Weird Solo Meals?

[NotQuiteCockney]

I can't seem to bring myself to cook for just myself. So I eat weird leftover things.

Today's (early) lunch: cottage cheese and homemade spicy ratatouille. Eaten cold. Yum.

What weird things does everyone else eat?

Ah well

we all stand reunited in our love for peanut butter

PMSL Gilliam McPoo

And I must take this chance to mention for the second time in one night the Whopping jars of Neal's Yard peanut butter. I think i lived off it with bread and tomatoes for about a year...

Peanut butter and sultanas/raisins on toast is mmmmmm.

My children love the flecky dark brown peanut butter from the wholefood shop, ds1 calls it "sprouting peanut butter". He was so intrigued by the Biosnacky sprouter I gave dh for his birthday, anything wholefoody/lentilly is referred to as "sprouting" now...we had "sprouting carrot soup" yesterday .

How very Gillian McPoo...

I wouldn't claim the English diet is more crap than the Canadian one, that's for sure.

Oh, and someone else said "Gillian McPoo" first, before anyone gives me credit for that one.

Yeah, I dust off the sprouter about once a month and use it to sprout mung beans (delicious) for about 3 days then it gets relegated to the back of the cupboard again. I think most of us 'revert to type' a bit when it comes to meal prep although I try to introduce new foods and dishes as regularly as poss.
I think Gilly McWhatever's diet is fantastic but I do find such massive quantities of veggies and fruit a bit pricey - now, that's a Q - do us poor carboholic Brits pay more for fruit n' veg than other countries I wonder...?

Pickled herring or roll mops for breakfast and for my own special treat - first thing I unpack from the supermarket, prefer it to any chocolate or cake.

and chillies on their own....have to be in the right mood.

But someone, PLEASE explain, why is garlic bread served with pizza? I do not understand.

sausages and marmalade are a match made in heaven

Hi, Im new to this site but was just searching to see if anyone had 'unusual' food combos like me............just got rid of my DH and 2 DS's for the day - been to the supermarket and cupboards are full of lovely nice food and what do i have for lunch?????? A tin of mushy peas, pickles, brown sauce and cream crackers........

Y'know, lasagne and chips (and/or garlic bread) makes sense. There's hardly any actual pasta in lasagne, just some very thing layers. If I make a lasagne for 4 people it doesn't have much more pasta in it than I would do if I was having a bowl of spaghetti just for me.

[spaghetti fiend emoticon]

YOu can tell this is an old thread - "i think our obsession with chips.. or my obsession is they are hot, quick, and costs on average of a pound" - it's more than that around here!

I know someone who loves peanut butter and cucumber - that's weird right?

If I'm cooking for myself I nearly always make chilli because DP won't eat it.

niblondie that is weird!! you weirdo

Do you buy lovely nice things and then feel guilty about eating them yourself, as if you are depriving everyone else of the niceness?

I had one of these days yesterday. Dh is away and I have severe PMT. Couldn't be arsed to cook healthy emal for self so ate:

Breakfast - enormous bowl of rice crispies (havent eaten them sine I was about 8 yrs old)

Lunch - leftover pizza with onion rings

Afternoon - cold veg stirfry leftovers, followed by choccie bics and tea

Dinner - cheese on toast, more rice cripsies

I mean, FGS. It's like the diet of a particularly gluttonous student.
