How many people does one standard garlic baguette serve in your house?

[PLAYJAJADINGDONG]

As a side with pasta dish.

Just that 🙂

Can soup be a meal if I'm feeling rushed and it's served with a nice crusty loaf and lashings of butter? DH used to play rugby but is only 6'2 DS is nearly 6'4 but doesn't do any sport (or eat vegetables)

1 for 4 people- 2 adults, 2 children

Only if you've grown and milled the wheat yourself and made your own bread.

Of course you must keep a cow and your kids must love the task of milking it, you've churned it and made your own butter with salt crystal's your dh distilled from the sea himself.

It goes without saying that you've grown all the soup ingredients yourselves and those that make up the soup are the odds and ends that are leftover in your fridge.

Remember to chuck a crusty old parmesan rind (homemade, of course) in too.

And don't forget the 50g of meat per person!

Oh all that goes without saying... :o

Make sure you keep it on the go for a week by continuously adding to it.

Apparently a tin of baked beans is good for this.

Will the baguette be served with a Mumsnet chicken? If so, then it'll serve 4, with leftovers for the rest of the week. HTH

Don't forget to make stock out if the leftover crumbs. That will give you another 2 meals at least.

emmur good thinking - also what about this - if this shop bought garlic bread had some finely chopped parsley in the butter perhaps that could be picked out and put to one side for a ‘winter salad’, ‘if liked’. ?

We do do a bastardised pan con tomato though, had it in a fab little place in Barcelona; slice of sourdough, toasted, rubbed with garlic and then rubbed with ripest tomato one could find. Perfect with jamon serrano and a glass of rosado.

Now this sounds wanky.

Wanky but delicious.

I can imagine the poster saying it with a "tinkly little laugh".

@emmathedilemma
Fuck the tinkly little laugh, have tried but can't muster.
Was so tasty though, remember like it was yesterday; mildly sloshed, feeling all loved up and resting poor feet after a massive shopping spree. Was a great day.

Now here's a bit of wankery for all to savour: planning to 'whip up' a minestrone'sque soup using, yes, really, most of home-grown stuff .
Borlotti beans, tomatoes( roasted and preserved last September), french beans, leeks, shallots, carrots.

Beat that! [hollow laugh]

Shoot, was supposed to be @EmmaGrundyForPM

My DD would live off carbs given half the chance. However she is such a slow eater, we joke that the food has gone off by the time shes finished dinner. I'd never describe it as stuffing herself.

Slow eaters tend not to be fat.

Lol tell my body that.
