sauce over sunflower seeds then crisp them up undfeatehrer the grill till the sauce has dried out, they've got a definite Twigletty thing going on. Packed full of vitamins and minerals too.

It's not me that's the problem, I am an Essex boy. I just know the controversy surrounding pasties!
 
Yes I know I lived in Devon most of my life but I also lived in Cornwall for a few years too.

Goes back really a long time Cornish pasties were made to go in a lunch pail or box that would be lowered down the mine shaft to the miners working below., but the Devonshire pasty was made flat so as it could be carried in the hip pocket Never mind the other differences in the way it was cooked and what went in it if any. I enjoy both but obviously as brought up in Devon my preference is for the Devon one
 
Breakfast buffets in Hotels,

If I have not worked my way through at least 95+% of the food on there its not been a good holiday.

Other than that everything is on the menu.
 
Quality Street.

The only thing that slows me down...............the wrappers, they are a pain!
 
Clementines at Christmas.....might have one Christmas Day though hard to stop at one! Also toast and marmalade.......
 
Mine's at the back of my leg at the bottom :p

No, just gluttony and portion control sometimes, I don't have a sweet tooth particularly and can munch the odd sweet thing for swimming on, but those places that advertise "all you can eat in an hour" to me are a challenge :) as I need more than the one injection.
 
Dairy Bell Milkshake, I don’t do that anymore (I only had 2 a year) as the factory is now turning into a massive apartment block
