What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[Epona]

I was going to say that I so know that feeling and that it sounds like a day for either toast or a takeaway... and then....



Do it!

Would love to, can't afford it - this last couple of years have been an absolute bastard - got fish & chips on my birthday, next takeaway or delivery or meal out I predict happening in 2024 if our finances have improved.

Change of plan for me.
Chicken Shish wrap, Halloumi wrap, chips/hummus/Turkish bread delivered from local Efes, Falafel side, washing it down with a Levi Roots Caribbean Crush.

What do you mean by turkish bread?

 

[miss direct]

Proud of my late night effort.

 

[weltweit]

Small fish and small chips.

Always fills me up so larger would only up end in the bin.

It’s delightful?

What do you mean by turkish bread?

I am not Numbers but I know the restaurant, the bread is a puffy but flat circular/oval yeast proven bread and every Turkish restaurant or takeaway or shop in East or North London sells it and it is bloody lush (and I have a good recipe for it and make it at home sometimes if anyone wants the recipe - and btw you can get it to rise higher in the middle if you don't do all the markings on it - either way is bloody lush).

No-knead Turkish bread - Lazy Cat Kitchen

Our no-knead Turkish bread is the easiest bread you will make as it requires no kneading, only just mixing the ingredients and then shaping. It comes out light and airy.

Ok. Its just that there are loads of kinds of Turkish bread and the bog standard one is rubbish, so good to know what is meant in the UK by the term

This is standard bread in Turkey (its not good):

Oh no it isn't that, and the stuff that we call "Turkish Bread" here, at least in this part of London from Turkish restaurants is fucking amazing

It looks very much like Ramazan pide, which is the best. Last year during curfew weekends, the ramazan pide van would drive slowly around the streets. Running out to buy several freshly bajed, warm pides, was often the highlight of the day. Not available the rest of the year, making it more special.

Yeah that is it exactly and it is lovely. It is available here any time because I cook it myself if I fancy some

I know that one - was where the toast came in!
For me, there just always has to be a NOT ARSED option, when I REALLY can't be bothered to even think about cooking.
Luckily we all like beans on toast well enough, or porridge during the times that a takeaway hasn't been an option, on the odd days that I just cba.
I think it's an entitlement when you are the main/sole provider of food in your household, too!
Hope things pick up for you - it's hard times, I know.

Tea of sausage sarnies was disappointing - the bread was horrible and sweet, I feel like I need to go back to making my own so we can have bread that isn't sweet.

 

[Roseygirl]

Made a cottage pie. Smothered it with vinegar and had mushy peas with it. Delish

 

[LeytonCatLady]

Roast pork, potatoes, broccoli and carrots.

Cheers Epona

 

[farmerbarleymow]

Falafel

 

[Badgers]

Two very decent looking rump steaks from the #haggleshelf which are soaking in some olive oil, garlic and seasoning at the moment.

Will be served with chunky chips and peas.

 

[May Kasahara]

Making a curry tonight - chicken and cauliflower, possibly with some sort of beetroot on the side. Rice and maybe a mini naan too.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Halloumi, hummus and salad wraps. Melon and Minstrels for pudding.

 

[moose]

The mister is doing an Italian bread-baking course, so I'm anticipating great things for tea!

But it's not Wednesday

Yep - my sister bought him the course for his birthday. We won't need to buy bread for a while - it all looks splendid!

 

[Looby]

This didn't happen last night because when I unpacked the box the sea bass packaging had split, so we had lemony sea bass and bulgur wheat with tomato and courgette.
We'll have the chipotle chicken tonight.

We had the chipotle chicken last night too. I really enjoyed it.
Spag bol tonight.

Do you keep the little glass dishes?

I learned recently that a Pringles lid fits perfectly on them you don't even need to buy the Pringles, just pop a few lids off while you shop.
