What have you had for dinner

[Deleted member 221031]

Soft flatbread with peanut butter, Marmite and a soupçon of mayonnaise.

Really ? I might try it!

 

[securespark]

Really ?

Mais oui!

I'm in the mood for chicken tonight. In a risotto, mixed with a half pint of mushroom and vegetable stock, add a tin of chopped tomatoes one spoon at a time, a dash of black pepper and a shake of sea salt, a blizzard of tarragon for taste, then oregano for the hell of it. Oh yeah, and a tsp of my secret ingredient: homemade apple chutney for zing! Stir, stir, and stir again til the buggr bubbles with glee. Twenty minutes. Done. Tuck in.

Working late over the allotment tonight so Mrs Mottie made her dinner and left mine to be cooked when I got in. Shepherds pie & greens. I CBA to plate it up, just added the greens and gravy to the pie dish.

Mrs Mottie is on late childminding duties so it’s pie 'n' Chips for me. No plate. No cutlery. Brown sauce. Hot meat and sauce down my shirt. £6.80 which I thought was a bit expensive.

That’s a bit steep for pie and chips!

I had to pay on my phone - I literally only had a fiver and a few coins in my pocket. I’d expect a small fish 'n' chips for that price.

That's a what, 50p pie with 10p's worth of fried potatoe.

Oh you poor thing, & I thought that you projected an image that food was important to you.

You certainly don’t. It’s a one-off. Not my 'staple' diet.

…pitta bread pizza & KFC style chicken is now my staple diet.

Just been out on the lash with some mates, then into the local Indian for a very late dinner. Channa massala, keema rice and keema naan, and a few Cobras, should see me through until the greasy spoon in the morning.

To be fair, a pie and chips and one of the best award winning chippies in Lancs (went there a couple of days ago) is 5.50.

I bought a bag of chips in a Chinese carry out last week, it was £2.90. £2fkn90!

I'll see your £2.90 and raise you £1.05. £3.95 for regular chips, £5.50 for a large portion!

This is their menu - don’t know if it’s more expensive online but look at the price of chips. Looks like I was undercharged - my pie and chips should have been £8.80! Maybe they do a smaller portion with a pie? Usually when we have fish & chips from here, one regular portion of chips is too much for Mrs Mottie and I to share - I definitely had a smaller portion last night. I'm up at 4.00am 'cos I’m hungry!

We ate in at that place in Lancs the other day, and the price they quoted on the menu was for unlimited chips.

These prices are last year's. The large haddock and unlimited chips I had was £11.00

£3.95 for regular chips

In the name of the wee man . It used to be 3d.
