Full breakfast at 08.00, coffee & sandwiches at 10.30ish, full lunch at 13.00, more coffee and sandwiches at 3.30ish, Supper at 19.00, and more coffee and sandwiches around 21.00. On Sundays, instead of Supper they called it 'High Tea' but it was still a full cooked meal. In the first term - January - Easter I gained a full stone in weight!!!
yes I did wonder what they could teach you about politics, and was feeling quite sorry for you foodwise, so when are you going back??

Sad to say Hazel darlin' but it's a one off once in a lifetime, so won't be going back there unfortunately.

Re: Inedible foods.

I was browsing my photos when I was reminded of another dish I was unable to eat. If I hadn't wandered into the kitchen before the meat was cut up and put in the wok it wouldn't have been a problem. However the sight of raw toad straight from the paddy field and freshly skinned rather put me off.



I don't mind if they look reproachfully at you afterwards.


Smile for the camera... Yum!

Bruce those are positively mouth watering compared to what the two girls from "I'm a celebrity get me out of here" had to eat.

Re: Inedible foods.

Cream of chicken soup and hot buttered toast soldiers are my go to when feeling under the weather. Funny thing about porridge is that I never fancy it unless someone mentions it then get a craving, but unlike everyone on here I make it with water in the microwave, and add just a touch of salt, yeah I know sounds odd, but it actually does seem to sweeten it. I used to love golden syrup or even, and have to say this was my fave, tinned evaporated milk, like carnation, it makes the porridge go all thick and sticky. But since being diagnosed with TypeII it is salt and a dash of milk for me.

As for food I cannot/will not eat, have to agree with the tripe vote here, tasted it once and it was a bit like trying to eat a soggy flannel.

Re: Inedible foods.

Actually come to think of it there are a few other things cannot/will not eat; brawn, (hate the jelly bit) trotters, chitterlings, get the drift here? However I do like liver, (thick onion gravy and creamy mash mmmmmm) faggots (in a bowl covered with tin processed peas and baked long and slow in oven then dressed with vinegar and pepper and served with crusty bread - another mmmm), and another family favourite is stuffed and braised lambs hearts, or braised ox heart. Actually thick slices of ox heart can be fried or grilled and served with chips etc as a much cheaper alternative to steak, and is always tender, juicy and lacking in fat.

DM I have a very good butcher who gets me lots of 'safari' meats (Eland, kangaroo, Kudu, Ostrich, water buffalo, Wildebeeste and Zebra) - lovely rich and very healthy meats as there is no fat on the steaks whatsoever, just solid chunks of flesh. I chop them,marinade them, toss in flour, flash fry them to seal the meat and then cook them in the slow cooker - absolutely delicious!!!
