There's only one of me so I cut it in half but I'd not have it with a pasta dish, too much. Chips and spaghetti hoops - yes please, pasta and garlic bread, no thanks.

What's a winter salad ? Genuinely never heard of a winter salad oops and my lurpak is that good or bad ConfusedGrin

HeronLanyon · 27/01/2021 18:44

I have not ever heard of a winter salad - is it a form of Russian salad ? Grin
It makes sense if eating seasonally and not from all over the globe. Not too much in a winter salad I’d fear. Cabbage carrots some winter greens sprouts early wild garlic not the most inspired.

Oh is a greedy bastard!

I've just uncharacteristically policed the consumption of a garlic flatbread thanks to this thread.

I've included a diagram for your entertainment to show how distribution went...

4 people

Me - 42 32
DH - 44 (today)
DS1 - 8
DS2 - 3

As you can see from my diagram it was fairly even except DS2 (who is still unsold on the whole garlic bread concept) licked his bit and then dropped the rest on the floor. I have no idea if it's final fate if I'm honest.

The one remaining slice was then fairly evenly voted to be the birthday slice so DH snuffled that.

In terms of menu it was served alongside a spaghetti Bolognese and a fairly mediocre salad

It was also accompanied by champagne due to it being DH birthday today but to balance out the universe we had Vienetta for dessert Grin

Just the one person. Which would be my good self.

Same4Walls · 27/01/2021 19:21

Been following for a while I'm a greedy pig who could inhale the whole thing but at present 1 is most commonly shared between 2 adults and a toddler split 4/4/1.

For those saying 5 people or more I'm extremely curious as to how you are splitting it, assuming the vast majority of baguettes have 9 pieces??

maddiemookins16mum · 27/01/2021 19:30
  1. We don’t eat the ends either 🤣.

Can’t believe one can feed a family of 5 (why even bother).

I love that your diagram even says licked.
elmfield4 · 27/01/2021 19:35

2 but I tend to leave the end piece Grin

Spacecudet · 27/01/2021 19:45

We do one for the 5 of us.

Same4Walls · 27/01/2021 19:47

@Spacecudet

We do one for the 5 of us.
Just out of curiosity how many pieces do these 5 people eat and how many are children?
goose1964 · 27/01/2021 19:48

When we have it 2. I don't eat it so it's just the piglets

ktp100 · 27/01/2021 20:04

There are only 3 of us but I'd say a serving is 2 slices so that's what me & DS have and DH hoovers up the rest.

I wouldn't buy 2 if there were 4 of us though.

Seriously1996 · 27/01/2021 20:07

Just want to mention. I buy the lurpack garlic butter from Tesco . It costs around £1.30

Dinosauraddict · 27/01/2021 20:11

My husband and I can polish off a garlic bread between us, but now we have DS, we'd share a slice with him too.

EmmaGrundyForPM · 27/01/2021 20:12

2 or 3. Unless DS is home from uni in which case he will eat a whole one by himself.
