Hopefully it'll be grilled salmon that I plan to catch this afternoon. :fingerscrossed:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Having a couple of cans of ale for my tea here in Bristol. :thumbup: :rofl:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

It will be biryani for me. With a naan, and some cucumber raita.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Homemade or are you ordering in?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Homemade. Apart from the naan which is from the supermarket.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Never had much luck with naan from the supermarket until we found this. Its pretty good. Although you might have to get it at an Indian supermarket.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Yeah, the naan's we have aren't the best. On occasion we go to the save-on-foods just over in mission and they have a big south asian section. Maybe I'll look in there to see if they have that brand (last time we went I stocked up on lime pickle, but we are nearly out of it now because I keep using it in cheese sandwiches).

We shop at this shop. Sabzi Mandi Ltd. but I think they have other locations.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Some sort of unidentified dried out meat and oversalted, boiled-to-death vegetables, for a change. :(

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Tonight I'm having turkey fried rice. I'm adapting my recipe for chicken fried rice - it's a bit of a radical change, so I hope it works out.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'm debating whether to have a piece of a rather pleasant Stilton, some spicy salami, prosciutto and pickled onions or order in curry. :confused:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I hate when I find this in my field ration pack during exercises :frown:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Ungrateful sod. Do you know how hard the poor taxpayers have to work to keep you fed while you're playing cops & robbers?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Hey Einstein......And you think I don't pay taxes? :rolleyes:

I'd think you're a net receiver, don't you?

Self funding isn't it, like a perpetual motion machine.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

For "dinner" its Shepherds pie with carrots, peas and brocolli with homemade apple crumble and custard for pudding, back of the net!:thumbsup:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'll be round at 6. Don't make the custard too runny. :)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

This evening I had smoked wild salmon, boeuff bourginon and a cheese platter. In a restaurant in Norway. It was good, but eating out in Norway makes Canada seem cheap. Even for cheese.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Saturday night a roast turkey dinner. Sunday lunch turkey sandwiches. Sunday evening roast turkey leftovers. Monday lunch turkey sandwiches. Monday evening roast turkey leftovers. Tuesday lunch turkey sandwiches. Tuesday evening turkey stir-fry. Wednesday lunch - let's see - ah, yes, turkey sandwiches.

I am beginning to get just an incy wincy bit tired of turkey.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Real Shepherds pie or the Canadian version?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Don't tell me you're one of those who insist on calling shepherd's pie made with mince beef, cottage pie?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

You're darn tooting.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I thought Canadian-style shepherd's pie/cottage pie was to put sweetcorn in it.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I do half minced lamb and half minced beef, onions, peas and chopped carrots in the meat. Mash made with yellow potatoes and warm milk and butter in the mix and top off with grated cheddar cheese on top.

Cinnamon in the apple and crumble with rolled oats in the topping. Very thick custard piping hot!! totally lush:rofl:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Yum!!!!

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I just dribbled on my keyboard. I will send you the bill for a new Mac.

The signs of age... in your prime it probably would have cleared the monitor.

The wrists have gone.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I think someone bought a Turkey that was too big:D

Re: Teatime Choices
 

That's impossible! :D

Turkey should be eaten at Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and that is about it. I bit of a naff meat in my opinion, but does offer the plus side of feeding you for a week afterward.

I enjoy the Canadians realizing that two turkey meals within 2 months was a little bit extreme, and moved their thanksgiving a bit earlier to compensate for possible overload of turkey. :)

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I don't mean to divert the attention from the OP's original subject but it occurred to me that since I've been living here nobody's invited me and HID over for our tea? We don't smell or anything. :rofl: I try the best to make friends but this seems a bit stand-offish. Anyone else not been asked over for their tea?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I've never been asked over for tea either. The neighbours do invite us round for tea and biscuits in the morning after the dog walk, but it's not the same as being invited for tea.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Pop over to mine. Bring teabags and biscuits for afterwards.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We are having lasagne and a salad... Because I am working this evening, it is one that I made a while back and froze (the lasagne not the salad!). Eldest daughter will put it on the oven to cook and make the salad.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

We were going to have slow cooker chicken stuff, however it does help if you make sure someone else hasn't unplugged the slow cooker when you turn it on as your leaving the house in the morning:frown: Not quite sure what to do with it now:confused:

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Its either a Indian, Chinese or Earls. My vote is the Indian as I like to pop into Earls on late on Wednesday afternoons to partake in their cheap beer and chicken wings.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Edited to note: We ended up getting Nando's Portuguese-Mozambican Chicken. It was not bad.

Re: Teatime Choices
 

I'm having a bit of toad-in-the-hole. With peas and some mash and gravy.

Isn't wonderful emigrating to Canada?

Re: Teatime Choices
 

Not had that in a while now. We had sockeye; I fried it and we ate it with some veggies. The salmon here is rather good isn't it?
