when you make a proper nice veggie lasagne, with a really flavoursome bechamel, and with blue cheese scattered on top, and you eat a piece with some of said cheese on, getting the creamy/saucy/tender/rich/chewy/crispy with that intense hit of blue cheese savoriness

when you’re eating chippy chips at the seaside and you get a clump of perfectly salt/vinegar seasoned chips with some crispy texture from the frying

In times of trouble I have always turned to McDonalds for sympathy, that first cheesy, meaty bite of a quarter pounder with cheese is always a balm to the soul.

This except curry sauce instead of vinegar.

you’re on holiday and you’ve been walking round a city looking at museums or whatever all day, its been really hot and you haven’t eaten anything since an early lunch. back to the hotel for a shower and a power nap, then spend a bit too long, but not much too long, looking for a place to eat. you end up in a really nice local place that’s got local charm and a bit of class but not too much class. The first sip of a crisp local white is pretty good but the first mouthful of some kind of salty, fatty starter is the best.

Lamb shewerma that they sold at the restaurant next to the O2 Academy in Oxford. Pretty good anyway, but when you’re halfway between a speed-metal gig and the dick-head clubnight afterwards, just having half an hour to feel human, then going and having a tasty wrap was pretty much heaven.

Think that restaurant’s closed now, though.

Made this the other night for the first time in a while, so may be just a recent nice example, rather than ever, but still up there.

Foil baked salmon, stir fried veg, brown rice and a soy and ginger sauce, the last mouthful was a nice chunk of salmon with little bits of everything else I had saved up, all drenched in the sauce and it was fucking divine.

Definitely

Pretty sure there is no finer combo than this
