To ask if you eat meals you'd never feed to guests but love?

[Exhausted4ever]

So, I adore this meal which is (very) broadly speaking a sausage cassorole, but is just sliced cooked Sausages and baked beans, mixed with gravy topped with sliced boiled potatoes with a bit of thicker gravy on top of them and cooked in thr oven for at least half an hour. It's soooooo good, proper comfort food. But I would never serve it to guests! Do you eat things you'd be too embarrassed to serve to guests but really like it yourself?

Eggy bread

Baked potato with half a bag of grated cheese ,loads of black pepper and cherry tomatoes.

Kraft cheesy pasta with a loaf of bread & butter

Pasta, boiled and drained. Return it to the dry pot (with the heat still on) and stir in pine nuts or chopped walnuts + crumbled feta or grated hard cheese + chopped green olives or quartered cherry tomatoes. And possibly a few leaves (I like basil or baby spinach or radicchio). Let it heat through and the leaves wilt. Add a squirt of balsamic vinegar if you like. I sometimes do it with garbanzo beans, cheddar cubes, curry powder (and optional yoghourt) too, which is probably even less guest-friendly. Looks messy but tastes rich.

Impromptu “Buddha bowl” of whatever fresh veggies I have, cubed and zapped in water in the microwave (or quick stir-fried) and served over one of those microwaveable packages of rice. Add a dash of soy sauce and/or a few spoonfuls of hummus.

Polenta - the soft kind, in a bowl - with a little butter and ricotta or a spoonful of pesto or tomato sauce.

Curry flavour pot noodles with the water drained out and coconut milk added. Add chopped peppers, shredded carrots, and/or peanuts or cashews if they’re handy and you're in less of a hurry.

Philadelphia?

On dark chocolate digestives?

Tell me more . . . .

I'm ashamed to say I have never grown out of Heinz beans with mini sausages in. Also partial to a Fray Bentos pie.

Fettucine with cream packet sauce, broccoli, onion & heaps of garlic. Tuna tinned too mixed in. I'd serve it pretty but I get it all over my face and body, if i served it to guests would need a hose down. Also not many people i know don't approve of tinned tuna- or the smell. :)
@4amWitchingHour yum!
@actiongirl1978 luv!

Pasta, boil in the bag fish, peas and sweet corn all boiled in one saucepan and topped with cheese and white pepper. Delicious

Bacon and egg fried rice. I eat this on evenings my husband isn't here and I wouldn't serve it to guests but it's my little dinner for one. Gives me terrible wind though, so probably just as well! 😂 I've been cooking it since I was a teenager and lived with my parents.

all of them.

One of my many lentil/chickpea curries. I can't say I love them though. It's just an attempt at being healthy.

Stagg tinned chilli

[quote Etinox]@Exhausted4ever a stew made with leftovers.
Not pretty but delicious[/quote]
We love stovies so much we don’t wait for leftovers.
Layers of sausages, sliced onion, sliced potatoes. Covered in stock and simmered on hob until cooked, usually about 40 minutes.
I have no idea why it is so utterly delicious.
It is a cheap meal and can be adapted by adding anything in.

Pasta, tinned tuna and cheese. Simple and scrummy.

A microwaved macaroni pie with a good dollop of ketchup on top, mmmm.

Also love how so many of these favourites are born from parents scraping a meal together when skint/struggling. Makes me feel better about my 'bad meal' days!

Pasta, pine nuts, olive oil, Parmesan, black pepper, rocket. Stir it up until the rocket wilts, apply to hole in face.

Fry frozen onion, frozen peas, lazy chilli, garlic and ginger, whatever wilted veg is populating the salad drawer (mushrooms, peppers), prawns if you e got them. Sling in a packet of Tilda microwave rice, break an egg into it, stir fry until egg is cooked, souse the lot in soy sauce, scoff.

Pasta, sliced raw mushrooms, cold tinned sweetcorn, mayonnaise, black pepper.

Sweetcorn straight out of the tin.

Spaghetti, baked beans, grilled cheese on top.

Macaroni with plenty of butter and ketchup mixed into it, topped with a fried egg if I can be bothered. It is my ultimate comfort food when I am ill. I would not even serve it to my DP though...

Sounds like a very convenient and personal portion of a rearranged chocolate cheesecake.

tinned meatballs with mushrooms, courgettws and carrots and a good teaspoon of chilli powder simmered together and served with couscous.

It's delicious.
