If I want white wine and pork scratchings I'll have it. It's just food and drink

I don't mind if someone suggests that a certain wine might go better with a particular food. Other than that I'll eat and drink pretty much what I want. I hate it when people say that lamb must be pink and the fat all white and floppy, and steak must be flushed red in the middle. I like my meat cooked so it looks like a hockey puck, and if the chef doesn't like it, then the place I'm eating at is probably a bit pretentious.
