To think this wasn't a "crap tea"

[GColdtimer]

I had my dn today, sil has just picked her up and I told her what we had for tea. Her response was "oh she likes crap teas like that, not like our proper food"

I served (all homemade) cornflake chicken goujons, potato wedges, baby sweet corn, green beans and broccoli. Fruit and yoghurt for pudding.

I thought it was quite healthy.

Boomer my children like couscous

OP - your SIL is a loon. That tea sounds lovely, I will give that cornflake chicken a go with my two!

I don't know if she meant to be rude. We call stuff crap teas when they are things like fish fingers or burgers even if we made them ourselves. It's a oft over from our childhood when you had 'posh' teas when guests came and then crap teas when you were in your own...

Although might be that she's just a cowbag like. Is she normally rude?

It's not "crap" at all, perfectly healthy. Just not pretentious! :)

It sounds perfectly nutritious to me - although cornflake chicken sounds bloody revolting if you don't mind me saying.

Haven't read the whole thread, sorry, but she was being a tit and it wasn't a crap tea. I'd be more than happy to eat it!

Next time you make cork flake chicken, try using crushed Ritz crackers insead. Too salty for very little people, but very delicious- particularly dipped in tartar sauce.

Mmmm what a delicious sounding recipe seeker. I shall do that :)

At home with my parents, we used to have a saying when there wasn't much in the house to cook that we'd just have some 'shit with egg on'

Also, I used to buy those all day breakfast cans and refer to it as a 'can of crap' because I knew it wasn't full of wholesome goodness but I still liked it.

There are some things that are beyond the pale, though. Cheap chicken nuggets are GREY inside when they're cooked. Well the last ones I got were anyway. I couldn't eat them.

That's a masterclass in backhanded compliments, the rude cow!

:o at "cork flake"

My two had spaghetti hoops on jacket potatoes last night, they loved it
