Asparagus, capers, spinach (unless there’s a risk it will come from a can), halloumi or paneer. Anything green-tasting or pickled. Anything unusual. Anything self-assembly or likely to come with specialist eating utensils. In my meat-eating days, anything with a scallop or scuttling sea creature. Anything raw and throbbing. ---

Lamb - It’s too expensive to buy in the supermarket (with the exception of lamb neck bones.) Anything with Old Bay sprinkled on it. I’m a sucker for Old Bay. And I’m a sucker for the combined ingredients of feta cheese, walnuts, sauteed onions, and spinach. ---

Anything spicy. Problem is, it never is. ☹ What the rest of the planet considers spicy, I would eat for breakfast. While still on a tracheotomy. Because of my appendectomy. ---

Veggies:Artichokes, Asparagus, or Avocado Meat: Scallops, Ahi Tuna, Crab, Shrimp, or Lobster What ever dish best combines these will get me to order it. Also the higher the carcass count the better. So Artichoke hearts with Crab, shrimp and scallops topped with bacon and avocado would be really quite awesome. ---
