Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
I have lost my mind. If found, please give it a snack and return it?

... h'm. Those sanctions must be worse than I'd thought, Balu ....
I don't count any of those 'livestock' items (or pets !!) as food. Here in the UK we take some small pride in our dietary aesthetics ... cue some haggis for proof ?
Best food .. I'd have to choose beefsteak, preferably very chunky helpings.
Worst food .. I can't eat olives without wanting to vomit.
Olives are food's answer to Socialism. Slimy, greasy little blighters ... and the EU is a mass exporter ....

Don't overlook the availability of Black Pudding (I often enjoy some generous helpings - Noir would NOT approve .. come to that, neither would any Muslim ..) ...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_pudding
With apologies to Popeye .. Black Pudding is an excellent antidote to misguided spinach eating, because of its naturally high, eminently bio-available, iron content.Black pudding is a type of blood sausage commonly eaten in Britain, Slovenia, Italy, Finland, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Sweden, Estonia, Spain, Portugal and Latvia. It is generally made from pork blood and a relatively high proportion of oatmeal.
In the United Kingdom, black pudding is considered a delicacy in the Black Country and the West Midlands, Stornoway and the North West, especially in Lancashire (in towns such as Bury), where it is traditionally boiled and served with malt vinegar out of paper wrapping. The Stornoway black pudding, made on the Western Isles of Scotland, has been granted Protected Geographical Indicator of Origin status.
Black puddings are also served sliced and fried or grilled as part of a traditional full breakfast in much of the UK and Ireland, a tradition that followed British and Irish emigrants around the world. Black pudding is now part of the local cuisine of the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador
The above quote suggests eating it fried or grilled. Personally, I've found it quite tasty when it's eaten raw. It's very filling - you don't have to eat very much of it to feel you've got a full stomach.
