As the title says!

You can only eat 3 meals on repeat (dinner only) for the rest of your life what would they be?

Mine would be a roast, peanut vegetable noodle stir fry and mushroom risotto.

I Tried taking into consideration cost and health to an extent🤣

My homemade lasagne with chorizo. A roast dinner with all the trimmings, roasties, stuffing, Yorkshire puds and homemade gravy. And a good proper fry up including hash browns.

DinosApple · 22/11/2022 00:13

Egg & veg curry, lentil rice and raita, plus chapattis.

Bangers, mash, peas and gravy.

Roast chicken, Yorkshire's, roast spuds etc.

If I had to cook it every day rather than someone else presenting me with the food, I'd probably drop the roast for something much quicker.

Poached eggs on toast, greek salad, veg thali

In this weird only 3 dinners for the rest of your life thing, do we also not put on weight?! In that case, for 6 days of the week I'd switch between:

My homemade Shrimp(King Prawn) Parm with linguine and salad and Seafood Pan Fried Noodle from a really lovely Chinese restaurant near me.

Then on the 7th day, I'd have the house burger with avocado and burrata with seasoned fries from my local bar.
