The I Don't Go Anywhere For Sunday Lunch Thread

There's a lot to be said for a good iceberg. It pi$$es me off when a restaurant tries to posh up a prawn cocktail with rocket, blasphemous evil bar stewards.

I like a little rocket covered by a hot steak - great taste when wilted by the heat and dressed with the meat juices.

When it's all wilted down like that you can generally get it over with in just one or two mouthfuls.

I don't mind rocket, but kale is like eating thistles. I hope it's good for you because eating it's no fun whatsoever.

That is why it goes well with hot chorizo on a roll, or with pasta.

With kale you need to remove the center rib, and chop. It's good in veg soup, or in the Portuguese caldo verde.

I'd rather sit in a vat of acid while gnawing my limbs off.

When I lived by myself I quite often cooked a chicken roast for 1 as it worked out quite cheap.

I'd do the meal, then make a chicken salad or sandwiches with the leftovers the next day, then I'd boil the bones up to make a stock and throw in leeks and some potatoes to make a soup. For about ?8 you'll get about 4 meals.

If I do a roast midweek I'll make 2 dinners exactly the same, wrap the 2nd plate in cling film & put it in the fridge to re-heat the next day in the microwave.

It tastes just as good & there's no cooking to do & only a plate to wash up!

[MrBen]

I was going to say "dont forget to use the bones too!" but then I remembered....

If I was 100% veggie Sunday Roasts would hold far less appeal to be honest....not that roast veg aren't tasty...

There was a Chinese near The Cherry Tree back in the day before the day. Roast chicken, mash, peas and gravy in a tin foil container. ?1.90

All washed down with a tin of Woodpecker.

Home grown Rocket is fantastic, all peppery and firey

Packet stuff 'meh'

Sweet Romaine is good in a prawn cocktail

[Alan Medic]

That's a Chinese?

I've always liked the English bits on a Chinese menu, specially "Eat-In" ones

My pal Deano, never eats the Chinese food bit on the menu 'No mate, they do a pukka chicken/steak and chips tho'
