What can I eat that takes virtually no prep but is delicious?

SleepingIsOverrated · 20/05/2019 20:38

I have a DP free evening and the different routine means I've forgotten to feed myself... despite being the person who usually thinks about food constantly.

I need something now, but don't want to spend more than 5 mins preparing it and i want it to be utterly delicious. AIBU to think that this isn't possible? Help me, wise MNetters Grin

Pick up the phone. Order Chinese.

Ooh yum yes second apple and cheese.

CatSmize · 20/05/2019 20:40

I'd do something on toast. Maybe avocado, feta, tomato and turkey...

LeukaeLucky · 20/05/2019 20:40

A nice omelette
Tomatoes and mozzarella
Greek salad?

Singlenotsingle · 20/05/2019 20:41

Mashed avocado on toast

redbedheadd · 20/05/2019 20:41

Baked Camembert with nice bread ?

Scrambled egg on toast with bacon

Pasta with butter, grated cheddar and parmesan, oregano and black pepper? It was a store cupboard favourite in my youth when dying of a hangover. Alternatively, treat yourself to a good takeaway!

buckeejit · 20/05/2019 20:41

Boiled egg & toast-nice salt & butter. Mmmmmm

LtGreggs · 20/05/2019 20:41

Cereal with ice cold milk

Sexnotgender · 20/05/2019 20:42

Halloumi, avocado and bacon wrap.

With wine.

Sarahlou63 · 20/05/2019 20:42

Pancake stuffed with cheese, ham and spinach. Yum.

Takeaway

FurryTurnipHead · 20/05/2019 20:42

Beans on toast with loads of butter and grated cheese. Best meal ever.

I just had a quick 5 minuter too! Apple and cheese, Asda protein pot herb chicken and Mexican slaw. Fucking delightful

Camembert is an all time fave but I don't have one.... currently a toss up between Apple and cheese and calling the Chinese (and pretending it wasn't me that called them with a particularly similar order 2 days ago...)

Ham, cheese, spinach and chive omelette. Would take around 10 mins from start to finish. Big dollop of mustard.

@Strawberrypancakes I already have the wine, I think this is why I'm so desperate to eat but so reluctant to cook Hmm

Most of the things already listed, especially the baked camembert, but possibly not the baked potato.

I find that drizzling extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper on ordinary savoury things like salad, bread, cheese, hummus, avocado etc.. makes them instantly extra delicious.
