I’ve tried prawns… been able to barely eat them - just not something I like.
Hard no to lobster.
There’s other meats I don’t like for various reasons.
I generally don’t eat much biryani, but when I do, you’ll be pleased to know I tend not to add much raita or other sauce to it.
I’m more of a Kadhai or Vindaloo type of person - mainly chicken.
I do love Indian - love spicy rich food laced with coriander and I adore just a simple bit of Nan bread to mop it all up with.
Indian food, like so many other foods, just doesn’t like me as much, unfortunately.
I don't think he was talking about the in-laws?
If you'd have asked me in 2020 I'd have said I'd have been living in cascais now cos that was my fave place for various reasons. Lots of football, ability to fly home twice a day, great food, but covid fucked my business so whatever.
But of course TAA is worth paying his bills. He'll go somewhere else otherwise and he's one of the best footballers in the world

He meant the kids. Fucking parasites.
I get why people dislike fish, bones and that fishy taste that makes people heave. Me, I don't get why people like ducks liver so much. I had it once in France, tasted like soft fat.
Cucumber curry is much smoother on the stomach.
Cucumbers are for pickling.
Real Madrid have made Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold a priority target.
The Spanish club are also considering other right-back options, including Tottenham Hotspur’s 25-year-old Spain international Pedro Porro, 23-year-old Jeremie Frimpong of Bayer Leverkusen and the Netherlands, and 21-year-old Spain youth international Juanlu of Sevilla.
Several sources with close knowledge of Madrid’s current recruitment plans (who, like all those cited here, asked to remain anonymous to protect their positions) said these were the players the club have identified to reinforce in the position — with Alexander-Arnold the preferred option, but one that is only feasible if he runs down his contract at Liverpool.
Alexander-Arnold’s existing deal expires in June 2025 and from January he will be free to negotiate a free transfer with other clubs. Talks over a renewal at Anfield are ongoing but when the 26-year-old was asked about his future last week when on England duty he told ITV: “I’ve entered the prime of my career right now and I don’t want to be the player who only won trophies when he was young.”

Madrid are also looking to reinforce at centre-back, and the likelihood of them making a signing in this position in January has grown.
One option being considered is former Manchester City defender Aymeric Laporte, who is under contract with Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr until 2026. Now 30, he is still a regular with Spain and played an important role in their European Championship success in the summer. However, no moves have been made for Laporte yet.
Other players being tracked are Palmeiras’ 18-year-old Brazilian Vitor Reis, who has also attracted interest from Arsenal, and RB Leipzig’s 21-year-old France international Castello Lukeba.
Despite previous doubts, Madrid are now keen to be active in the winter transfer window, given their injury problems. Their last signing in the mid-season window was in January 2019, when Brahim Diaz arrived from Manchester City.
This has been agreed in recent meetings between the board and coach Carlo Ancelotti, who has been calling for additions since last January. Dani Carvajal’s anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and the delays in David Alaba’s recovery from his ACL injury have played a role in changing the outlook.
Carvajal, 32, is expected to be out until next season following the injury he suffered earlier this month. Alaba, also 32, injured his knee last December and his return date has been pushed back several times.
Recent media reports in Spain have suggested that Alaba might consider retiring — something denied by sources close to the player. Other sources around Madrid say progress in his recovery has been slower than expected, which has led to doubts about when he will be ready to come back to first-team training before the end of the year as planned, and at what level he will return.

I just made a pizza with pre-cooked courgettes, mascarpone, preserved lemon and black pepper. Phenomenal.
Same place he got his preserved lemon
Haha I mean I cooked it first to take the water out
I'm coming round to the same view. I suspect I would have anyway, but Bellingham's presence in Real's squad puts the tin hat on it for me.
What annoys me is that it's been going for years. Just letting players go for free. Numerous examples the last 10 years.
Let's face it, if he had wanted to sign, he would have signed it long ago.
He's been all chummy with Bellingham in recent years, the writing is on the card.
His head has been turned long ago, I wouldn't object to him moving on, but for him to be leaving on a free, and to Madrid no less, is a huge slap to our face.

IF that happens it will be disappointing to say the least.
But, hey, we've been there, done that, won the European Cup ...
Yeah but every single one of those players has been either shit, past it or broken. Or guilty on all counts (Keita)
Gini and Can are the only ones you could make a case for but I wasn't really bothered about either. Losing Trent on a free is a completely different story
It’s hard to get pissed about someone leaving on a free when we won everything with Matip and Milner. Who came on a free.
