What's your "peasant fodder"

By peasant fodder I mean the stuff that takes very little in the way of preparation and is yummy. It should also lack a certain finesse.

I've just had mine and it's grated cheese and egg salad with mash potato served with generous amounts of salad cream. Mash potato and salad cream - (Homer Simpson like Mmmmmmmmmmmm!)

My dad used to make this for us when we were kids, and I always do it now with left over cooked potatoes - it's a very peasanty indian version of mashed potato, but tastes heavenly

warm up spuds in microwave, or boil them up fresh, crush very roughly with a fork and drizzle over some oil and lemon juice, and sprinkle over some salt and chilli powder - yum yum!!

I've had to stop reading this thread because I have "morning" sickness at the moment and it's all making me heave

Would otherwise all sound yummy, I'm sure.

Big bowl of olives in chilli/garlic oil with hunks of fresh crusty bread to mop up juices
Big blobs of brie (the runnier and smellier the better) sandwiched between pretzels (large plate of these fabulous with (several) large cold glasses of white wine!!!!) Also nice with olives
Peanut butter spread into the hollow of a really crisp stick of celery
Hummus on hunks of warm pitta with olives (are you sensing an olive theme?)
Home-made wholemeal bread toasted and spread with loads of butter (dripping onto your fingers, yum) and honey

I could post on this thread all day!!!!

Definately fried eggs (two and chips) salt vinegar and ketchup and white bread with butter to make any chips not dunked in the egg yolk into a chip butty. Really wish I was having that for tea tonight!

Have to say that you are all giving me fabulous suggestions here. Makes my mash and salad cream sound tame.
