OK, What's For Lunch or Tea Today?

[Ian7633]

Ok, I was wrong Digestives are good, I got Mc Vities original wheat biscuits, Grant 's suggestion here and they are perfect with tea. Thank you.

Mc Vities are the best, very versatile too. A nice, strong Cheddar cheese on a digestive is very tasty.

I moved house a few weeks ago, it was vert stressful and pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong. In the past I was diagnosed with an eating disorder, I would sometimes stop eating, sometimes for days and then have serious problems digesting anything when I started eating again. This went on for a long time and has damaged my digestive system, the upshot being that I have to be very careful to eat a good diet at regular times. I'm mainly over this but after the house move I had a bit of a setback and had issues with food again. I'm on the mend now although I don't eat much (you'd never believe this if you saw me lol) and seeing and reading about the food you guys have really helps me to enjoy food again. Thanks chaps and keep posting.

Very much so, I cheated & used Asda frozen ones - 50p for 15 & I think I was robbed! The whisk is coming out next time (if I can get any flour).

If shit Puds are your thing Aunt Bessies are the better ones but no substitute for real monster puds which are an art alone to get monstered

Jeff:
There is loads of different bickky variants. The Chocolate coated McVities Digestives are great dunked in scrubber milky coffee. We used to have some trampy salted biscuits over here called 'Ritz' that people got out at christmas to put bits of Cheeze, Pickles etc on, I think you can still buy them..

Sorry to hear that Ian, hope everything settles down for you mate. Glad you enjoy the posts, though!

Ritz are common here, my son loves them.
Try braunswagger and smoked chetter cheese on one.
Or pepperjack and tuna, or motserella and bbq sauce or....

Ian,
Hope you are feeling well.
Learn to enjoy eating, Marco can be your roll model .
I'm sure he would share one or two of Del's recipes if you asked.

I find the trick with good Yorkshire Pudding is the heat of the Oil before adding the mix. Use high smoke point oils like Sunflower oil.. Those round puds are a bit shite, Best with monster done in a deep roasting tray. I used to make some real aliens that spanned from the middle shelf to the roof of the Oven..

Yep, 100% - sunflower oil really hot then add the batter mix.

Thanks for the kind thoughts gents, I'm feeling ok and my appetite is slowly returning. It's a very difficult thing to put into words, I really love good, quality food and drink and I'm not too bad with the pots and pans but I just get this "blind spot" with food and can't see past feeling absolutely no interest in it. Seeing the dishes served up on the forum and reading peoples comments along with recommendations for sourcing and preparing ingredients is very inspiring. Even Andre's northern puds sound great to me ( that's how I do them by the way). Once I'm on an even keel I'm going to bake my own bread again, I became quite adept at the glutten free loaf.
