    Peace Tea is a brand of tea that tastes AMAZING. I don't particularly like tea, but I'll drink that till the sun burns out.

    Takis are rolled tortilla chips doused in spicy powder. There are different flavours, but I only eat the Fuego kind.

    :p You may be a functioning caffeine addict too!

    Just kidding, I joke about it, but I sometimes do think, wow, most of the world is comprised of caffeine addicts. So many people develop a dependence on getting that caffeine fix every day. I'm a total zombie without at least one coffee a day, excluding the brain eating part of course. Definitely not an appetizing sounding staple diet (Raw brains, yummeh)

    I'm an ova-lacto vegetarian. I eat small amounts of cheese and eggs, but mostly I stick with fresh veggies and grains. I've never really liked the taste or texture of meat or fish.

    I'm a chronic insomniac and rarely get more than 3 hours sleep per night, despite being in bed for around 10 hours. It's not uncommon for me to not sleep, full stop. So yeah, headache pills/painkillers and lots of caffeine. I actually love the taste of (good) coffee anyway.

    The best readily available coffee I know of is Kenco's Costa Rican pure blend. You can buy it in Tescos for around £5-£6 usually, and it's so much better (In my opinion) than the Colombian stuff, which is still very good too, I just prefer Costa Rican coffee.

    Never tried that Kenco stuff. If I'm in a rush I'll just drink any old instant coffee but if I have time I tend to make americanos with Illy Medium Roast - kind of expensive but the taste is worth it. Although it's pretty understated so I don't know whether it'd be as good with sugar.

    You know. I've always been meaning to give that a try. I might have to since, I'll admit, I do like to stick to what I know with instant coffee.

    Both are - I think. If you are wanting to know about filtered coffee then ... boy. Anything Italian is the absolute bomb. I do like my coffee.

    Nutella? Ok, no, not really.

    I eat a lot of fruit, but not nearly as much as I wish.

    Brotchen. Bread in general, actually.

    Potatoes.

    Aye, the Douwe Egbert's is an instant.
    A further tip for all coffee lovers: next time you're on the high street and fancy a drink, rather than spend 3 or 4 quid in Starbucks/ some independent/whatever, pop into a Wetherspoons..their coffee (I assume it's the same nationwide) is superb and only 1.49:eek:

    Wetherspoons is amazing. A good pint of craft beer for £1.70? Yes please.

    No problem, Cacian.

    And, have you tried their large English breakfasts?! Oh my.
    I dread to think what the staff are paid...
