Shit dinner thread

Couldn't be asked to cook today. Long day at work and just generally knackered. I thought I did pretty good rustling this up in less than 45 mins (considering I was really close to ordering takeout) but according to DM, it is a 'shit dinner.'

Any other shit dinners to share or does everyone else eat 5* gourmet 7 days a week?

It's " arsed" not " asked". Sorry.

Oh I think that looks lovely! Can't make it all out but veg, potatoes and gravy is all great isn't it

I'm just waiting for my baby (large fully grown child) to fall asleep then going to make crumpets with peanut butter for dinner

That looks nice! I had haggis, neeps and mash, it was shit and reminded why I haven't eaten that meal on burns night for years.

Paddingtonthebear · 25/01/2024 19:44

Quiche, jacket potato and salad 😴

What is Idaho instant mash and is it different from just instant mash?

GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut · 25/01/2024 19:46

Looks nice. It's veg and gravy, yes? What's her problem with it, that there's no meat?

I had a chocolate spread sandwich and a banana Grin

Idahoan is the brand name, It's amazing I highly recommend it.

What are those battered things? Me and DH would eat it apart from those.

sprigatito · 25/01/2024 19:48

I'm having chicken and mushroom soup with a pack of supernoodles thrown in. And Swiss roll.

Looks like chicken dippers to me

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 25/01/2024 19:50

I had Tesco Calorie Controlled sweet n sour chicken.

It was vile.

Waterfallsandrainbows · 25/01/2024 19:50

Ah, after having Bernard Matthew’s Turkey drumsticks so much in my childhood I can’t face anything like that now.

😂 the creme de la creme of freezer tapas - chicken nuggets.

I'm having Quorn nuggs and oven chips. I can't be fucked tonight either

@GrannyAchingsShepherdsHut her problem is with the frozen chicken dippers and Yorkshire puddings. Apparently I needed to have caught and butchered the chicken myself and whipped up a fresh Yorkshire pudding batter from scratch. No issues with the mash though as homemade lol

That looks grand to me, far better than my lazy meals. Last night husband and daughter were both away so I put balls of leftover mashed potatoes in the air fryer, brushed garlic butter on them once they'd gone crispy and ate them dipped in cheese. Your meal is 5* gourmet compared to that!

Stockinggg · 25/01/2024 19:51

Right 🙄

Veg mash and gravy is fine. Chicken dippers and gravy not so much 🤢

CheersToMe · 25/01/2024 19:52

A lovely ripe avocado doused in lime juice and olive oil. And macaroni cheese - the side dish from a Tesco finest dinner deal. And the wine from the dinner deal obviously Wine
And half a Terrys chocolate orange.

I had salmon chucked in the oven no prep apart from drying it off , mash, peas and ready made cauliflower cheese. I mush it all together so it’s like a half deconstructed fish pie and easier to eat in bed (peas are trapped in the mix and can’t escape) as I overdid it at the gym yesterday.

CheeseyOnionPie · 25/01/2024 19:54

Gonna do some porridge in the microwave
