Photo of your dinner (Vol 3)

Slightly beige but I'm finishing stuff up. Barbecued marinaded chicken, chickpeas with truffle, sweetcorn and garden radishes. Garlic mayo; 'home-made' inasmuch as I added garlic to shop mayo.

You know it’s bad when the dog isn’t even interested, eski

[illmonkey]

How could you stomach 1 and then proceed to eat 3 more. They look… rank.

This is something to do with your feet again, isn't it?

I can't ever imagine being in the supermarket and browsing the tinned meat isle and ever looking at a tin of burgers and thinking yep, they look alright, i can see a meal there, i'll buy them

Whatever floats your boat but they look foul

I think we've hit a new low for this thread. Tinned meat and tinned veg is the sort of thing my grandparents used to eat when postwar food shortages kicked in. In fact, I think I ate better as a poor student.

Surely it takes so little effort to cook some 'fresh' burgers and frozen veg if that's what you really wanted?

While I cannot defend the "burgers" on the plate - I get where Eski is coming from - childhood memories of what we used to have, and a chance to recreate said memories without the disproving tuts from our respective partners .......

Unfortunately - the memories/rose tinted as they are just don't translate into a decent plate of food.

I'm sure we've all got something we ate as a child which if we plated it up now, and shared would be reviled by the majority

ETA - I've very fond memories of tinned peas and mini carrots like the above from my childhood - looking back likely highly sugared/salted hence why I liked them so much. Now I think I'd find them rank. If I remember correctly was a french brand my mum used to buy from Morrisons.

We've all got a quick and easy "cheat" meal stashed away for when feeling lazy and no one's looking; a box of fish fingers in the freezer, an M&S ready meal, or a jar of pesto that I keep for emergencies, but tinned burgers?
They should neither exist, nor be shared.

Very true, I recently spotted Brains faggots in Aldi and gleefully picked up a couple of boxes... how wrong could I be

We ate those a lot as kids. Are they awful? I imagine they are just soft non-descript mush these days

Mrs 48K spent the day at Chatsworth doing "horse stuff" today so I got the chance to indulge myself in the kitchen cooking dinner knowing she would not want a dinner tonight after a day of burger van nonsense.

Starter: scallops on black pudding with minted pea puree and parsley oil



Main: roasted duck breast with confit duck leg bon-bon, mascerated cherries, cherry sauce and toasted almonds

Superb, top presentation and portion size looks good to me. Any desert?

Half the quantities of Milk - and it's not too bad - but definitely not as good as it used t be - likewise - Frozen Strawberry mousse ice creams that came in a long plastic tube/bag with ten of them in it. Loved them as a kid, now ..... major disappointment.
