What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[crustychick]

the boy made lentil and carrot soup with garlic croutons

 

[ringo]

Tried the 'national dish' - cod and chips.

Big sweaty fish finger is what it should be called. Bored of it by 1/4 of the way through, soldiered on and I now I feel like I've ingested a deep fat fryer.

 

[Biddlybee]

Sweaty? The batter should be crispy

 

[tufty79]

Mash and gravy

 

[moonsi til]

I have a heart shaped dish (a white one). So far made a heart shaped veggie cottage pie & a flan.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

I did the lads sausage and mash plus mushrooms and whole cherry tomatoes fried in butter.

 

[moose]

I'm plotting a tomato gratin for tomorrow.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Courgette soup with some grated cheddar on top and garlic bread from the freezer.
Will prob give them some ice cream for pudding as a pay off for having soup for dinner.

As Biddly says, should be a nice crispy batter. Is lovely when done properly and served with chunky chips, minted peas and ketchup

 

[Biddlybee]

oooh I had a lush fish and chips last week, even though the chips were served stacked in a poncy way

tonight... bubbly and nibbles

 

[TitanSound]

I'm thinking about doing a proper Creole gumbo tonight. Half an hour just on making the roux though. And one of those things that requires constant attention. Then about another hour and a half cooking time on top of that. Hmmmm. So worth it in the end though.

 

[wtfftw]

pulled pork tonight. with rolls. and leftover chilli. and maybe salad.

gah, lacking inspiration. the new infestation of food moths has put paid to anything rice based for a while eeeuw.

Poor you. We managed to get rid of ours but it's given me a lifelong horror - have to check rice etc every single time I use it now.

Well, I have about 10 fishfingers left to eat, so if I can face them, it's those with some lemon and coriander couscous, and if my tomatoes didn't blow off the fucking plants last night, a few of them mixed in a salady type thing with chopped red onion.

Minted peas are an abomination and should be fucking banned

^ this, whoever came up with it? FFS leave the peas alone!

I got pie and mash from Pieminster at a festie this summer, and the only peas they had were minted mushy peas.

They felt the sharp edge of my tongue, let me tell you. Posh cunts - couldn't BELIEVE they didn't have any normal mushy peas!!

 

[machine cat]

I've only just heard of minted peas.

Who the fuck has mint flavoured mushy peas with a fish supper?

 

[Biddlybee]

Look in the supermarkets, most of the tins are minted mushy peas... peas and mint = wrong.

See? SEE??? It's wrong isn't it?

Yeah, it looked crispy in the shop but then it got wrapped and bagged so by the time I got home the steam had turned everything soggy. Next time I'll go to Olleys or the Cow in Dull-witch and eat one fresh.

Probably won't go for cod though, not very fish stock friendly is it? Not very clued up about that, what should we be eating to not deplete stocks? Haddock?

I will have a look (and maybe a spot of sabbotage) this lunchtime.

See? SEE??? It's wrong isn't it?

I'm fucking offended!

 

[ringo]

Baked spud with leftover veggie chilli + cheese.

And probably mayo </ducks>

 

[ringo]

I want to try these minty peas now. I love peas.

I don't really like Olley's or the Sea Cow (sea cow does nice fish, but their chips aren't right, and Olley's is way overpriced). Pub fish and chips can sometimes be a winner though

Tbh, no fish is great, but I have it in my head that cod is the worst, so tend to go for haddock or hake - hake is lovely

 

[TitanSound]

You bloody bunch of philistines. I bet if this was the dark ages you'd all have me burnt at the stake?

Mint, peas, butter...YUM.
