Pink Jelly Bellys - I like all the pink ones, the red ones can surprise you in unpleasant ways. I don't like unpleasant surprises, but who does? I like a good debate, I have an opinion on everything - if you don't want to know - don't ask. If you want to impress me cook me a rare steak, fried red onions, sweetcorn, green beans and potatoes dauphinoise - follow with an imaginative use of icecream.
