What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[tonysingh]

Potato wedges with whatever I grab from ALDI in a bit. Am feeling a bit fat at the moment and can't go gym so need to be careful food wise.

 

[moonsi til]

On Sunday I had a lush nut roast from The Canteen in Bristol. Really recommend if you are in the area.

Today I have a fresh Gousto box & hoping my partner chooses to cook the paneer curry.

 

[onenameshelley]

Went with the spicy Jerk sausage pasta, works pretty well, but I am a wuss these days for spice and I got a couple of spicy bits and now my tongue tip is numb

 

[sojourner]

Daughter's cooking Caramelised shallots, fried halloumi, charred peppers, tomato salad, green salad.

Vanilla cheesecake for afters, now that we've finally demolished the dark choc muffins laden with rose buttercream icing

 

[Numbers]

We’re having the (last of the) Baked French Spuds + Fish Fingers. Cornetto afters.

What does Baked French Spuds entail? (I am imagining something like Lyonnaise potatoes done in the oven but could be wide of the mark!)

 

[Carvaged]

Back to London for a couple of nights. Found something I froze from last visit with red kidney beans and chickpeas in it. I have no memory of it at all but hope it's tasty!

 

[onenameshelley]

Numbers I was in Aldi the other day and noticed they did vienettas on sticks, and thought of you for some reason. ❤

 

[nottsgirl]

Veggie sausages with sub rolls, all the sauces, chips, freezer mixed veg and broad beans. Krispy kreme donuts for after or later.

 

[moose]

Fajitatatatas, wedges

 

[Badgers]

Some steak, polish sausage and chickpea chilli. Served with rice aside and cheese atop.

 

[BoatieBird]

Chicken and red onions roasted in some chermoula spice, wedges, steamed broccoli and carrot

 

[weltweit]

There is a bit of a disaster occurring as regards my tea.

I have run out of broad beans and I have run out of beetroot.

What am I to do?

 

[Mrs Miggins]

More meat chilli and garlic bread!

 

[Epona]

Well thankfully my beef topside had a few days before the use-by date and is still good, because I came down with a tummy bug Sunday arvo and ended up not feeling like dinner and not eating much Sunday or Monday (other than a bit of toast and some sweets at some point).

So am having my roast beef dinner that I was really looking forward to tonight instead.

 

[tonysingh]

Decided to have a pot noodle instead.

 

[ouirdeaux]

Just the one noodle?

From the ever-benevolent Salmonella Corner: gammon steaks with pineapple, and nectarines, along with standard broccoli. The pineapple will be removed before cooking, because pineapple is a Good Thing, and gammon is a Good Thing, but only a mad person would combine them. This applies to virtually all dead animals plus fruit.

(The nectarines are obviously dessert, or quite possibly tomorrow's breakfast if they aren't yet ripe. Just to exclude the possibility of anyone thinking I was going to eat them with the gammon.)

Just the one Pot Noodle tonight. It's a Bombay Bad Boy one to which I've added scotch bonnet pepper sauce. Two of these and my first visit to the loo tomorrow will be traumatic

I just utterly destroyed four hot dogs in brioche buns with squeezy mustard. The vinegar in the mustard has made my tongue a bit sore.

Liked for the effort and capacity for 4 hotdogs in one sitting, that is something we should all aspire to

But brioche buns are the work of the devil when paired with savoury items - with butter and fruit jams/marmalades/other sweet preserves they are lovely - but they do not go with burgers or hot dogs and the sooner this goes out of fashion the better.
And if it is the vinegar in the mustard that is making your tongue sore rather than the mustard in your mustard then you are doing mustard wrong

Yeah, I surprised myself with that one. When I began eating I was worried that I would not be able to finish them off.

The brioche buns tasted fine to me, Urban is the only place I've seen anyone object to them. None of the people I have served them to in the world of the flesh have objected so far. Besides, if people can have pineapple on pizza without being driven into the sea for their crimes against cuisine by society at large, then I can have brioche with my hot dogs and burgers.

As for the mustard, I'm blaming the vinegar because it was a mild mustard, which is what's supposed to go on a hot dog inna bun. You don't put English "blows straight through your hard palate" mustard on a hot dog. At least, I don't.

Brioche buns are all the rage at the moment, no-one is going to actually complain if they are being served one, because we've been told on TV cookery shows for a couple of years now that it is a bit posher than a regular bun/roll and no-one wants to look like a working class donkey with no palate and be sneered at when they are eating out.

I positively fucking hate the trend though, I want a proper bloody non-sweet, non-enriched burger bun or hot dog roll, not this sweet nonsense, and the sooner this fashion dies a death, the better.

(Edit to add: I use French's mustard on hotdogs, it is what it exists for - I have never burned my mouth due to vinegar as a result though!)

 

[tonysingh]

4 hotdogs is barely a snack. But then I am a fat bastard.

These were the big ones from a jar mind you, not the titchy ones you get in tins.

My point stands.

 

[Epona]

Oh those massive Wikinger ones or similar?

2 is my limit for those, I'm in no way slender myself but anything more than that in one go would be pushing it. Especially if each is in a bun.

 

[platinumsage]

Parmigiana di Melanzane with Spinach and Ricotta, from a recipe. First time I have cooked dinner from a recipe in more than ten years.

 

[Epona]

My portion control goes out the window when it comes to Yorkshire pudding though, this is last night's effort cooked in a sandwich tin, it rose to absolutely massive proportions.

Thankfully OH scoffed the half of it that I couldn't manage with some leftover roast spuds, roast carrots and a tuna steak when he got in from work.

I am a little ashamed that I managed to scarf down half of the thing without so much as blinking mind you

 

[sojourner]

Cor, that looks stunning Epona !!

 

[sojourner]

We've been having big long-prep meals last few days, so I think it's time for something simple. Spaghetti tossed in chilli/garlic/olive oil, with sundried toms, black olives and shedloads of parmesan. Got a little bit of fresh spinach left over, so may well just toss that in too, let it wilt.

Vanilla cheesecake for afters.
