What's for tea tonight? (pt 2)

[madzone]

Home made steak pie, taties and veg

 

[Mrs Miggins]

My missus has 'found' 2 duck halves in the freezer?!?!?! so we're having them (doen nice and crispy!) with some Dauphinoise tatties. I expect to feel greased up to the eyeballs later on!

Sounds somewhat extravagant for a Monday!

 

[Phenol]

Sounds somewhat extravagant for a Monday!

Yeah I agree.
Beans on toast for the rest of the week!

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Yeah I agree.
Beans on toast for the rest of the week!

...and rough, hessian undergarments I trust

 

[sheothebudworths]

I've decided to do a courgette and potato bake with some bechamel featuring in it somewhere, rather than the tato, courgette and feta cakes....just for a change like....

 

[moomoo]

Gosh, you won't want to be slumming it round here anymore then

Must have made a bit of a change, using clean toilets, eh?

Did I say the toilets were clean?

Mind you, they were probably cleaner than the ones you are used to.

 

[Mogden]

Spag bol here too. I'm positively craving it at the moment so it'll be huge portions with a mountain of parmesan on it. Flashy did curry last night mopped up with naans. Curries are getting more frequent at our place now we've realised just how easy a basic jobby is.

 

[sojourner]

Mind you, they were probably cleaner than the ones you are used to.

One day, I'll show you the toilets I use

They'll be cleaner than yours

 

[moonsi til]

Im thinking of ordering in a curry. I have been off work as unable to move neck/shoulder so therefore I simply can't shop or cook....will most prob be makini paneer and a Indian mixed veg curry and rice...

 

[moomoo]

That made me go all eewww.

I've just had a ham and mustard roll.

I made courgette lasagne the other day to try and use up my courgette mountain. Grated the courgettes and fried them gently in olive oil, then added bechamel (I used a carton because I am lazy). Then layered it up with lasagne sheets which I'd part cooked, tomato sauce and cheese. I reckon some slices of parma ham would have been nice in there too.

 

[mentalchik]

Just had a big, v rare steak, with salad and a bit of fresh warm bread !



(major red meat craving satisfied for another few months)



mmmmmmm

I did exactly the same - but without the tomato and with the addition of a layer of fried mushrooms and of with thinly sliced parboiled spuds instead of the pasta!

Finished it off with a final layer of potatoes, a bit more bechamel and then a thin layer of breadcrumbs and a bit of grated cheddar and it was yum!


Might have to give yours a go next though cos we've got courgettes coming out of our ears atm!

 

[aqua]

fish and salmon fish cakes with jacket potato and baked beans

bees forgot to take the mince out of the freezer

 

[feyr]

vegtable sushi, and donuts, yum yums to be precise

Oooh, I love yum yums!

 

[mrsfran]

Alex B's risotto. It was his best yet. Really, really yummy.

 

[mrsfran]

I'm totally excited about tomorrow's tea. Alex is going out for the evening so I'm going to have the special food I bought for myself at Borough market a few weeks ago:

Snails in truffle butter.

OMG. I can't wait.

 

[May Kasahara]

I love you missfran, but you're a wrong'un

 

[hiccup]

I love you missfran, but you're a wrong'un

S'true. Made of snail

 

[mrsfran]

Snails are the mark of a true gourmet. Those that fancy themselves foodies but are false will turn away at snails, but the true gourmet will delight in them.

Eeeeewwww! I'm so glad I'm not a real foodie!

 

[mrsfran]

They're lovely, like exceptionally meaty mushrooms. IN TRUFFLE BUTTER.

ISWYDT.

I have seen you eat a snail. You said it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be. You're trapped by fear and prejudice. Why must you be prejudiced? Why?

 

[moomoo]

I'm interested now. Are they not slimy or gooey?

Mind you, the mere fact that they are snails would stop me being able to eat them!

 

[hiccup]

Because prejudice is fun.

 

[mrsfran]

Not in the least bit slimy or gooey. They're texture is, as I said, like a meaty mushroom. Or, a bit like clams but more earthy.

Like the two things I dislike eating most, you mean? Ewwwrgh.

Never mind missfran, you can have mine

Would you eat a slug? They're the same thing aren't they, except without a little house? I've always wondered whether French foodies eat slugs too, do you know the answer?

(this is a genuine question btw, even if you are made of snail )

 

[mrsfran]

If it were cleaned and cooked in truffled butter, I might eat a slug. But because it hadn't had a protective shell all its life, I'd imagine it would be quite tough and rubbery and probably not very nice.

 

[May Kasahara]

Do you know, that had never occurred to me Duh.

Anyway, slugs are the wrongness. They don't deserve to be eaten, not even by John Prescott.
