What's your "peasant fodder"

[Aragon]

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!)

Macaroni Cheese, or else Pasta, white sauce and tuna.

Bottle of plonk, nice fresh loaf of crusty bread, two or three different stinky cheeses, some fresh peaches (ok - a tub of ice cream) for dessert = very happy woman

Pesto & Pasta
Eggy bread & marmite
fishfinger sarnies BUT IT HAS TO BE WHITE BREAD!

creamed corn toasted sammies
fresh past with arrabiata
creamed rice, once or twice straight from the tin...

chips and gravy sandwiches (has to be real butter) or chips and chinese curry sauce. I wasnt going to say this but..chunky chicken out of a tin

DH loves creamed corn, though have never seen it in the supermarket in this country. Where can I buy it?

Creamed corn - I've managed to get it in Tesco in the past. Look in their tinned veggie section.

Proper northern chippy chips with mushy peas or curry sauce. Has to be northern 'cos they put the chips in a tray, peas/sauce on top and wrap it up. Then it soaks into the chips on the way home so they're nice and soggy, tons of vinegar - yum!

Not quite the same down south, even if they do mushy peas or curry it comes in little pots so no soaking on the way home.

That reminds me, Chips gravy and cheese is one of my favorites.

This thread is making me hungry.

Mine faves are:
Chip butty's
Egg and chips
Spagehtti on taost

Not sure half of these fit into "peasant food" category - in my house they'd be positively gourmet!
My fave peasant nosh is baked spud with a generous covering of cheese sauce. I know, sounds bland and stodgy - well, it is but hits the spot every now and then.

mashed potato, peas and ketchup

Only when no-one's looking

Jacket and beans and cheese.

Pasta and tinned tomatoes and cheese.

Cheese on toast.

Beans on toast.

scrambled egg with cheese and tinned toms!

LOL Rowlers- know what you mean, pasta in our house is GOOD! Not that we eat badly you understand, we don't, but it's not peasant food- peasant food is the three weeks in 1983 I had egg and chips every night coz the bank lost dad's wages and my Uncle had a chicken coup on his smallholding, and they grew potatoes.

I CANNOT do egg and chips now, I can add ham and it's OK though. Dad's the same about Salmon and (don't be ill!) Hedgehogs, as they could get these for free and they were dependant on stealing for food (sixteen kids, disabled Mum, long time ago).

friend of mine got porridge and baked beans (separately I presume!)every day for years, free school meals being the only variation, (BAD childhood) and that's peasant food too!

The rest is comfort food perhaps?

fishfinger sandwiches with lots of vinegar.

Big flat mushroom cooked slowly in butter and then in crusty bread.

Big pan of mash with lots of butter and hot mil in it.

batchelor super noodles

Toast with golden syrup

Cheese and sultana on toast

bubble and squeak

Nota ll at once I hope? [smile}

Mmmmmm! Chips and gravy. Yummy!

Depends on the kind of day I am having!

I have been healthy eating for about foiur or five months and haven't had anything like that for ages. The memories...

Yeah, doing WeightWatchers, good food but oh! for a fishfinger sarnie.

Most of my preggie diet has been comfort also lack of proper cooking facilities my faves are

fish fingers (got to be Birds Eye though)
chip butties
cheese on toast with mayonnaise
potato waffles

love mash sarnies but have to have salad cream mixed in
pasta with olives, anchovies, chillies, lemon juice, olive oil and plenty of black pepper/parmesan
tomatoes done in microwave with splodge of pesto on top, plus squeeze of lemonjuice. dunk with crusty bread
weetabix (late at night with icy cold milk)
thick white toast with lashings of salty butter

I call it my "cowboy dinner"

Browned ground beef with baked beans from a can thrown in, a little extra spice to taste, served with a pan of corn bread.

Crisp sandwiches or
Cheese and onion - chop and boil onion, strain, stir in grated cheese. Eat with bread and butter. (droooool)
