Probably Water Buffalo.

Don't care. Will eat it. Where can I buy it? Gimme, gimme!

I've seen bison on the menu in Tayto Park. Didn't try it but food is actually quite alright there. I know a couple who purchased an annual pass there just to have regular Sunday lunch in the restaurant.

Had Indian takeaway last night, and it was the best I've had in a long long time. Onion bhaji, sheesh kebab to start. Main was lamb bhuna and chicken jalfrezi. I had them with cheese naan, himself with rice. Was so good I still think about it this morning.

Where did you order from?

Tonight we will have rib eye steaks, spinach, peas, steamed (or boiled, not sure yet).

Got the rib-eye's in Dunnes, interested to see what they are like compared to the ones from Aldi. Gave up buying the steak in the butchers as the one in Aldi is far nicer and prices are similar anyway.

Mrs Fox

Chook + salad.

homemadecider

Pan fried ling fillets, pesto & sour cream sauce, big pile of greens (leek, courgette, spinach).

Tilly

Stir fried chicken (lots of chillis) on broccoli and cauliflower mash. Tasted way better than it looked

herisson

Meatball con carne With garlic and chilli roasties, green beans and broccoli

ibarelycare

Beef and veg stir fry with soy sauce and honey.

Fried off chilli and garlic first and the heat was too high...smoke went up my nose and I feel like my nostrils are on fire

Roast chicken, stuffing, veg, roasties - with the wind and rain it's a great evening for a big dinner. There's some crumble pie left from last night too

Merkin

Rib eye steaks with baked potato and a big blue cheese salad, lovely!

Hope ye don't mind me joining in. I've been reading for months and drooling over your delicious looking dinners.

Today I had steak, buttery mash and gravy. Simple but amazing. No picture unfortunately.

Just had Donegal Catch Plaice with roasted peppers, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and garlic.

I've never had plaice before and I know nothing beats fresh fish, but for a first taste, I really liked it.

The veg was gorgeous; I lay out chunks of red, green and yellow pepper in a tray with halved tomatoes, garlic cloves, baby spuds and seasoned with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, bay leaves, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and a sprinkle of Cajun seasoning.

Last night we had oven-baked Aldi Angus burgers, with roasted sweet potato chunks, roasted tomato, fried onions and mushrooms, and a wee side salad of cherry toms, cucumber, olives, pickles, and peppers with a lemon juice, olive oil and s&p dressing (vinaigrette?). And a glass of the lovely Montepulciano from Aldi.

Highly recommend those Angus burgers from Aldi!

A whopper meal sitting in the car. First time driving myself through a drive through! It turns out I really enjoy eating junk food sitting in the car and listening to podcasts. Goody. Was looking for a new hobby

Total bliss, isn't it? I need to rekindle my affair with the drive thrus one of these cheat days.

It was so nice Mrs Fox! I couldn't get over how much fun I was having in, basically, an industrial estate car park. Just afraid I'll be graduating from whopper meals to entire buckets of chicken by myself in the car very quickly

Those burgers are delicious and they've got 99% beef too.
Really tasty!

Are these the burgers from Aldi?

https://www.aldi.ie/en/product-range/meat/beef/products-detail-page/ps/p/irish-angus-burgers/

Might pick some up when I'm there next. I love burgers but am so lazy when it comes to making my own so I nearly always buy them from the butchers. Laziness, pure laziness!

iwantmydinner

They're the ones! V tasty. I baked them just past pink in the middle. I like burgers pink from nice restaurants, not so hot on cooking them that way myself.

bigronnie9

made fish last night, plaice coated in flour/salt/pepper/small bit of paprika, fried in a pan and served with broccoli, carrots and a simple white sauce.

Lovely and light dinner after an unhealthy weekend, plaice fillets were exceptionally big too!

marklazarcovic

i get them burgers too, i put cling film over em and roll a jar on them to flatten them out ,season and double up the burger

Mrs Fox

Ah here. I was in Aldi grabbing a pack of lamb mince, planning on making lamb burger. But of course I was heavily influenced by this forum so I HAD to get the Angus burger, and I HAD to get the brioche buns. I'm looking forward to dinner already.
