I'm not such a pudding person, I prefer my dinner. These are my top three.

Roast chicken, stuffing, roast potatoes, carrots, peas, sprouts, gravy.

Steak and kidney pie, with mash and peas.

Fish, chips and mushy peas.

Which dinners do you like best?

Anything someone else cooks for me.

cornergran Mon 14-Mar-16 20:43:27

Exactly jings. I'm with you. smile

Why has Gransnet become obsessed with food?

Ana Mon 14-Mar-16 20:45:17

Especially as it's all been done to death before...

pollyparrot Mon 14-Mar-16 22:20:53

Why comment if you're not interested? You might have done it to death before but we haven't all been here since the ice age.

You have to admit it's not exactly riveting stuff though.

pollyparrot Mon 14-Mar-16 22:36:58

Feel free to start your own riveting thread. Jeez what a load of miserable fuckers you are.

When we're oop north we always have fish and chips from our favourite chippy in Belford, but we've only just discovered the delights of mushy peas.

I agree with Polyparrot - no need to comment if you are not interested.what is the point of pouring scorn on someone's new thread??

Pollyparrot. An involuntary LOL!
Tegan - I've only recently discovered that mushy peas are ok with a heavy sprinkling of black pepper. I'd bought a couple of cans for GD who never seemed to actually want to eat them.

Three favourite meals? I'll ignore my weight and my gradual reduction of meat in the last few years.
Roast chicken and roast potatoes plus plenty of vegetables, stuffing essential, thick gravy of course,
Fish pie which must include prawns,
Steak and kidney pudding with an unhealthy suet crust.

One of my best ever meals was a huge fruits de mer platter in Jersey

I like pps top three meals, but no kidney thanks. I hate offal.

I LOVE dinner here's mine

Lamb Shanks in red wine

Chicken In red wine

Beef in red wine all with lots of fresh green veg

looks like a theme developing but they are my favourites!

Imperfect27 Tue 15-Mar-16 08:11:29

I'll go with the wine bit Teetime, but alongside the food...grin

My favourites are:

pasta in all its forms - with a sauce / in a lasagne / ravioli ....

a restaurant chicken korma

stuffed chicken breast / chicken breast wrapped in pancetta

And if there happens to be a good rioja, merlot or prosecco to wash it down, so much the better!

Food is always a good topic :-)

Mine would have to be a flo's 6 oz filet steak with all the trimmings from the Longhorn Steakhouse Kissimmee ( im specific if nothing else :-) )

Lamb chops, new potatoes, peas mint sauce and good gravy

My home made Pathia curry, pilau rice ( and a peshwari naan and onion bhahji from the local take away)

and now I'm hungry!!!!

Alima Tue 15-Mar-16 08:37:38

Yes, I like food too.

If it is me doing the cooking, when it comes out as it should, I love my macaroni cheese made with the strongest Cheddar and a bit of chilli. We fight over the crusty bit on top.
Spag Bol made with bacon.
Bit of a cheat this but in the summer love salad, not just eating it but the smell too.

If someone else is cooking then it is roast beef with all the trimmings and horseradish sauce.
Pub burgers though these days can never eat all the roll too.
Singapore Chow Mein from the takeaway.

Always need to finish off with strong black coffee. Never felt the need to drink with a meal, is it just me?

hildajenniJ Tue 15-Mar-16 08:52:17

My favourites are,
A chicken curry, nann bread, vegetable rice.
Roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast and mashed potatoes, carrots peas and cauliflower.
Fish, with anything.

I guess it's just that some of us have been here longer than others. So it's a bit 'got the t-shirt'.

Do carry on. With my blessing. smile

pollyparrot Tue 15-Mar-16 09:35:32

jinglbellsfrocks As you can see, we took fuck all notice of those with the t-shirt, long may that continue. grin

I like what I consider to be old fashioned English food. If I asked my son the same question he'd probably say, some type of pasta, curry and rice and pizza. How times change.

Charleygirl Tue 15-Mar-16 09:39:23

jingl I am afraid that your replies are appalling and totally unnecessary. Some of us are not used to such language. We do not need your blessing, we will do what we want, thank you in a more refined manner.

I like lamb Jalfrezi, pilau rice from an Indian restaurant

Macaroni cheese

Fish and chips from my local chippie.

I am cheap to feed

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 15-Mar-16 09:43:38

shock pollyparrot said the eff word first! She called me a 'miserable fucker'.

I stand by my original contribution to this thread. smile
