Belated birthday wishes to the birthday girls

.

I had a Tesco salmon parcel, broccoli and leftover sweet potato mash heated on the frying pan with a glass of Shiraz, quite nice.

Was just thinking that there's an Autumnal feel there this evening and now all your posts have me craving a nice proper dinner.

Just had a banana earlier but will make something nice when the savages get back from their match.

I got that feeling earlier so I had pork, roast potatoes vegetables, gravy and a glass of vino for dinner.

I rounded it off with so-called 'old style chocolate cake' and tea.
Yum yum

Need to go for a constitutional now.

Epic stuff lads! The food of kings.

Working all day, but managed to do some homemade bun burgers and chips for the ladies. I'm not a fan of that type of food (even as takeaway) as I find it boring. I'd prefer the homemade burger smothered in onions and mushrooms with gravy/pepper sauce, peas and mash! Didn't have the energy tonight so having a beer as not really working tomorrow, but dreaming of that meal anyway.:(

Just hand a banana. A really ripe one. My daughter thought the bruised ones tasted crap until I told her they're the best ones!

Ah we've all been there. I shouldn't say, but we used to toast the bread on the fire :eek:

Bread on the end of the poker :pac:

I prefer under ripe bananas. Am I weird? I think they taste better but the mushy ones are better in a honey sandwich.

We did that..the nicest toast ever ,the burnt hands were the only drawback.

Well my banana was well ripe as it was in my handbag all day but wasn't hungry in work,similar to the kids apple in to lunchbox,could be the same one all week when they won't eat it but you have to make the lunch look healthy.

You are probably in the majority S. I just never liked the taste and firmness of a banana straight off the stall. But when I was young most bananas were verging on ripeness when they were bought. If they were under ripe, we used to put them near the fire or heater.:eek:

It always had a certain burned/sooty flavour that we loved.

Nostalgia night in here !

Picking wild mushrooms , then cooking them on the top of the cooker , with just a little salt , they'd fill up with juices that would scald the mouth off you

In our case it was cockles and periwinkles that we collected on the beach, cooked with milk and onions, oh how I hated those! I may have just been told of that though :pac:

I'm waiting for the La-Di-Da boardsie who had a proper toasting fork.

I remember my Dad would go out at the dawn to pick them for us..delicious.
Or if someone went fishing and dropped a few mackerel in and my dad would gut it and they'd all be thrown in the pan and fried.
They really were the good old days lol.

Remember if your mam made homemade chips (once in a blue moon for us) and that hard block of frytex was used in a saucepan to cook them.That tasted gorgeous.

Frytex? We had the cheap Dunnes stores version.:D Seriously! Cookeen was another posh version. I remember once my mother fried chips and sausages in a frying pan with butter because my Dad was late home from work on Friday with the wages and we had no hard block. Tasted manky and I got the head bet off me coz I wouldn't eat the dinner.:eek:

I can still remember picking periwinkles at the beach but I can't say if I ever ate them or not. I was a squeamish kid

It wasn't a toasting fork. It was the ham fork!! Harrumph.

We used to do toast over the open fire and the mushrooms on top of the stove. I'm only in my early 30s so not that old

We also used to eat a lot of game and fish. Meat like cows tongue and heart. It's how they managed at the time.

Just had an Edam and tomato sandwich and a handful of peanuts. Washed down with a glass of white wine.

Surreptitious · 13-08-2018 08:49PM

We never had frytex, everything in the early 90s was cooked in the deep fat fryer. Jesus when I think of it now, so unhealthy.
