To think that simple foods are often forgotten and underrated.

[NotWaitingPatiently]

I don't really eat much sweet stuff but I really fancied something tonight, so I made some pancakes. Took about 15 mins, so quick and cheap. We had them with lemon and sugar....mmmm
Nothing fancy ....but delicious!

What is your simple and underrated favorite?

Home made bread toasted with proper butter.

Jacket potato beans and cheese with a small salad.

Jacket and tuna mayo.

Home made bread, tomato puree, sliced cheese and a bit of onion. Toast under the grill. Like a mini pizza.

Beans on toast.

Leek and potato soup (home made).

Home made jam tarts. My daughter makes these. Or shortbread biscuits. Or fairy cakes.

Sardines on toast (home made bread). I give this to my hungry teenage boy after sport. It’s quick and easy.

Homemade chips (I cook in the oven) with beans and cheese.

Tuna sandwich toasted.

It’s a savoury 99 !

Really strong cheddar, on its own or with crackers. Not much to ask for.

I think I have a salt and pepper problem...

I add raw chopped onion.

As I get older (late fifties) all I want to eat for dinner is meat or fish with potatoes and a load of vegetables . I know it’s considered bland. But I’ve eaten pretty much everything over the years, had various fads, and all I want now is the simple food of my childhood. Meat and two veg. Irish stew. Chicken casserole.

My fav comfort meal is simple beans on toast. You can't beat it.
Also jacket potatoes, and soup with ciabatta bread.

I want scrambled egg and toast now. I think I’ll make that for my lunch tomorrow.

Oooh recipe please? I like treacle just spread on buttered white bread. We are talking black treacle aren’t we? Not golden syrup.

Last night didn't want dinner but about 10 felt peckish, had a bowl of cornflakes, absolutely delicious.

What I wouldn’t give for an eye level gas grill. They made the best toast ever!!

I like marmite and mushrooms on toast

Bacon butty - preferably with avocado & mayo.
It was the first thing I cooked after returning from a holiday in a Muslim country !

Stewed apple and custard or semolina. Can't go wrong with that in your stomach.

Honestly? Cabbage. 60p and it works as a side for DH and I for about 3 meals. Chop and pan fry with oil, salt, pepper and a splash of cider vinegar to deglaze and it’s outrageously tasty.

A fish finger and tartare sauce sandwich...the food of the Gods.

Egg and chips
fish fingers, chips and peas
cheese and potato pie

Husband has twice made me inedible scrambled eggs, once when it was so black because he’d put so much pepper in it, not a normal amount, it was black
And once when he’d added chopped fresh tomatoes, and mixed them in the scrambled eggs raw

I never asked him to make it for me, either time, he wanted to.

Ive never accepted his offer to make it again.
