TJC1 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 If you had to choose one meal or food to eat everyday for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? Roast dinner for me, lamb ---------- Post added 27-07-2015 at 14:06 ---------- Not fave meal but has a range of ingredients to stave off the boredom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L00b Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Fillet beef, Lorraine potatoes (chips cooked in beef dripping with lardons (bacon bits) under a lid), green beans (sauté'd in garlic), salad (mixed leaves with vinaigrette consisting of balsamic vinegar (1 part), grape seed oil (2 parts), crushed garlic, salt and pepper to taste). Or a pink peppercorn risotto as the healthier(-ish) alternative to potatoes. Glass or two of red (or rosé in summer) to rinse it down. A meal that never fails to restore my optimism in life and all its complications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alcoblog Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Marmite sandwiches for me! Failing that, Fray Bentos steak and onion pie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L00b Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Sounds like a heart attack on a plate but delicious!It's all stuff that's good for you in moderation (a beef fillet serving is usually small, I didn't say half-a-cow ) and all of which can (and should) be cooked from fresh, no E numbers or other food/plant processing (like tinned stuff and Marmite ). Beef dripping is natural, and you only need a little at the bottom of the wok (best pan for cooking Lorraine potatoes), the lardons provide the balance of the fat and the lid keeps the moisture in to stop the potatoes from burning. (you said 'one meal' and, personally, I only eat a full meal once a day: no breakfast, small sandwich + fruit at lunch, no snacks/chocs/sweets other than maybe (rarely) at the weekend). While looking in my fridge at the limp carrot and a half opened tin of Chum my optimism just waned. You're doing it wrong. Think "What would Jamie or Heston do with a limp carrot and a half opened tin of Chum?" and off you go Edited July 27, 2015 by L00b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
