4/10- just because the chicken doesn’t look like it has any seasoning

NoMoreSocks · 04/05/2026 13:02

Plate 2 4/10
potatoes look nice, I like the sound of the dressing, salad is ok,
but
too many potatoes, I hate eggs, whatever the meat is looks awful, the bread looks naff, why is the dressing at the bottom?

GoodkneeBadKnee · 04/05/2026 13:02

Punishment plate. Looks flavourless and boring. 2/10

BeanMeUp · 04/05/2026 13:04

Seeing as I roasted OP (more than her chicken was), its only fair i present a plate myself.

Taco mince, rice, avocado and salad (dressed with lime juice)

Here’s mine. The base is yoghurt mixed with cottage cheese, lemon juice and ranch seasoning because I’m addicted to savoury yoghurt

Looks much nicer. However your potato cubes look just barely cooked...

ERthree · 04/05/2026 13:07

5/10 but only because i don't eat anything on the bone. the rest looks great. Oh and the actual plate is lovely too

Not sure about the saucy mince with salad... 🤔

EasternStandard · 04/05/2026 13:12

As in pp the boiled looking chicken makes it a low score.

Super noodle sandwich is food of the gods. Chicken flavour, thick white bread, plenty of butter 🤤🤤🤤

Yes, yes, and yes!
Sometimes (only when I’m alone because I’ve been judged for this since childhood and feel weirdly over-defensive about it) I’ll add a small amount of grated cheese.

It’s a pitta bread, and the yoghurt/cottage cheese mix is the base, like Turkish eggs. You mix it and spread it across the base of the plate/bowl

That's what made it appealing to me!

Then again, I love salad with my lasagne too.

That looks really nice. I like doing taco bowls with salad

Plate 3 4/10 looks very colourful and tasty but also dry and the rice on top is an odd presentation
Editing to knock off two marks because mushrooms 🍄‍🟫

SingedSoul · 04/05/2026 13:22

Health - 9.5
Flavour - 4 it needs dressing & all textures are dry.
Chicken - 1 it also needs dressing, preferably in a crispy skin or a spray tan.

Aren’t you supposed to have it on more of a flat vessel then or you’ve got to eat through all that dry salad to get the the bit that makes it not be dry?

BeanMeUp · 04/05/2026 12:32

Did you cook the chicken with a hairdryer?

🤣

Oh it’s not a deep bowl, one forkful reaches the whole lot! It’s a bit deceiving. I tend to eat most stuff out those bowls

9 points - 8 of which for the way you cut the avocado 😆

Actually looks very healthy and tasty.

Mansionscoldandgrey · 04/05/2026 13:32

I was literally just looking at the plate, and wondering if it's Royal Doulton with hand painted periwinkles.....

Char Sui pork fried with onions, peppers and mushrooms. Served with rice

That looks right up my street 10/10!

BunnyLake · 04/05/2026 13:36

Threesloths · 04/05/2026 12:55

The chicken looks like a small bald animal

I was thinking a particularly large new born kangaroo.

SingedSoul · 04/05/2026 13:38

WhatAMarvelousTune · 04/05/2026 12:32

I think if the chicken was chopped up and mixed in with the couscous maybe, it would look more appealing. Plus I think it would be annoying to try and cut the chicken on the plate as it’s quite full.

That's what hands are for

BunnyLake · 04/05/2026 13:41

sporkandfoon · 04/05/2026 12:52

6/10.

Cous cous, beans, and salad look lovely but very dry. Based on those three components I’d have gone for an 7/10.

Sadly, the chicken is really letting you down, it’s medieval-looking to me. At least a little dusting of black pepper would’ve bumped you up to a 7. Crispy, seasoned skin and a ‘wetter’ salad would’ve got you an 8.

I’m in no place to judge though seeing as my lunch was a Super Noodle sandwich…

Edited

I had an instant noodle sandwich yesterday and wondered if I was the only one who did this 😁 they're on par with a good chip butty.

It was meant to be a taco bowl, but the salad got out of hand and didn't fit in the bowl

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 04/05/2026 13:43

I don't eat meat (but you do so I'm not going to say anything mean about the chicken )

I like Cous Cous in principle but it is messy to eat , I'd use a spork .
The salad looks delicious , I'm not a fan of dressings anyway .
I'd do a couple of sliced up Quorn fillets with it

My dinner isn't ready but yesterday I made carrot&coriander soup and a Paul Hollywood recipe focaccia bread which should've had more olive oil but it was delicious .
