What Is the best tasting B&W film?

 

[tomasis]

are spices allowed?

You have obviously been sampling them all and licked off way too much emulsion! 😛

Doesn't Efke 50 come with mint-flavoured gum on the strip at the end of the roll?

Now I get it:

Neopan tastes a little like Suchi.

HP5+ tastes like beef vindaloo.

Tri-X is a little similar to a big mac.

Lucky tastes like spicy pork.

Agfa tastes like bratwurst.

And Efke has a similar flavour to potato vodka! 😛

Ilford?!?! English "cuisine"? Is there such a thing? Bland....

But there's no accounting for "taste" (Get it? "Taste"? Sometimes I even impress myself with my own cleverness...)

Damn, wish I'da thunka that bad pun...

 

[Keith]

Hmm ... Ilford is kind of bland. Maybe boiled cabbage or pea and ham soup! 😱

Ilford HP5 Plus.

And washed down only with HC-110: the great taste that never slows you down. 😉

When you develop Tri-X in rodinal, the developer has a wonderful grape-y flavour and colour when you pour it out.

Exposed, unexposed...developed, undeveloped...wet, dry...cut, uncut...rodinal, HC-110, D-76...

If I take a picture of food will it taste the same on film???

Too bad they don't have a red dot on the box, otherwise he'd been spared.

And you can serve it with Rodinal, Diafine, XTol, D-76, Acufine...you name it, is all well-paired with a gallon of Evian.

I mean, tap-water. I wouldn't want to be accused of being an elitist.

I voted HP5+, but really anything that's grain-fed.

Tri-X is the living legendary film, as Leica is for cameras, with some price difference in between. None of them must be the best, de facto, but they are the legendary ones.

Oh, no, now you've done it. 😱 HP5+ has got to be the Nikon of film now. Let the bashing begin (no por ti, Ruben, no os preocupeis)...
