You just reminded me there was a Fry's Peppermint Cream in the freezer, was being the operative word.

Years since I had one, very tasty.

One more night cap, early start tomorrow.

Still on the rice with tomato, onion, dill, lemon juice buzz with fish.

I think my next phase might be German style, sausage with sauerkraut and mustard.

Smoked fish with rye bread and pickles also feels good to me now.

bulmers and chicken sandwiches here. no need to glam it up.

igCorcaigh

Smoked coley fried in butter with dill and sumac is buried in there with butter basmati rice and beetroot tomato salad and raw onion.

I'm WFH in the family home in the wesssht of Ireland and my Dad keeps bringing me in coffee and treats. I've had chocolate digestives and a truckload of Quality Streets so far today ("shur they're only 5 quid in Lidl!")

"Fat b@stard" mode activated.

Sulking on a mini packet of fig rolls I stole from the boardroom.

I received an unmerciful verbal beating from the CEO at this mornings quarterly SMT. Followed by a cold prolonged stare. It was a very uncomfortable moment.

The meeting included a video call from an important client who manufactures contact lenses in Seoul ,S Korea. I developed severe bellyache after he announced,

" dewing rees haad thimes , we awl hav two twy much much haada"

I could not trust myself to hold much down after that, even the CEO couldn't keep it together.

Takeaway later.

It's a low budget dinner this evening. Breaded mini chicken fillets from Aldi. Salad from Aldi. Sweet chilli sauce from Aldi. Chunky chips from Supervalu own brand. Whole thing worked out at less than 2 quid a head and was great.

Dearest part of this dinner was the crusty roll that's not in the picture and cost 25 cent...

And the License fee to kill the meat, surely that has to be factored in.:D Looks delish. Venison is good meat. I brought a tin of it home from Russia a few years ago. Seen it shot, skinned and tinned. No label on the tin either.:eek:

Licence is free, bullet cost about a euro alright.

Can't beat the venison, healthiest meat of the lot.

Crept up on this fella just after dawn this morning, a right poser..

Aldi knock off version of Turkish delight. A big bar for 97 cent. Cadbury's can fook off!:D

Can anyone on here recommend where to get decent quality German food (for home cooking)?

I'll go with the sauerkraut I can get from local producers on Neighbourfood.

Can any of the Lidl or Aldi German meat sausage be trusted?

Those chicken fillets are gorgeous, also the chicken goujons from the same range, I buy them every week and put them in the brioche burger buns, I add grated cheese, coleslaw, onions and their taco sauce, honestly I'd be delighted if I got it served to me in a restaurant, so nice.

igCorcaigh

Can those chicken fillets be fried or grilled?

My oven is banjaxed. Makes smoke.

Nice salad too, I have raw onion with nearly everything I eat.

igCorcaigh

More of the same... Fish with potato and salad.

Same here, I love raw onion, put it into most of my sandwiches and also lovely just with mash, butter and salt.

I put the chicken in the oven but I'm sure you could fry also,low and slow to be on the safe side.

Coffee and Cadbury Wholenut here, just a few squares. ☺️

Says oven only. But you can airfry if you have one as it's basically an oven of sorts.

This might be a really stupid question, but have you tried giving it a deep clean?

I have, but it's too old and the bottom part is leaking. I live in rented accommodation, must get onto the landlord...

I can still grill, so I like using pita bread to improvise for pizza, which is what I will have today!

Grandeeod

Grub done. Roast chicken, gravy, peas, carrots, roast spuds and garlic and cheese potato gratin. It's time for Wednesday night beers and Zoom.

Buy an Aifryer if you can. You won't regret it. I rarely use my oven.
