What's for dinner?

how would you overstate it?

Tesco Dark Rum, Zero Coke - and lots and lots of ice.

To say it's delicious is an undergarment!

Overstating it would be comparing it to fish and chips.  Yes that did take me forty five minutes to work the reply out.  Might have same tomorrow, fiah and chips for lunch.

Corned beef hash, homemade crispy onion rings and baked beans...... strawberry & cream for afters

To say it's delicious is an understatement

Five Black Pepper Sausages and Chips done in the Oven, tin of Marrowfat peas and Bisto Gravy plus some Brown Sauce. All accompanied with lashings of hot milky Tea (no sugar).

Corned beef hash (popular innit), spinach, followed by rhubarb crumble. fresh-picked rhubarb can't be under estimated.

Home made pizza with a delicious side dish of sliced beans, asparagus,tomatoes,onions and garlic simmered in white wine and lemon juice. Well seasoned. Third day on the trot I have eaten it since seeing the recipe.

Two spuds, four honey-and-mustard pork sausages and 2 carrots, all bought from Taunton Farmers Market this morning and all baked in the oven. Chopped up radish and dandelion leaves from the garden for greens.

Sausage dripping and carrot tops for the dog.

Roast pork, roast turkey, roast parsnips, roast potatoes, peas, leeks, carrots, cauliflower cheese, dauphinouse potatoes, new potatoes, yorkshire pudding, cranberry sauce, gravy.  All beautifully cooked.

Having a high quality carvery within 10 minutes walk that is doing a two for £11.98 can't be underestimated.

I've just had some steamed seafood dumplings, might have some chicken and chips later.

Three baked spuds, loads of frozen peas and sweetcorn all covered in gravy

Had this for breakfast this morning too.

was it the same 3 spuds though

Well how could it be?

I had this last week & it was quite nice. I'm going for a repeat tonight.
PASTA WITH CHICKEN & ROASTED RED PEPPER PESTO SAUCE
http://recipes.sacla.co.uk/pasta-with-chicken-roasted-red-pepper-pesto-sauce

I have this one every week. It is lovely!

Chargrilled Chicken Pasta
http://www.schwartz.co.uk/products/recipe-mixes/traditional/pasta/chargrilled-chicken-pasta.aspx

Massive china bowlful (very important to eat it from the correct vessel) of lettuce, cucumber, roasted skinless chicken breast/s and English tomatoes - all chopped finely, with salt, vinegar and two tablespoons of Tesco Light Mayonnaise added and salad then tossed to get a bit of everything on each forkful.

Just beautiful, healthy scran - and tastes so good.

Probably my favourite meal at the moment.

Needs a glass of sparkling white wine to wash it down Tommy.

Fresh radishes followed by lambs' liver and plain boiled potatoes for me.
Rhubarb and custard for later.

Yes, sparkling white wine goes with it a treat, Foinavon - but I prefer to eat and drink singularly.
It's either eating or drinking for me - but that's because I'm like that!

Can't argue with that Tommy. Just having a cup of weak tea, no milk or sugar to finish off.

Dry bread and a glass of water.....losing days must contain punishment.

where are you dining Wormwood Scrubs?

Nope at home...every time I have a losing day that is all I allow myself.(I am still a fat b*stard)

Main: Baked potato, grated cheese, grated carrot, some lentils with porcini mushrooms, steamed broccoli, tomatoes, all sprinkled with a teaspoon of moringa.

Dessert: Cherry flapjack and yoghurt.

Never post on these food freds, but tonight an exception

Pan-fried Grouse breast wrapped in streaky bacon with mash and asparagus (from the garden) with a port, cranberry and clementine juice sauce). For the avoidance of doubt, have a freezer full of oven ready grouse, and it will be fish fingers and chips tomorrow night.
One can only take so much luxury

Blackbarn, you are winning thus far, that sounds just the sort of meal I would order in a restaurant. I had a steak and onion sandwich a bit earlier and am on the cheeseboard now. Nowt special but does the job.

yours sounds good Slippy.  Mine's an exception hence the post.  Don't normally eat game midweek, but just fancied something nice. Pinched the sauce recipe off the internet - didn't have any cranberries so bought a jar of cranberry sauce from Waitrose and went from there.

Hope you are well.  Do let me know when you are next at Plumpton and I'll buy you a beer (and bring you a brace of something!)

Himmel und Erde: potatoes, red onion and apple fried in butter (das Himmel/heaven), with duck livers (die Erde/earth) added when the pan's really hot. Seasoned with stinging nettles from the garden and ground black pepper.

Gruyère cheese & smoked ham omelette, some side salad arrangement. little french dressing and crusty bread.

Not tonight but last night:

12 Walls sausages, eaten straight from the oven with nothing else but Daddies tomato sauce to dip them in before each bite.

That's why nothing so far tonight. Still sausaged up.

Leek and Cheddar sausages and mash, with seasonal vegetabes, served with onion gravy, for me.

Half carton of Aldi low fat Greek style yoghurt, 1 banana, small bunch of grapes, handful of almonds and a strong cup of black coffee, no sugar.

Quorn chilli with rice.  About three big bowls worth. 

12 sausages Tommy?  Ffs man.

Have got a rack of ribs marinating in a JD sauce for later, baked potato and asparagus with some parmesan cheese. That's me sorted for later.

roasted cockchafer served on a bed of fresh young dandelion leaves. and salad cream.

You are actually one third of the way to a very tasty meal there.

12 sausages Tommy?  Ffs man.

Making a pig of himself.

Excellent but with salad cream! Would have preferred a garlicky vinaigrette myself.

Who the hell likes salad cream? It's God awful, sugary stuff, I would not have that syrup on any sarnie let alone dinner.

"Heinz salad cream, contains 17.5g of sugar per 100g"

17.5% sugar, yuk.

60pc less fat than mayonaise.  Now that stuff is filth, only the french could make something that is 90pc fat and doesn't even taste nice.

Rob, are you seriously suggesting that the animal fat in egg yolks is anything but a healthy and essential part of our diet?

All things in moderation.  A few eggs mixed with six gallons of oil is not moderation.  Typically artless, witless french cuisine.

The worst is sauce hollandaise. How anyone can eat fish smothered in that evil concoction is beyond me.

Agreed.

Typically artless, witless french cuisine

you do talk some sh1t, stick to your jacket spuds

Eh? A few eggs mixed in six gallons of oil IS moderation. Excessive would be mixing a load of eggs in one gallon of oil.

It isn't moderating the oil.

Two roasted chicken breasts with two large sausages, red onion stuffing, steamed broccoli and haricot verts, with a load of real gravy.

Followed by 4 large sausages dipped in Daddies tomato ketchup.

I was hungry.

Baked potatoes with sausage casserole.

And spinach, peas and courgette.

News flash.
Walls sausage factory working double shifts tomorrow to fulfil unexpectedly large order from the Stoke on Trent area. Pig farmers put on standby.

hehehe!

I had Tesco's Butchers Choice tonight, Foinavon. More porky, which go better with the chicken - but Walls' are better with the Daddies.

I've already stocked up for tomorrow's breakfast as a precaution Tommy although I prefer Waitrose own label which has a proper porky taste too.

No Waitrose's around here, Foinavon. We're too plebby for 'em. Really. They as good as admitted as much when Stoke council tried tempting them with all sorts to get them to build a store here.

Bloody 'posh knobs'.
They can bugger off!

Bought a Pork Farms brand pork pie from Tesco today for lunch. Saw it sitting on the shelf calling out to me, eat me! Eat me! It was delicious with a few pickled onions and a spoonful of Branstons.

When the pork calls you just have to give in, Foinavon!

Hehe very true Tommy.

you should of choked on it Foinavon

I'm tempted to put my photo of the poor pigs kept in shocking conditions again, but I won't spoli the pork party!

Oh right, I deserve to die for eating meat. I hope you are a vegan Jayco, no dairy products, no leather, no sweets containing gelatine, no betting on horses or dogs because if not, you are a hypocrite.

I never use leather. Nothing against meat eaters, I just wish they would think what sort of conditions their meal had been kept in prior to eating it.

Agree, you just can't cook sausages on a dirty frying pan.

You tool, it was your comment on the other thread about diabetes being a self inflicted thing.

I didn't post anything on your Type 2 Diabetes thread Jayco. Perhaps you could explain which comment on which thread?

I am all for the improvement of animal welfare Kenny and welcome your threads on the subject.

One of the biggest issues for me is the way that our government and others around the world have sanctioned the ritual slaughter of animals. This is totally unnecessary and causes suffering in the name of lunacy.

Thank you kind sir, can you tell Tommy that who thinks I'm a pain in the arse?

I had this.

OVEN BAKED CAMEMBERT
with caramelised onion, roasted garlic & drizzled with honey, served
with warm bread

I always find ovens the best places to bake them.

Have some friends coming over tonight for a thai takeaway.

Will report back on the quality/selection.

Six large sausages (in celebration of The Mighty Potters' 6 goals - to do anything less would have been churlish) dipped in pickled onion vinegar, followed by a 200g tin of Red Salmon, with vinegar, and fresh English tomatoes.

Wonderful snapping!

Apologies Foinavon, in my drunken state i'd confused you with another chit chatter whose username begins with F. Sorry for jumping the gun, I'm not vegan and hope you enjoyed your pork pie supper.

Two roasted chicken breasts with roasted green, yellow and red peppers, roasted red onions and steamed broccoli all then put in a pan and flash fried in oyster and spring onion sauce.

Delicious.
