Fish and chips washed down with Prosecco. Such a rare and wonderful treat that we've wanted for weeks and months!

Chicken risotto with basil and Parmesan 🇮🇹

When i was a student we went to Spud u like and had jacket potato with egg mayonnaise as filling. There was grated cheese mixed in . Delicious

That sounds delicious!

Home made garlic and parmesan chicken tenders with seasoned fries and ranch dip 😋. Probably some Jude’s cherry swirl ice cream 🍦

LittleGreenDuck · 27/05/2026 20:55

I don’t know. Stop asking and make yourself some toast.

Fresh fried mackerel fillets with beetroot salad and sweet potatoes fries. Was delicious and summery.

I love egg mayonnaise and I love jacket potatoes but I can’t see how they go together.

I’m going to have to try it now 😁

Jshkag · 27/05/2026 22:28

Egg mayo on a jacket is lovely, particularly with crumbled crispy bacon on top

Cookingandfoldingthings · 27/05/2026 22:58

Rhubarb crumble & custard.
Marmite cheesey puffs.
(I’m on my own tonight.)

Steak and salad last night.

Something with butternut squash tonight as I have some already cutted up. Possibly a baked rice dish I saw in the Latest Vegan magazine which has coconut milk and curry in it with roasted butternut squash. Looked fantastic.

MadForArt · 28/05/2026 12:49

Changed mind, but only slightly. I make a really good (if i say so myself) red lentil dhal. So that with rice, soy yoghurt and mango chutney. I will have roasted butternut squash on the side and the DCs will have some butternut squash in their hidden vegetable pasta sauce and meatballs. I know it's quite warm, but I can't think of anything I really can be bothered to sort out other than that.

Belladog1 · 28/05/2026 12:53

Breaded chicken wraps tonight with loads of salad and a good dollop of sweet chilli sauce.

DilemmaDelilah · 28/05/2026 15:30

@FridgeJenga @gatorlizzie @youalright we have cutted up apples a lot in this house. And I'm going to have cutted up melon and strawberries after my meal this evening.

I'm having a Sainsbury's cottage pie with green beans and carrots, which should come to around 400 calories. Then the fruit.

DH will be having a steak pie with mash and peas, probably, followed by grapes. And maybe some crackers and cheese.

FridgeJenga · 28/05/2026 16:06

@DilemmaDelilah I've just had cutted up mango 😁

DH is making pizzas for the DCs, I'm not sure if I'll be hungry so will keep an eye on this thread for inspiration!

Bread & salmon - and a fruitsalad.

BoarBrush · 28/05/2026 16:57

Dh is making haggis (autocorrected from shagging, couldn't be doing with that the now) and cheese bake thingies from the butcher with mash carrots and broccoli. I think I'd rather have a beer in the garden though! Will have a beer for pudding

Deenak · 28/05/2026 17:32

No cutted up watermelon here 'cos no melons in the supermarket. I am jealous of your watermelonfulness.

We're having taco bowls, but with potatoes as a base because the new potatoes need eating.

youalright · 28/05/2026 17:41

Quiche and salad

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 28/05/2026 17:43

Mediterranean gnocchi vegetable bake (batch lady)

PickAChew · 28/05/2026 17:44

Chicken Tikka Masala with new potatoes (much better than rice!) roasted asparagus and onion bhajis. Looking forward to it.

Mydogisagentleman · 28/05/2026 17:49

Whatever we can find. We've come up to seville - roasting 43 degrees from our relatively cool seaside town to collect a friend from the airport. He arrives at 23.30 and we booked a hotel.
Unfortunately, me and dog went to spy out food. We ok for tyre repairs and new cars. Looking sick for food. Might eat at the airport.
I am so jealous reading some things people are eating.

ohyesido · 28/05/2026 17:53

My favourite, pork belly strips with sweet potato mash and green beans

DeltaVariant · 28/05/2026 17:53

Steak and chips
