What can I eat?

I’m feeling really lazy, and a bit feeble. I have nothing in, to speak of, but three supermarkets within walking distance; Booths, Aldi and Sainsburys.

What would you eat, given those circumstances?

This is lighthearted; I’m not incapable of thought, just lacking inspiration!

Yes. DH is here, but asleep. I could save him leftovers though.

Cheese on toast. Really underrated meal

Stade197 · 23/11/2025 14:40

I've just had some duck gyozas from aldi with chopped cucumber and hoisin sauce drizzled on top, 2½ minutes in the microwave easy lunch!

IvePiercedMyFootOnASpike · 23/11/2025 14:41

I've just had a really nice cheese omelette, follow by coffee and walnut cake.

I’d go beans on toast or toasted cheesy and cereal later

Pizza place is closed (small town, despite the three supermarkets!)

do you have bread? Cheese or/and beans on toast, spaghetti hoops and toast, scrambled eggs and toast - there’s a theme here!!!

I’ve had eggs today, and I don’t like salmon. If I did/hadn’t, that would’ve been a good shout though!

The million dollar question!!! Why did we all assume there was bread?!

Blueandred1 · 23/11/2025 14:46

Greek yoghurt
granola
raspberries
honey

that’s my go to if just me!

NormasArse · 23/11/2025 14:47

Cheese on toast it is!

I have some toddler beans (grandson’s) so I’m going to put a layer of those under the cheese, and some Henderson’s relish on top 😋.

Exactly what I was going to suggest! A cheese toastie with a bowl of Heinz tomato soup - quick, easy, unbelievably comforting and delicious.

Crank up the thermostat

A jar of Queen butter beans with lemon juice, olive oil, spring onions, cucumber, fresh parsley and black pepper on good sourdough bread. One of my favourite lunches at the moment!

LadyKenya · 23/11/2025 14:50

A cannot be bothered, really quick meal for me, is homemade chips, and a cheese omelette, with a side helping of tomato ketchup.

I am going to take that to work this week- sounds delicious!
