Well, due to Oinks thread, everyone knows what people have for lunch. But what about tea?
This evening I'll be having toad in the hole with sausages that claim to be 'english' style. From past experience these aren't perfect but they've made a decent stab of it.

Toad in the hole sounds like a lovely idea for supper, though, if that's what you meant to ask

Well, I'm a stuck-up upper-middle-class Southerner, so for tea I'll probably have a cup of tea and maybe a biscuit, if there are any in the house. Or possibly a cucumber sandwich or two (with the crusts cut off, of course).

. There's a farmer's market hereabouts where there's a butcher who makes really excellent English-style sausages. We have some in the freezer. Mmmmm.

Yum - that is my all time fave dish - though now in Canada I only eat the hole - the toad really doesn't do it for me.

My son has just introduced me to the delights of cream cheese and peanut butter sandwiches - where he learned I don't know, as peanuts are absolutely verboten in school (but that's a different thread...). Should I be worried that I find these really good?

At the weekend I cooked Sausage Casserole using a "Colemans sauce mix" that we bought back from Blighty & Loblaws erzatz British Bangers. It was passable enough. Toad in the Hole is a good thought though.
This evening I had Chilli courtesy of the Mrs.

Having just reached 6 weeks without a kitchen (house reno), I ended up with Timmies Brocolli soup and a wholewheat roll tonight. I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to being able to steam some real veg or stick something in the oven.

In the summer I usually have flexible light tea. Something along the lines of egg and salad or beans on toast. When the colder temperatures set in, I like sausages and chips or maybe some shepherds pie. Unless I have guests, I always listen to Radio Four's Six O'clock News on iplayer followed by a podcast of The Archers while having my tea.
