Dessert Island Dish
Today being “Desert Island Tuesday” (inspired by BBC’s Desert Island Discs), I’ll imagine myself a castaway on a desert island. This week theme is Food so I’m allowed to bring a few food items with me.
What a beautiful Tuesday to be stranded on a desert island. The sun is shining brightly and there’s a nice cool breeze. Of course the island I’m stranded on is a lush, tropical oasis full of delicious edible fruits and a good supply of diverse marine life. Here’s my list:
Desert Island List – Food Edition
Rice
Coffee
Salt
Pepper
Sugar
You can see from the list above I am quite a simple person, and good at fishing too, as I don’t foresee myself eating only rice with salt and pepper. I’ll have boiled rice with grilled fish one day, fish porridge another, and maybe attempt to make nigiri sushi now and then. Did I mention that fresh drinking water is available from the tap? Yup, there’s a tap conveniently located near my air-conditioned shack.
Oh, wait, I also have a PC with full internet access on the island, so I could, if I choose to, order more things online:
Desert Island List – Food Edition, Fancy Version
Milk
Cheese
Chocolate
White Bread
Butter
Parsley
Ice cubes
Now I can make grilled cheese sandwich, fish in a creamy parsley butter, and iced coffee. Plus I can snack on chocolates after that. Ah… I can get used to this lifestyle…
Still not impressive enough to be called a fancy list? Ok, lemme think…
Desert Island List – Food Edition, Extended Ultra Fancy Pants Version
Diet Coke
French Fries
Decadent chocolate cake with all the works
Pancake with banana, berries and maple syrup
Double chocolate chip cookie
Donuts – plain glazed, choco-peanut and white choc-oreo
Nachos with creamy melted cheese
Crème brûlée
Hmm…I suspect my ultra fancy list is just a compilation of desserts and junk food I’m supposed to avoid. Oh well…
