Top three dinners

This is making me laugh!

Everything and anything. I'm so easy to feed! Agree with you PP in that I prefer the main course and I'm not bothered about puddings - I prefer fresh fruit. I love a casserole cooked for several hours in the slow cooker, or soup from the soup-maker, pasta (spagbol or puttanesca in particular), egg and chips as comfort food) ..... Well just about anything really. I've never tried snails or frogs' legs or anything "weird".

As to the 'weird' stuff belladonna do you remember dear Terry Wogan going on about food insisting that everything tasted of chicken anyway. DH had frogs legs in a restaurant we were in Paris I didn't fancy them but had a small bite to say I had tried - guess what they tasted of? Chicken!

I don't like food that's hard work - steak, gammon and so on. My teeth aren't up to it and by the time I get near the end it's all stone cold .

So my favourites are things like (and this is not an exclusive list!)

Cottage pie with baked beans
Lasagne/cannelloni
Any casserole with meat cooked till it's falling apart.

In other words, food you can just shovel up

My favourites are

Steak pie made with suet crust and any vegs.

My own chicken curry with wild rice and green beans

Roast beef and all the trimmings .. plenty of roasties and gravy made from the juices.

OH's favourites would be

Roast lamb and all the trimmings.

Sausage mash and mushy peas

Steak pie with suet crust.

I am fairly new on here Pollyparrot and think any topic you are interested in is a good one and the Gransnet old timers should go and be 'controlling' elsewhere.!
I like anything someone else prepared and cooked for me too.

I will go and see if I can control the nice man in Waitrose. #bouttimetoo

Oooh! a Waitrose lady! - - - - waves hello
I could name my three favourite wines though - - or has that been done to death too - - -

Waitrose. Yes.

Teetime
re everything tasting of chicken. When we were in Australia we were given a taste of crocodile..........guess what it tasted like? They were fed on old broiler chickens so I shouldn't have been surprised. It was a bit rubbery though.

Roast chicken with roast potatoes, yorkshire puds, cabbage, leeks, carrots, peas, stuffing, lashings of gravy

Crab salad

Smoked haddock with a poached egg

Paella

Everything 'tastes' of chicken when you have anosmia 'sigh'

Most chicken outside farmers' markets tastes of nothing anyway compared with those of the 1940s, 50s and 60s. Simply roasted they were to be looked forward to on special occasions.

Indinana I have always liked food that you can just shovel up, and there's nothing wrong with my teeth, maybe am just lazy.
My faves are,
Chicken Korma and rice,
Roast chicken/turkey dinner and veg,
Really good smoked fish fishcakes.(I want a 4th! Yorkshire fish and chips and mushy peas, the peas must have salt added to them.)

My favourite dinner is home made beef stir fry.
My son amazed us all by making a delicious roast chicken dinner yesterday.
I also like fish and chips from the chippy.
Now I am about to start a 24 hour fast in preparation for a hospital appointment tomorrow. Ah well. My next dinner will be my favourite whatever it is. ?

Steak pie (no kidney, thanks) from a local butchers
Roast chicken with roasties and yorkshire pudding
Lamb shank slow cooked in a rich gravy/sauce

Hungry thinking about all that and only biksemad (Danish leftovers dish) for dinner tonight

Roast chicken seems very popular with a lot of posters. I love it with stuffing, roasties, Yorkshire pud and veg, yum.

Teetime. Not sure I could do frogs' legs even if they tasted like chicken. In Iceland, on a group holiday, we were served guillemot, or a seabird of some kind, so I opted for the trout alternative. Amazingly everyone else wanted the bird. I'm sure I could have eaten if if I hadn't known what it was. Same with horse meat, I've probably had it in ignorance.
Indinana I totally sympathise. If eating out with friends I just say I don't like steak/pork chops/gammon and go for an easier-to-eat option.

Elrel I agree about tasteless bought chicken. our own chickens have a strong flavour, but are sometimes tough.
My favourites are chicken casserole with homemade stuffing balls.
Some king of meaty fish (eg back of cod) baked with chopped onion and red peppers in orange juice - plus chips. Had that today.
Best of all shoulder of lamb slow cooked on top of vegetables.

Can I just say that I hope the poor posters who were so upset over my 'fucking' post on here yesterday - so overcome by the vapours in fact, that it was all they could do to actually report me to GNHQ - have now fully recovered and are well on the road back to their usual state of tranquility. and to soothe the oh-so-ruffled feathers.

As you were.

I hope they reported pollyparrot as well!

I didn't report the post but, d'youknow what, I'm glad people did. It's downright rude to tell a poster to shut up because their topic has been discussed before. The golden rule should be if you're not interested in a topic [or find it repetitive or boring] just don't take part in it. Unless, of course the intention is to turn into a 'me me me' post #heavenforbidthatanyoneonherewoulddothat

Hello, Ana. Glad to see you've finally managed to thaw out.
