I'd be really grateful if you lot would critique our dinner tonight, to see how healthy/nutritious it is.

Each plate had:

55g rump steak
2 X baby potatoes roasted in olive oil
1/4 pink onion, roasted with pots
60g champignons, sautéed in butter
130g mixed salad
10g crispy noodles (on salad)
Approx 3tbsp mustard gravy, made with steak juices, tbsp wholegrain mustard, and a few gravy granules

Industrial granules, so huge each granule had to be transported in in a wheelbarrow Grin but yet all the actual food is so tiny that it is dwarfed by a teaspoon.

Nice to see that the great Mumsnet fear of double carbs is alive and well, because anyone stuffing them selves with those two baby potatoes and sprinkling of noodles is on a fast track to obesity and diabetes.

BreconBeBuggered · 29/06/2016 13:16

Ah, now OP's potatoes are about the diameter of the bracelet sitting on my desk, and probably fine. Mine are the teaspoon ones sentences self to two tiny potatoes for unpardonable typo upthread

Potato need to get kale's publicist on the case and improves its public image.

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/06/2016 13:20

This thread is really showing us the dynamism of the humble teaspoon. Shine on teaspoon!

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 29/06/2016 13:23

Feeling a bit ridiculous now, but here are some of my baby pots.

Oh that's one to add on the 'I have never' thread. I have never eaten steak, and I hate mushrooms. Your meal is not to my taste!

SestraClone · 29/06/2016 13:27

Invisible Australian baby potatoes.

Feckinlego · 29/06/2016 13:30

I'm finding this thread hilarious Grin

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/06/2016 13:30

I'd say those invisible potatoes would be quite low carb Grin

KoalaDownUnder · 29/06/2016 13:31

You've never eaten a steak?! Wut?

Are you a vegetarian?

MoonfaceAndSilky · 29/06/2016 13:31

So bloody small you can't see them Grin

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 29/06/2016 13:36

Neither of those posts has pictures.

SpaceUnicorn · 29/06/2016 13:39

I think it's a glitch - I tried several times to upload my own teaspoon measure my picture but it wouldn't work Sad

MitzyLeFrouf · 29/06/2016 13:40

OP you are toying us. Promising us photos of potatoey delights but delivering nothing!

GoudyStout · 29/06/2016 13:53

Can you get teaspoon shaped potatoes? That would make comparisons a lot easier.

WunWun · 29/06/2016 13:57

I don't think it sounds small at all! Just normal sized.

SantanaBinLorry · 29/06/2016 14:57

Awww, I like the look of the diddy one. Ill have 75 portions please Grin

HermioneJeanGranger · 29/06/2016 15:20

This thread has made me REALLY hungry!

FeckinCrutches · 29/06/2016 15:20

Baby potatoes here are about 2.5" long and 1.5" wide, as I think they probably are everywhere.
But that's just a normal potato Grin what size are your normal ones?

please critique our dinner
KoalaDownUnder · 29/06/2016 15:26

OP, are you maybe confusing baby potatoes and new potatoes? Wink
