Jesus I haven't had that since I was about 15. My mam and dad always had some in the house. My dad especially drank it with some bread for dipping. It's very hearty drinking

It's like marmite, yeah?

I think it has a place, but, mmm maybe not for me.

Bovril is a complete epic weight loss treat. I used it with Weight Watchers bread many moons ago late at night when I got the munchies. It replaced the Spice Bag!:eek:

Is it? I might pick some up next time. It's very filling for sure. I drink a lot of hot cups, I like my hot drinks

Not interested in cooking at all these days, so probably random bits again.

Random stuff.

But I can recommend the herring in pepper sauce, canned from Lidl, I just added onions and cooked it slowly. Very nice.



I added hazelnuts (Lidl) and more red pepper with the oil from the fish on potatoes, and it was unreal!

Sometimes random food is the best thing when you are hungry.

I'm having a can of Carlsberg. Said I wouldn't drink but going to get an early night hopefully. The drudgery of work continues

It does.
Try to enjoy every moment.

Absolutely S. Bovril is the weight loss fill up friend, I was always a late night feeder due to work and when I had dinner at a normal time, I went with Bovril late at night. It works. That said I eat late at night sometimes, but counter balance it with what I have eaten during the day.

I was 29 and started the WWs plan. I lost 4 stone in 7 months with walking and jogging and meal planning. I'm nearly 50 now and the weight is still off. Can be done.

I already lost 5kg. I'm hoping my doc will chase up my consultants for some med changes to help. I do know people who went to WW and it does work. I don't really eat a lot. Going to pick up some Bovril. I used to love it

Donegal battered cod, it was greasy. I think the Tesco one is nicer and half the price.

It tastes ok to me but each to their own.

Sausage casserole with mash this evening. Onions and mushrooms in the mix. Next time I might add some baked beans on the side. Chocolate brownies for dessert. Simple and damn tasty.

I haven't had that problem myself with Donegal catch. Have you tried the Young's version?

I have yes, it's decent enough. I like the Tesco one best though. I didn't cook it from frozen it had defrosted so maybe that's what happened

That's it alright. As the bag says, best cooked from frozen. Personally I only buy Donegal or Young's. I've tried Aldi and Lidl and didn't rate them. I had to send a search party to look for the fish.:D Never tried the Tesco version.

The Lidl one is ok but I can't 100% remember as I had it a good while back. I think Dunnes have a few good varieties. Now that I think of it the Young's have a salt pepper battered version which is lovely.

A couple of crispy duck legs with gratin potatoes and baked veg. And a bottle of Merlot.

Much prefer the duck legs to the breast or whole duck, way less fat in them.

Yo Rows Grower. I've never had duck legs.

Oh God.

Meanwhile I’ve a new casual fetish for fishfingers (5) with ketchup and either a quiona and kale burgers or a sweet potato and chili ‘ burger’ with properly hot Asian sweet chili sauce. Fresh Pineapple for ‘desert’

Not very grown up but you can lie in bed eating them in the sunshine and not make a mess! Shamelessly quite tasty too. No mess.

Two fried eggs topped with chorizo and oven chips soaked in malt vinegar

And a fried egg topped with kibble for the dog (otherwise I would be hounded while eating my dinner!)

What is this sunshine you speak of?

My go to dish as a kid and sometimes now as an adult is fish fingers mashed with butter and ketchup on buttered breed. Sounds gross but there's something soothing about it.

We used to also make 'spaghetti bolognese' by mixing tins of heinz spaghetti with tins of meatballs. I used to feel so Italian and sophisticated! :-)

My first magic memory of fish fingers was not at home but eating out.:eek: BHS in O'Connell Street, Dublin. It was around 1980, not long after it opened. Second floor if I remember correctly. Fish fingers, beans and chips on a paper plate. Diluted orange with it from a machine. What a treat! The same building houses Penny's these days. The BHS self service restaurant, replaced the Woolworths one for us as it was cheaper. But the Woolworths restaurant on Henry street was a real posh job! (Not really. But when people hadn't a pot to piss in, it seemed like that.):)

I used to mill those tinned meatballs when I was younger :P

I'm not a fan of tinned spaghetti so I never gave them to my own kiddos. The little snobs turn theirs noses up at the thoughts of anyone eating something like that

Nice on days when you are too lazy even to boil pasta - with oregano for added poshness & ‘authentic Italian’ feel!!

For When I used occasionally run out of dogfood I’d have an emergency tin of (HUMAN) Lidl Meatballs in the press. One day I was giving them to dog as a huge treat and they smelt tasty!! tried them heated up - new secret forbidden sin! They were surprisingly tasty! Sssh! Don’t tell anyone! No doubt I’ll grow another hand or ear soon!

I had Fry Bentos meatballs a few days ago. No regrets.

Haha... your secret shame..like Homer eating the flowers
My forbidden sin ended when i read the list of ingredients on the back of the tin. Lets just say for something called meatballs there's very little meat 🀮🀢
I also remember biting into one and the texture was like slimey jelly. Dog food probably has more actual food in it

Then you need to expand your culinary adventures Fathom, they are well worth a try. Just bake in the oven until dark and crispy.

Sorry S. Went offline. Did it resolve itself. Usually restarts automatically.
