The "Food" Questions
- You're stranded on a desert island, there's only one junk food takeaway
shop on it (not really deserted then is it...?), what do want it to sell?
Skaife: KFC
Benno: Fish'n'Chips for sure
- When you were little, what did you hate eating the most and how did you
try and get away with not eating it?
Skaife: Peas and beans. Two stories: 1) I used to hide them behind the
buffee in the dining table until the dog came in once and found them and I
got found out. 2) I used to put them all in my mouth and then pretend
I had to blow my nose and spat it all into the tissue and threw it out.
Benno: I hated tuna as a kid. This one time I decided there was no way
I was going to eat this tuna dish that my Mum cooked up, so I drowned it in
tomato sauce in protest. My Mum then made me eat it. It tasted
so horrible it made me cry, lol. So then Mum made made me another
plate and it was actually ok.
- Driving and eating is a favourite past time, what do you most prefer to
eat while behind the wheel?
Skaife: KFC chips
Benno: Quarter Pounder
- What can you not go without (if you can help it) when you're at the
movies?
Skaife: Popcorn and chocolate
Benno: It used to be cool fruits but they fucked up the recipe. Then
it was burger rings, but I got over that. Now its popcorn and
lemonade.
- Do you like Brussell Sprouts?
Skaife: NO!
Benno: Yeah I dig 'em, they're tops.
- We all get hangovers now and then, what do you eat to fix it up?
Skaife: Coke and hot chips, has to be something fatty.
Benno: Burger Rings and Vanilla Coke always does the trick.
- What was your first bonafide attempt at cooking and how did it turn out?
Skaife: A friend and I were cooking up a meat and three veg meal and
we wanted
to do cheese sauce. It ended up like damper.
Benno: My first attempt was cooking chicken schnitzels
that were
frozen. I had a baby sitter over at the time and she was cute, so I
wanted to show her how clever I was. She was in the loungeroom so I
said "I'll go cook my own dinner now". Followed all Mum and
Dad's instructions and when the oil was finally heated up enough I chucked
in the chicken. It made a huge racket - which I now know is normal
when you're frying something - so I thought I'd fucked it up and whipped it
straight back off the pan. I didn't want to look silly though, so I
ate it anyway. Mmmmm, semi frozen schnitzel.
- Food contradictions, what are yours?
Skaife: Love banana flavoured everything, can't stand bananas! Love
tomato sauce, won't eat tomato flavoured anything.
Benno: I'm a big fan of seafood but can't stand prawns, go figure.
Can't do oysters, can do muscles.
