You are absolutely right about the price of fresh food. Ready meals, pizzas etc etc are five times the price of fresh food; you just have to be selective and have basic cooking skills.Don't get me started on that - worked at home for about 30 years - always ended my day in the dining room catching up hand writing reports then latterly on line. I was about 10ft from a cooker, fridge and food cupboards. Made tea with fresh ingredients every night for the 4 of us. All this bollocks about fresh food being too dear - go look at the price of a frozen pizza or m/wave meal against a but of mice, some spuds, some pasta and the latter produces meals for best part of a week for cheaper. These "ping" food addicts are really too lazy and lack the skills so would rather watch The Chase than spend time in the kitchen. Cook a chicken on Sunday then strip the frame of all the meat and freeze in portions. Medium chicken is for Sunday - makes you a curry - then makes you a pie. Boil the frame and freeze that stock in portions you have the base of flavour for soups, gravy etc. I still make vats of tomato sauce for pasta - 10 cans value chopped toms at Lidl (less than 50p each ) one large onion - a garlic bulb - whatever mushrooms I have in whatever veg I have like carrots - any salad leaves looking a bit sad and just cook for yonks. Stick blender to puree it all then when cold portion it into sandwich bags and freeze. I do 20 bags at a time minimum. I worked in insurance and watched a few cookery shows - its about attitude and mind - if you want to well for yourself and family care what you eat and know whats in it and where it comes from.
My choice too, with a slice or two of streaky bacon which seasons fish fingers perfectly.Fish Finger sandwich is my choice.
Pizza is a bread sandwich. Pizzas from the supermarket are just very expensive bread.Anything on a butty is good. When I was younger I used to eat a pie on a butty or one of those little 8" pizzas between two slices of bread. Currently I like crisp butties, and cucumber sandwiches.
Posh ****.Med/rare fillet steak cut into strips placed on a warm crusty baguette that’s been lightly spread with aioli and topped with sautéed mushrooms and red onion then finished with a melted cheese.
It’s not my regular butty but it is my best one. :-)Posh ****.
Quite a lot of dialect spoken around that area even today. In the Robin Hood pub in Silsden, plenty speak nowt else.Yeah, I worked and lived in Eastburn (Between Keighley & Skipton) for a few years, only place I ever heard it.
Oh, posh posh posh.Med/rare fillet steak cut into strips placed on a warm crusty baguette that’s been lightly spread with aioli and topped with sautéed mushrooms and red onion then finished with a melted cheese.
Also I love liver - mum did braised liver and bacon to die for. Most people who hate liver cite having it at school as their reason. At school it was a dry leather shoe soul you were served so I can see why.
