We gad a salad today, might do a Bread and Butter Pudding for later.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Just made a big box of salad as everyone is coming and going today doubt anyone will eat together so they can just dip into that.

Will be doing 'faggots', & steamed veg with gravy. I also have a rhubarb pie in my freezer so may have of that with custard as a 'pudding'.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Funny you should mention pie I just found one in the freezer and have no idea what it is. Will defrost it for tomorrow but whether it has custard with it or gravy I am not sure

Just had Thai Chicken Curry and Noodles.

Sarnie for tonight.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Sorry uncle joe, I hate coconut, unless occasionally in a coconut cake, or in a very thin sprinkling on the top of the custard in a Manchester tart, and the cherries worked just fine.

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

I have often used a can of creamed mushrooms as a sauce on roast chicken, but for a casserole where you need a little more sauce, have you tried condensed mushroom soup?

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Picked up a couple of rather large chicken breasts topped with a cheese sauce and wrapped in smoked streaky bacon for £2 so am going to roast those, and will boil some spuds in their jackets skin, dice and sauté them and serve with French beans and carrots.

Here's a bit of a conundrum, why do carrots cut into batons taste better than those cut into slices?

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Mmmm, salad with chicken, bacon and avocado and oooh, so sweet tomatoes. I wish fresh food in Ireland were as cheap and tasty!

Re: What are you having for lunch/dinner?

Has anyone else had the thought that this thread is a bit like those times in a restaurant when you have just placed your order and the waitress walks past with someone else's meal, and you think, Ooo, that looks nice?

Any way tomorrow we are having a childhood favourite which is both very easy very cheap, and soooo tasty. Simply peel and slice a couple of large onions and start to fry on a medium heat, then peel and quarter some floury spuds and start them boiling, as the onions begin to brown, gradually tip in some of the potato water, literally continue in this way until the potatoes are cooked and you have a frying pan full of soft brown onions. Sprinkle some plain flour over the onions and stir in, then gradually add more hot water until you have achieved a thick glossy onion gravy. Now just layer in slices of corned beef and reduce heat, and cream the potatoes. Serve with veggie of choice although when I was a child all them years ago my mum would use tinned processed peas and add the juices to the gravy, added a lovely flavour. The corned beef simply dissolves into the gravy and you just pour it over the creamed spuds and peas. Not the prettiest of dinners, but one of the cheapest and tastiest.
