Baked spud curry beans extra mature Scottish cheddar.

Venison casserole.

 

[Badgers]

Gammon (from the #haggleshelf) with new potatoes or mash and peas.
Might make a parsley sauce or possibly some cider gravy.

Venison casserole.

I barely eat meat these days, but I do miss a nice bit of venison, cooked right. Way too easy to fuck it up!

 

[sojourner]

Anyway, we're on veggie tagine, and couscous.

Rest of the choccy cake and a brew for afters.

Just realised I have no potatoes or chips do have some cheese filled gnocchi but that seems a bit decadent.

deep fry them and serve with fish

This week I will mostly be eating ...
All for £30
I could knock £5 and a lot of calories off by dropping the pine nuts ...

also if you could bring yourself to buy waitrose own brand tomatoes (or m&s for that matter) you'd save yourself some money too. i don't know how many grams of pine nuts you have there but the going rate at sainsburys is something like £3.50 for a hundred grams.

The cheap tomatoes usually have citric acid added - I recently tried some Aldi ones .. another reason for going for Napolina is I don't have to carry them so far... (I have a Tesco on the corner where I also go for one or two other things)
Aldi's pine nuts are 1.29 for 60g (so £2.15 for 100g) (they hide them in with 10 times as many bags of pumpkin seeds) - and I quite often have 3 packets a week.
I quite often chuck in a can of soup too at some point and I find most soups cloying - even in a stew - so tend to make special trips to the CooP for a particular soup that Tesco annoyingly dropped...

Chicken. One of those ready to roast joints from Marks without pesky bones.

M & S are surprisingly good value for basic stuff like tinned toms, and they're nice too. Only problem is that I leave with loads of more expensive stuff.

M & S tinned toms have citric acid too gentlegreen - I think most types do.

What's wrong with citric acid though - it's a perfectly normal and safe additive?

I think I was put off by Tesco's own brand pineapple slices and I'm fairly sure the value tomatoes were a bit caustic too ...

They should be acidic not caustic - are you adding bases to them once you open the tin?

App foraged takeaway.

 

[miss direct]

Chicken fesenjan - that's an Iranian dish made of slow cooked chicken in a crushed walnut and pomegranate sauce.
Apple crisp and custard.

 

[Numbers]

This thread is delicious.

 

[Elpenor]

It was going to be some leftover veg but it had gone off. So quickly heated some pasta and that was it

 

[colacubes]

Massaman curry. If the beef ever fucking cooks

 

[May Kasahara]

Baked cod, sauté potatoes, broccoli and cabbage. It was fucking well nice.

OMG I need to try this fesenjan business.

 

[RubyToogood]

The seasonal return of miso soup with gyoza and greens. Yum.

Winter has some good points. Big steaming vats of miso, porridge, baked potatoes. Etc.

 

[Zorra]

Bagel with peanut butter and a beer for me: chips and chicken goujons for the Smalls. Negative COVID test results all round

I use loads of tinned tomatoes and definitely agree they can sometimes be way too acidic. Sainsbury's SoOrganic are the best ones I've found of the supermarket brands and they're only 80p. Also I think generally the whole ones taste better than the chopped and it's only a little bit of a ballache to break them up yourself.
