Food You Wouldn't Serve To Anyone Else

[sherrardk]

One and then I make myself one of my favourite meals but I wouldn't dare serve it to anyone else (I call it hammy-cheesey-mushroom mess - it looks vile but tastes lush). Do you have anything that you make for yourself but wouldn't serve to anyone else?

Fish Fingers in Pitta Bread with sweet chilli sauce.

Looks like a car crash, tastes divine :+)

[EcclesCake]

Cheese, beetroot and salad cream sandwich. Particularly good with a few crisps added for extra crunch.

>>>I call it hammy-cheesey-mushroom mess

That sounds like my type of meal, Sherrardk! When can I come round?

A lot of my snack meals are quite tasty but I wouldn't necessarily serve them to anyone else. For example, a can of supermarket own-brand Ravioli Cheese heated with slices of Matteson's Smoked Pork Sausage (from Poundland!) in it, poured over a couple of slices of thick toast is something I quite like.

I am with Chris, Sherrardk ... sounds fab.

I'm a bit reluctant to serve anything that I've made to other people. It's just not fair on them.

I sometimes get chips from the chip shop and tip them into a bowl of tomato soup.

[Arksided]

A charcoal-led drunken fry up, Sausage , bacon eggs, mushrooms nothing can hide in my fridge.

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

sprouts, butter, thick gravy and black pepper in a bowl.

Maybe a yorkie pud on top.

Recipe for Buenchico and echokilo,

Two eggs and a splash of milk beaten together
Add to hot frying pan with a bit of butter in
Lob in a box grater full of cheese, two handfuls of badly chopped mushrooms and some (depending upon how much you have got) chopped up, wafer-thin smoked ham

Mix together in a chef like manner

Swish it around a bit until there is no chance of any egg being recognised

Slop on to plate, zap in microwave for far too long (to ensure all traces of egg are eradicated and mushrooms are no longer rock hard).

Pour strange juice stuff down sink, wipe of edge of plate (to avoid drippage), serve with tomato sauce (put about 1/3 in bin when you realise that you have made too much again).

Thank you, Sherrardk.

I've been looking for a use for that pack of chestnut mushrooms I bought last night in Tesco. (1p and they're still fresh tonight! I got them along with the pack of cooked sliced beef I had for my supper -also for 1p - and the pack of mixed leaf salad I've been using today, again for 1p!).

Perhaps I should buy some eggs then? (I've only ever purchased eggs once in my life!)

[EcclesCake]

Keep an eye on Observer Food Monthly Sherrard, I'm sure your recipe and especially the tips will feature one day ;-)

The pour excess down sink/bin will have to be rewritten as it won't sit well with the environmentalists......

Joking aside, isn't this just a well cooked omelette type thing with a splodge of sauce?

[sherrardk]

It is a rubbish omelette with too much stuff in it or rubbish scrambled eggs with stuff in.

[society]

Vanilla ice cream with ketchup.

[beejay1124]

strawberry jam and raw onion sammitches

[EcclesCake]

It's not rubbish if your family love it!

[sherrardk]

Eccles, I don't feed it to them! They had home made chicken pie (well, I put the bits together) with broccoli and new potatoes. I make them eat properly, x

//pour strange juice stuff down sink//!

whatever happened to leftovers - do you folk have no respect for food??

[sherrardk]

Humbersloop, the 'juice' is from the mushrooms and the grease/fat from the cheese. I eat about two thirds of it and put the rest in the bin. Believe me, it is almost unsalavageable before I eat it the first time, no one would want it as left overs. (I waste very little in this house.).

[humbersloop]

sherr, there must be a soup or a pate in there somewhere? ;)
