What Are You Eating & Drinking?

[Souleater]

I like Disaronno, but it's not easy to drink more than one glass in a session.

Try disaronno, bourbon and coke, know as a 'Godfather' in cocktail circles.

Equal parts disaronno and bourbon in a highball glass topped up with coke and ice

One of my favourite cocktails

 

[escargot]

Onion bhajis with cheese and onion-topped flatbread and onions/tomatoes/mushrooms in pesto.
Techy also had chicken and chorizo samosas and bacon.

 

[ramonmercado]

Rasher & mushrooms, salad, toasted baguette & sourdough wholemeal bread, coffee, apple & mango juice.

 

[catseye]

Eating instant oats made with water which, after much experimenting, turns out to be the best food to keep me full and energetic for a work shift. Spoiled myself by putting some brown sugar on top.

Pringles. New York style cheeseburger flavoured. Taste like an ashtray...

There is little worse than the taste of a disappointing chip/crisp.

I think I'll stick to sour cream and chives or cheese and onion...

I just ate a nice salad. Made by me. Nothing fancy. Peppers, carrots, cucumber, tomatoes, oilives, mackerel. Some dressing.

Then two apples.

 

[Souleater]

I also had a nice salad sans dressing with some cold cuts and a can of kopperberg passionfruit cider in the sun

Get you mate. Living la vida loca eh!

 

[catseye]

Get you mate. Living la vida loca eh!

La vida local, I hope, too.

 

[Coastaljames]

La vida local, I hope, too.

I'm not in the sun. In a bunker in fact. I don't have cider. And I'm (meant to be) working.

Apart from that tho, always living la vida loca!

 

[Ascalon]

I'm doing a keto type diet at the moment. It is working.

I have just roasted a tray of pecan, brazil, macadamia and hazel nuts.

Yum!

 

[Bad Bungle]

Chocolate orange doughnuts from Morrisons - pack of five for 5p. They're OK, should have bought more.

 

[Mythopoeika]

Pringles. New York style cheeseburger flavoured. Taste like an ashtray...

Sounds authentic.

 

[ChasFink]

Chicken patties, i.e. Jamaican empanadas.

 

[Ogdred Weary]

Longpig.

 

[Lord Lucan]

Longpig.

There's nothing quite like it, or so I've heard.

 

[escargot]

Made Techy what my kids called a Granddad Dinner yesterday - liver, onions and bacon in gravy with onion mash, carrots, peas and cabbage.

(We lost the ancient and much-beloved cat Bagpuss last month. I miss her.

As I'd cook meat for Techy I'd slip Bagpuss sone choice cuts so she always had the best before it ever got near him!)

Is onion mash, potato mash with onions? Sorry to hear about Bagpuss.

 

[Ogdred Weary]

Taste's like shortpig, only with more existential angst.

Aww, thank you, ol' Bagpuss was a character! She was over 20.
She'd had a very bad home at one point so I was happy to spoil her rotten for her last 7 years or so .

Yup, the onion mash is indeed just potato cooked with chopped onion. I love it. Well, I love eating potatoes cooked in any way at all.

You can of course also add grated cheese with mustard or chives and an' all sorts.

I was recently given a short-handled masher which is a wonder to behold. Like a sort of tuber-specific knuckleduster. Works a treat!

I used to be married to that.

You have more ex-husbands than Eliazabeth Taylor and the Wife of Bath.

So, do you boil the onions with the spuds or fry/roast them and add them to the already mashed potatoes? I've done the latter, not the former.

 

[Coastaljames]

Some nuts.

Raspberry tea.

I like to add mustard, cheese and spring onions to mash

Not only have I had more ex-husbands than Elizabeth Taylor and the Wife of Bath (combined) I have also tried every feasible combination of onions/mash. Yesterday I chopped the onion finely and boiled it with the tatties.

Last time, I did the same but steamed it all instead and the onions went purple!

I snap up packs of pre-chopped onions from the supermarket cheapo section because they can go straight in with the spuds and will freeze until I need them.

All this wisdom!

How many of your ex-spouses ended up in the mash?

 

[Coastaljames]

Just had my one caffienated drink of the day...

A cup of black Assam so thick and so stewed the spoon stands up in it

We were married?
