I remember as a teenager my mum refused to cook for us all as we always complained about her experiments, so we lived on take aways or microwaved stuff for a couple of years, most of the microwave stuff was pretty crap back in those days, but lets move onto pot noodles, these I thought were the most disgusting tasting things anybody could eat, but lot's of people ate them because they were considered exotic, but after my first couple of tries I didn't eat them again till a couple of days ago, in the old days you just used to pour boiling water into the pot and leave them for a few minutes, now things have got better

These I bought in America but didn't try them there as we just ate from our doggie bags in the evenings, but damn they are good, this one is a Kraft Herb Marinara, open it up, take out the paper bag, fill to the line with water, microwave on high for 3 and half minutes, chuck the contents of the paper bag in there and you got a great snack, wish I had brought more of them back now.

Opened and ready for action.

Time for the main ingredient, water.

Now you got to admit that that looks damn lovely, a bit of meat in there and it would have been perfect.

Anyone remember microchips?

I remember that they didn't taste like chips....

dirtydog · 18-04-2008, 02:38 PM

Remember the old packet in a smash? the old mash potato powder, damn that was awfull, most disguting thing I have ever eaten, well, apart from Karen in Essex, she didn't know a lot about personal hygene

I'd trade my truck for a single microwavable beef and bean burrito.

They're something like 30 cents in the supermarket and the best drunken snack-before-bedtime I know. The inevitable blister on the roof of your mouth makes for hours of boring office amusement the next day.

Marmite the Dog · 18-04-2008, 04:51 PM

I'm not sure which is worse; microwaveable 'meals' or 7/11 hot-dogs.

It was really nice, I have an "Alfredo" for tomorrow

friscofrankie · 18-04-2008, 06:05 PM

You could spent your hard earned dollars on some of them Riviera canned ravioli or those canned tamales They don;t come with their own microwave in the package packaging but at least you'd had something edible.

And tomorrow you're gonna eat instant, microwaved cheese-type food product & macaroni? and call it what?

Doing a good job of clearing up any residual homesickness I might have felt
Thanks

I'm driving down to BKK tomorrow, be back on Sunday AM on your doorstep with a a couple of packets of Micro beef and bean Burrito's from Villa, ready to pickup my nice 4 door, auto Vigo.

Be sure and have it polished up for me.

My Mum lives on this shit as she is a a small eater living by herself, its laden with salt and preservatives, tastes like crap.
Doctor warned her to lay off them, she said to Doc, I'm 80 fucking 2, somethings gonna kill me soon, might as well be something I like.

She didn't really say 80 fuckin 2 as shes a lady.

I got some of those from Villa once, I can honestly say they were absolutely disgusting, worst excuse for a burrito I have EVER seen

Texpat · 18-04-2008, 08:01 PM

Actually you can buy refried beans and tortillas at the NK bridge. Add some small beef cubes, diced onions, mozarella cheeze, a dollop of sour cream and a few jalapeno peppers. Roll 'em and freeze 'em. Nuke for two minutes and you're ready. Shouldn't be that difficult to make them myself.

Somehow I liked Timber's food threads more.

Kind of a swish tablecloth for a guy, tho.

jizzybloke · 18-04-2008, 11:14 PM

DD's best cooking thread yet

looks slightly more edible than the rest anyway!

Microwave Magic

Have a look at this DD.

dirtydog · 20-04-2008, 01:19 PM

Here's another microwave meal, but I cheated a bit as I made the original chile con carne on the hob, anyway take your chile out of the fridge, zap it for 3 minutes in the microwave.

Add a cheese and black pepper slice, chuck a couple of pickled jalapenos on top, another minute in the microwave and it is delicious, wish I had brought a few jars of jalapenos back, I also mixed in some hot salsa with the chili to give it a bit more bite.

sun shade · 20-04-2008, 08:28 PM
