AIBU to say there is more to hot weather food than salads?

[Beon]

It’s going to be hot next few days.
Just to let you know that there are more foods to eat than just salad and BBQs. Do people in hot countries eat salads and BBQs all the time? No they don’t.

Also you don’t need lettuce to have a salad.

Some nice bread, cooked meats, smoked salmon, jars of pickled veg, cheese, those ready made Spanish omelettes etc.

My ex MIL always cooks her hottest curries in hot weather - god they are fabulous. As is she 😍

Of course some bought from the supermarket, otherwise supermarkets wouldn’t sell them. I was responding to the PP who said ‘it’s how Spanish people buy them’, which seemed to imply that all, or the majority, buy them in the supermarket. Which they may, I don’t know the statistics of shop bought vs home made. I was just saying that in the 20 years I lived there, my experience was that most Spanish people made their own. They’re not particularly difficult nor time consuming (and a gooey home made one is far superior to a rock solid shop bought one!)

I just whatever is quick as I don’t want to be stood near a hot hob for ages if it’s warm weather
We enjoy Fajitas etc as a quick ish meal but there are loads of things we still eat
Mackerel with baby potatoes and salad is a good one
I did make the mistake of buying all the ingredients for a roast dinner on a caravan holiday though and it ended up being 34/35 degrees and it was the final day so I couldn’t bear to throw the stuff away so I cooked it but I was dying off in that tin box with all the hobs and the oven on 🔥🔥 haha so I won’t do a roast dinner often if it’s a hot day now
The caravan next door were enjoying a lovely BBQ haha

Creamy cheese sandwiches - cheese spread, eggs, mustard, spread bread with cream cheese. Whisk mustard with the egg, dip the sandwich in the egg mixture and fry. Have with side salad of spring onion, mint and lettuce. Nice 80s dish 😆

Multi cooker
microwave

I am the same, I never really know what to do with salads but have found quite a few ideas on this thread. There was also some recipes in the summer National Trust magazine sent last week which I have kept to try. They seem simple enough - if they work well I might buy the book.

I was willing to support you until you used those ready-made tortillas in your opening gambit.

I am another person who discovered you can stick the air fryer in the garden to stop your kitchen getting hot though!

And salad cream.
