What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[RubyToogood]

Bowl of cardamomy coconutty porridge with summer fruits, yoghurt and maple syrup.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

That went on shortly after.

We went for a meal once with a friend who, it turned out, hated gravy. That meant that in her house no one else could have gravy either. We never ate there again.

 

[Kevbad the Bad]

Pieminister Kevin pie, carrots with mustard glaze, broccoli.

I must admit I was disappointed with Kevin pie. I had to try it, for obvious reasons, but I wasn't even quite sure what it was meant to taste like, let alone what it actually tasted of.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

ROast pork with roast spuds, roast sprouts, caramelised onions and gravy. Followed by cheese.

I've had it once or twice but it's really vinegary for some strange reason.

 

[Zorra]

Lasagne (one meat, one spinach, both shared between us), salad, garlic bread. Orange muffins for afters, made because there were three oranges left over from the Christmas glut and they were saddening me with their wizened state.

 

[colacubes]

Chicken supreme topped with Parma ham accompanied by honey and mustard potato and parsnip bake.

 

[tufty79]

Insulin, 10 min Wait, veg pasta, fox's glacier mint, Wensleydale and a tiny bit of chutney, half a 'for you' swizzels love heart

 

[Epona]

I had a paella type thing with chicken, red peppers, and peas. I was supposed to be doing similar for OH with seafood but he had a really late lunch (cullen skink type thing, quite hearty) then fell asleep on the sofa then decided to go to bed early - he's working tomorrow. We're very grateful that he has been getting work but he's only had 1 day a week off for a while now and he just kind of collapses a bit and sleeps on Sundays, fair enough. I'll finish cooking that for him (adding rice and prawns!) tomorrow when he gets home from work.

 

[dessiato]

I'm having vegetarian haggis tonight, if I can find my recipe. We are "going to" Janey Godley online gig for Burns Night. But we are alcohol free so will not consume our traditional bottle of whiskey.

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Pilchards on toast.

 

[dessiato]

Pilchards on toast.

That was one of the meals my father and I both loved. He used to take me to museums and art galleries when I was 6 or 7 and we’d have pilchards (or sardines) on toast. Bitter sweet memories now he’s gone.

It brings back memories of my childhood in Birmingham too. Whenever my mum could afford to treat us, she'd take us to a cafe (sadly knocked down years ago) that served really nice sardines on toast, and toasted teacake for afters.

 

[fishfinger]

Haggis, neeps and tatties.

Did they grill the sardines to warm them? That was Dad’s “trick.” Had to be pilchards/sardines in tomato sauce, nothing else. And teacakes with a lot of butter melting on them.

Yes! That's exactly how I like them to this day.

We used to have sprats a lot when I was a kid. Are they still a thing? Never seen any in the supermarket

 

[dessiato]

Yes! That's exactly how I like them to this day.

Me too! I’ve just had some for lunch because of this, but we haven’t a grill. It’s good but it’s not right.

I find warming them in the oven for five minutes or the microwave works just as well.

 

[colacubes]

Spaghetti with leeks, peas and bacon.

I’ll try that next time.

I think the first time I had them in a gallery with Dad was in The Tate. It was definitely one of the big ones. It was just me and him. We went on a day trip to London. I don’t know where my mother and sister were. I remember we changed at Peterborough for the Louth to Grimsby line.

This is flooding back memories!

Pilchards remind me of mashed pilchard butties, that my mother would make for picnics. Looked like murder on a butty but tasted amazing.

 

[sojourner]

The fella's still feeling ropey after his Covid jab, so he requested something 'easy on the stomach'. Spinach and mascarpone penne it is then, with a squeeze of lemon juice, toasted pine nuts and parmesan over the top.

Toying with the idea of making that self-saucing lemon pudding that was mentioned on here. That, or I'll make gooey dark choc and cranberry cookies.

What vegetable do the lungs come from? Broccoli looks a bit like lungs I guess

There’s no need for any offal, with it being vegetablealien. It’s just tasty. Tasty is what I’m after.

My Mum always did those, too.
Childhood days on the beach always involved sandy pilchard sandwiches and orange squash. Bliss.
Still partial to a pilchard butty.

Don't think I've ever had that - I've got loads of tins in so might try it.

Going to have a shop-bought sarnie tonight - smoked salmon and egg.

Lovely with a good shake of pepper on too.
