Deep dives
Dream Starter: Refreshing Bowl of Light Cheese

Dream Main Course: The Ambrosia Burger from Nepenthe
The dream main course is the Ambrosia Burger from Nepenthe, a famous restaurant in Big Sur. The burger is made with a smashed patty, similar to a Wimpy Burger. It is described as the greatest burger of all time and is served with all the classic fixings.
Dream Dessert: Swizzlers or Soothing Sherbet

Dream Drink: Fizzy Water in Glass Bottles
To drink, the dream menu offers fizzy water in glass bottles. The carbonated bubbles and the visual appeal of the glass bottles make this beverage a refreshing and satisfying choice.
Childhood memories of ice poles and gypsy tart
Noel reminisces about his childhood, recalling the joy of buying 10p ice poles during the summer. He fondly remembers the bright blue ice pole and how the juice at the end was the most delicious part. Noel also reflects on the school dessert, gypsy tart, with its chewy and crunchy topping that he loved. However, he also recounts a funny and slightly gross incident with a dinner lady who tried to force him to eat rice pudding, resulting in him vomiting on her hand.
The delights of liquidized party rings and angel delight
Noel shares his love for sweet treats, mentioning his fondness for party rings from the 80s, specifically wanting them to be liquefied. He also recalls a memory of bunking off school and making his own angel delight at home, associating it with a day of indulgence. Additionally, he mentions watching a scary Bigfoot documentary while enjoying the dessert. However, he later realizes that the footage was not as spooky as he remembered, just a guy in a suit. Overall, Noel's dream meal includes nostalgic childhood favorites like butterscotch angel delight and gypsy tart, as well as a desire for a beverage made from the ends of 10p lemonade ice poles.
