What Is the Best Tasting B&W Film?

[Tom A]

English Cuisine is the greatest ! We gave the world the following delights :
Chicken Tikka Masala
SMASH
Angel Delight
SPAM
Marmite
Bovril
Fish N Chips
Jellied Eels
Not to be confused with Scottish Cuisine which gave us

Haggis Neeps and Tatties
Deep Fried Mars Bars

Dont forget delicasies like "Bangers and Mash and Spotted Dick as well as Steak and Kidney Pie's". To think that this was once an Empire - though the reason probably was that citiziens were more than willing to leave with the promise of edible food!

Don't forget:

bubble and squeak
blancmange
jam roly-poly
creme brulee (the version known today was first made in Trinity College, Cambridge)

Chicken tikka masala, the de facto English national dish, was first devised in Britain, not India. For that matter, many dishes popularly known now as curries were in large part British expressions of Indian cooking, a side-effect of the Raj.

Never mind Spam: canned snoek is legendary!

Fomapan should be like good Czech beer 😛

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

Oi oi!
Don't forget Sheppards pie and jellyed eel!
Or maybe bangers and mash, mmmm.
Around here we have lamb stews and lamb shanks with mint sauce galore 🙂

Oy vey, I once tasted some Arista.Edu 400 and thought I was back in my grade school cafeteria, not good.

I once had the unique opportunity to sample a roll of '64 Panatomic-X. I believe it was an original Rochester clonal selection. It had an unusual nutty taste, with a hint of ripe cherries and black pepper. Very viscous, and remained on the palate seemingly forever. Unfortunately, it was only a 24 shot roll and given that there were about 7 of us in the darkroom, I was barely able to ingest 3 frames. It was the emulsion of the Gods.

Today, I usually imbibe the usual Tri-X and Delta 100's. Nothing too exotic. 😀

Pan F+ @ 25 for me thanks. Takes a little time to stew, but once it's done, you'll love it. A little too rich to have everyday tho. Tri-x is my normal fare.

 

[.JL.]

they all taste similar to me (like XTOL)... but if I were to eat any, the Fuji Neopan 1600 would be my choice because it's much easier to chew.

The seal strip on Kodacolor in 620 was vanilla flavoured. I'm not sure whether to be more surprised by that, or that there's a thread on the internet where people might appreciate that information...
