I see a few of you mention cous cous, what does it taste like?

I had bacon and cabbage this evening

It's a grain but tastes light and fluffy. You have to add stuff to it though otherwise it is bland. Lighter than rice, cooks faster as well.

Thanks for that

I love rice so I’ll try it

Thinking chili burger with cheese, onions, and jalapenos. Burger joint nearby. Time to hoof.

Cous cous with grated red onion, carrot and ice berg lettuce.

Surreptitious · 16-04-2021 6:13pm

Rows is on a wind up hehe

I had a Mighty Mac, large fries and a vanilla milkshake.

Hey Porklife, I saw this on Facebook and thought of you

Haha that's very me :-)
My friend came over for dinner last week and when she opened my fridge was like good God woman! She couldnt believe the amount of hot sauce and why i have so many. I tried explaining that some are citrusy and others are syrupy and...and...it was like defending a drug habit

Surreptitious · 17-04-2021 6:50pm

I had one of the Inspired pizzas for one. Sourdough mozzarella, tomatoes and basil pesto. It was ok, a bit salty.

SineadSpears · 17-04-2021 7:56pm

Birds Eye fish cakes, mixed salad leaves and sweet chilli sauce.

Fish cakes were a little greasy even though they were cooked in the oven. Still was tasty enough

Lidl do lovely frozen fish cakes. In the freezers that face you. I get them a lot. Not one bit greasy

Porklife · 18-04-2021 2:36pm

My favourite brunch. Avocado with lemon, chillies and spinach..hummus, brown bread and buttery cheesy eggs covered in hot sauce and a glass of OJ to top it off.

The chilli farm jalapeno sauce goes great with eggs and avocado!

Porklife · 18-04-2021 2:37pm

Forgot the picture:p

Grandeeod · 18-04-2021 3:47pm

Enjoyed a nice few nibbles with the few beers last night. Spicy chicken tenders, coleslaw, fries and a BBQ sauce dip.

Not long over roast beef over stuffing, mash, fried spuds, peas, carrots and gravy. Gonna finish the weekend with another few scoops.

Porklife · 18-04-2021 4:10pm

That looks really good G. My mash never turns out like that. My chicken is never great either. I had chicken supreme last night and binned most of it. The skin was chewy as opposed to crispy.

I'm toying with the idea of takeaway later but i might be good and make something instead. It remains to be decided...oohh the exciting life I lead:p

I've never made chicken supreme with skin on breast before. I always use diced breast. As for mash Porklife, it's easy. Roasters are my preferred choice. Chop into equal size pieces, wash and then boil. Stay with them, prodding with a knife until soft. Drain, chop up with a knife, butter, splash of milk, mash. Creamy as feck.:)

First beer. Apple pie and ice cream later.

Surreptitious · 18-04-2021 4:58pm

i was so hungry. I filled out three different orders but then shut down the page.
I ended up making a toastie from the 90s. Ham, tomato, cheese, white onion, mixed herbs and mayo and mustard.
Unreal stuff.
prob be hungry later though, I would think

It's all I eat! They had no spring onion in the shopping so I cut up a white onion and it was nicer. Reminds me of being in cafes years ago and you might even get a few chips on the side with it

You could live on them! It's been a few weeks since I had one. Needs decent ham too. I still remember my first one and where it was.:eek:

You have a better memory than me so! I lover food that reminds me of times in my life though.

IrishLad90 · 18-04-2021 6:23pm

Fish and shpuds tonight..
Slow cooking a chicken for meals during the week - with the good weather chicken wraps wit spinach/lettuce are a favourite here at the minute (light and fresh)

Rows Grower · 18-04-2021 6:57pm

Finally got to go for a decent spin today and called into a Tesco for the first time in about 4 months. This is as close to a takeaway meal we have had in that time too, ye lot don't know how lucky ye are to be able to order one whenever ye want.

Dirty fries with shared Meatsa Pizza, beer battered onion rings and Mizzoni garlic dough balls. Nowhere near finishing it but there might be a second lash at it later.

Autosport · 18-04-2021 6:59pm

Tonight’s dinner consisted of Ham, cheese and onion panini with sweet potato fries

Dessert is Death by chocolate pudding with the melted chocolate centre served with vanilla ice cream

The new pringles are tasty, the sour cream ones with the mild spicy flavor

Sounds right up my street! I've become so immune to spice. I had an Indian last week and the guy handed it to me and said good luck. I had asked for extra extra extra hot:p
I was disappointed. Maybe I've killed my taste buds over the years.

Weird thing ive started doing lately is putting honey on savoury food, anyone else do this? Breakfast of eggs with chillies and cheese for example but then honey on top. Not sure if its me being pregnant and/or weird

IrishLad90 · 19-04-2021 4:31pm

Keeping it fairly light today after the weekend
Breakfast : natural yoghurt, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and honey
Dinner : chicken wraps and cubed potato (from yesterday
Two coffees and plenty of water

Surreptitious · 19-04-2021 5:14pm

Dying for a takeaway. I will have to give in eventually. Either Indian curry or Chinese.

Fathom · 19-04-2021 7:44pm

Fresh baked breakfast cake with a dollop of honey butter. Followed by a sip of dark, rich java.

Autosport · 19-04-2021 8:33pm

Black bean dish would be my midweek chinese or a duck dish..
In the indian it has to be the whole meal : curry naan rice mango chutney lime/coriander poppadoms.. Place in Smithfield had a daily special for about 9euro and it would be a feat to finish

I don't like black bean. I was looking at a new Indian place. It's 20 euro for just the curry and rice no naan with delivery. Too expensive. I'll have another look later. The Chinese I'd get a starter and main course and side dish with crackers for that price

Grandeeod · 19-04-2021 8:57pm

A home made 6oz Cheese burger with skin on fries, and coleslaw for the craic. Bainne for the wash down!

Donegal Catch fish, potato gratin and steamed samphire. very tasty

That would want to be one super dooper takeaway curry for 20 euro, rice is about a penny a ton.

Indian takeaway food is nice but we don't actually miss it now that we haven't had it for a few months. Chinese food is a different story though, it's way above Indian in terms of flavours and quality. They know how to cook in fairness.

This will be one happy house when I return with our usual Chinese takeaway hopefully someday soon.

Pure rip off. I love Indian though. I ended up having a Polish cheese sandwich. Will see if I get one at all, torturing myself really

Ordered Chinese, very hungry.

That’s crazy expensive for a takeaway, I now have a longing for a Chinese takeaway. I don’t mind black bean but much prefer black pepper sauce or sweet and sour and my local takeaway portions would fill 2 adults and it’s costs €8 for sides and main or rice and mains.

They just opened, basically coining in on the lockdown.
I ordered a starter and main with rice from the Chinese but the one I prefer was closed for some reason.

The Chinese i got was awful. Only the second take away I got this year! I never order from them and won't be again. Really poor effort.

Nothing worse than that when you’re really looking forward to food and it’s horrible

Having a bowl of cereal (Honey Loops) now

Graces7 · 20-04-2021 11:40am

Very off food just now... so managed two hard boiled eggs, still hot and some half cooked carrots.

Two of the cats " ate" every single mouthful of the eggs with their huge HUGE starving eyes!

They had copious raw chicken joints earlier! Before I even had coffee....
