Underrated foods…

[BellyBeGone]

Iceberg lettuce. Love it.
Got a bad rep for being boring. I know it’s less nutritious than other lettuces but it’s so crisp and refreshing!

What’s your underrated food?

Apples. Cheap, store well, and a variety of textures and tastes for every occasion - you can just eat them straight, chop them up, cook them (bleurgh). I like sharp green ones dipped in melted brie, and I love the rough redish ones like cox's or braeburn, Apples are the best.

White cabbage. Keeps a long time in the fridge and is great in salads - much crisper and crunchier than any lettuce. Also v good for coleslaw of course.

Tinned broad beans.

Baby potatoes, roasted in olive oil, salt and pepper - like tiny jacket potatoes.

Toast with butter
Cheese on toast
Toasties

Yep basically any variety of toast

Hate food threads. Never fails to make me hungry 🤣

@louderthan please elaborate

@GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER if you like cabbage you'll love okonomyaki!

Cream crackers, buttered and sandwiched together with peanut butter. Yum!!

Bread and butter.
No, really. Thick sliced tiger bread with nice butter is the food of the gods.

Also, I made a spaghetti Napoli on my day off yesterday. Just good olive oil, skinned vine tomatoes, chopped garlic, a little salt, and plenty of black pepper. Bit of torn basil sprinkled over the top.
It was genuinely the nicest thing I've ever tasted.

Oh, and cheese on toast with a bit of Lea & Perrins on it.

God, I'm ravenous.

Sandwiches, toasted or not, are perfect!

Bread (a hundred types to choose from )
Meat (cold cuts, left overs, fishes, meats BBQed, smoked, brined)
Veg (leaves, thin sliced peppers, cukes, onions, olives, tomatoes, baby radish)
Cheese (another hundred to choose from)
Sauce ( salsa, pesto, peanut butter, salad dressings, mayo, jam, cranberry sauce, comfit, mustards, relishes, BBQ sauce, sub sauce)
Extras (picked vegetables, hummus, boiled eggs, fried onions, potato salad, coleslaw,)

There must be a million different sandwiches to be had.

Yes to toast. ❤️

Beans on Toast. Food of the Gods, I would happily eat this every day.

Iceberg lettuce I like but I can't eat it. Well I could but I'd be on the toilet all day.

Dandelion leaves - the best and cheapest salad [free].

Beetroot
Celeriac
Fresh spinach
Eggs

A good homemade piccalilli or chutney

Sundried tomatoes

Fresh mint

Going with toast as well.

With butter
With cheese
With jam
With sandwich ingredients
With eggs
With an inch of marmite when you've got a migraine

When the thickness of the white bread is right, there is no better food on the planet.

Also agree with iceberg lettuce. Got one the other day, whinged about the cost, but then thought, oh this is really nice.

Defo agree with cheese on toast with Worcestershire sauce, delicious, so easy and tasty. Also Lamb's liver with mashed potatoes, cabbage and gravy (and bacon if there's any knocking about), really cheap but gorgeous.

Liver, briefly fried in butter with sage leaves ~ delicious!
Kidneys, sautéed with a splash of sherry and some cream, served on toast..❤️

I'll be round to eat with you soon Ada!

@xanthippe8 You would enjoy my lambs liver stroganoff!

Sounds divine!

How could we leave out frozen peas ?

Spoon fulls of glorious green spheres packed with vitamins and protein. Ready in minutes, or eat raw.

Make a soup, add to a dinner, chuck in a salad, pea and Parmesan pasta or risotto. Yum.

And fishfingers. In a sandwich, on their own dunked in ketchup or with chips. Or chips and peas.

Oooh.

I don't think I've ever felt this hungry before breakfast time!

Tinned sardines in oil, mashed and mixed with spaghetti.
