b: be vegan?
c: because I love it

what would you eat every night

Tomorrow night is leftovers Spanish omelette.

But Wednesday's gonna be daal night. And Thurs, if I make enough.

I discovered Dhal on a recent cruise. It's like Bombay potato but nicer. Avoiding the main dining room and ignoring all the lovely food apart from the mash which was also nice I actually lost weight. Yes - it's true I weighed myself when we got home and I weighed less than before I went. Never would I have believed that I could eat 'takeaway' every day and not put on weight. I think I would have lost more if it weren't for the all inclusive alcohol package and nice puddings

After 3 days of curry in a row I can smell it in my armpit sweat. Just satin'

I like the Delicously Ella ‘Butternut squash and lentil dahl” recipe. It’s so tasty although I add lots of fresh coriander to serve which she doesn’t.
If I could eat one thing every day then it would hands down be pasta (as long as I could change the sauce each day to keep things interesting)

Biryani. The spicy one. It's my one food to take on dessert island. Although in the hind sight probably not a good idea.

That is the loveliest story, AuLoin. I do worry that any future new cohabitee might be a bit horrified at the plainness of my current eating habits. (Though I may coax them with my baking. Cakes are the other thing I could eat all day, every day.)

oops sorry. posted soon without editing. No YNBU. Some people really like it. Doesn't it give you wind though?

YANBU. I love daal. I eat a big bowlful of it, just on its own, with a spoon. Yum.

no, can't say i have noticed wind
i think if you eat lentils regularly your body adjusts

Nandos

Fettuccine Alfredo for sure

I eat Dahl for days at a time, then freeze what’s left. I make a flat bread with flour, water, olive oil and salt to eat with it. I don’t use butter in mine and my favourite at the moment has yellow split peas.

Well, many Indians eat dhal for every meal so you are not being unreasonable!!

YANBU - daal for dinner and then leftovers and then when it's low, I chuck a tin of chickpeas on the third day with extra tomato and spices to last another day.

Also replaced as baked beans in the morning with egg and bacon

Do you eat the same daal? Different ones? What recipes? Show us some pictures? I'm impressed!

mashed potato, but not just anyones mash, my mash, with all the yumminess and warm fuzzy (full) feeling it brings, might go wild once a week and add gravy one night, spring onions another, cheese another night, sweetcorn and ham another night, the possibilities are just endless

This is from a series the Guardian did where they try out several versions of a classic recipe and come up with the best one. This is their best dal. dal

It is now my signature dish.

If I didn’t eat dal every night it would probably be thick white bread, butter (thick so you leave bite marks) and peanut butter. I ain’t no clean eater bruv

www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/spinach-sweet-potato-lentil-dhal This is my favourite. Often don't worry about the sweet potato. Never have the thai basil. Still lush.

Yanbu - love lentil dahl.

My own could-eat-every-night meals are:
Beans on cold wholegrain granary toast
Oven baked potato with hummus and roast Mediterranean veg
Any rice dish made with short grain brown rice...I love the stuff. It’s nutty, fluffy and utterly delish.

I’m not a vegan but I like vegan food. Or ‘food’ as I like to think of it. I don’t include meat or dairy in every meal.

I've never eaten Daal. What is it?

You will shart yourself completely inside out like that gibbon from The Fly.

I cook and eat deal a lot, but I need a break. How about Bombay aloo, aloo sag, brinjal bhaji (aubergine curry), tofu masala as well or channa (chickpeas). Variety is good, especially when it feels like your next fart would constitute an act of war on Iceland.

I would have a chip barm every day.

I love daal, but I don't love the painful brewing sensation in my lower gut, accompanied by the sort of bubbling and gurgling sounds you'd usually hear outside a large-scale chemical works. Then, the hours of incredible, voluminous, loud flatulence I'm completely helpless against, with nothing to do but hunker down and wait out the storm, preferably in isolation, until finally the last mournful trump fades away...

For full disclosure, I could live (and often do) off Indian, Chinese, Thai and Korean home cooked. All of them encourage the use of pulses and vegetables.
