You can never slag off my grub again after posting that!

Fortunately, there's no meat in this, so you wouldn't be able to murder it although I wouldn't put it past you if you were ever let loose near a lentil or two.

Koshary: the cheapest, tastiest and healthiest dish known to man (maybe).

Koshary, kushari or koshari (Egyptian Arabic: كشري [ˈkoʃɑɾi]) is Egypt's national dish and a widely popular street food.[1] A traditional Egyptian staple, mixing pasta, rice and brown lentils,[2][3] and topped with a zesty tomato sauce, garlic vinegar and garnished with chickpeas and crispy fried onions. It is often served with sprinklings of garlic juice; garlic vinegar and hot sauce are optional.

Just for portion size ... my partner and I would share 1 bowl of that.

Maybe we are light eaters?

Maybe it's just me. I'm useless at buffets ... I get a small plate and I'm happy.

A beer buffet? ... now we're talking

Seems Double Denim was right about that Egyptian shite

I doubled down for dinner with a couple of falafel sandwiches too...

...I slept in the spare room last night.

...doubling down with Achmed?

Take your pants off Mustafa and make some more room

Funny you should mention that actually.

I've got a 'mate' who offered to pay for my gym membership and who occasionally brings me gifts when I see him.

We met in the steam room...

Sundays lunch during a rainstorm. Had some left over carnitas pork I had made almost a week before, some salsa, some lettuce, and some Ranch dressing. Came up with this, not gourmet Chimichanga's, and it went down a treat.

That looks great.

I'd probably need (or want) two of those though.

The first Mexican food I ever ate in the US was a chimichanga. I only ordered it because I liked the name though!

2 tortillas mate, . Had some chips as well, and killed all the left overs so there were no more to be made..

I love chimichangas. I would happily smash that! Do you make your salsa, or is there a brand that you like over there?

Normally I make my own, but this was some store bought. Way to tomatoey!!!

Mine,

Ya, that looks top-notch, and I would dip a tortilla chip in that without hesitation. This is the last fresh one I made with my garden grown veg before it got cold...

That looks similar to mine, but where is the Pok Chee you know as Cilantro? Salsa is the only food I like Cilantro in. Very common spice here in Thailand.

A solid 7/10 (it needed more fried onions). If you're reading this, Nev, which I'm sure you are, it's one from your old stomping ground.

That would look really nice next to the bowl of potpourri my Granny gave me for Xmas.

I find it a bit too strong over here so only use a little, but it is great with chilis and onions in an omelette.

That day I had to make it as my tomatoes were super ripe. It was the end of September, so the last of my Tomato crop.

I am not sure if I am going to do the garden this year.

Do a garden! When I have land we always have one. But your climate. Tomatoes, zucchini, lots of beans, all sorts of berries, then the sweet corn and bell peppers, and any kind of nice chili you want. We have a great garden here but with entirely different fruit and veg for the most part.

So, the TD move to lentils and vegetarianism should be put on the backburner for now then?

That shit wasn't mentioned in The Game Changers.

I am considering a takeaway curry tonight, is it spicy?

^ No not the ones in the UK, the Tarka is a spice mix inc chili which is heated in oil and added boiling to the garlicy dhal in the serving bowl in India but in the UK its not the same. I still have it with curries in the UK, nice and creamy and garlicy. You must have had it.

Here you go Topper, I can't even remember the last time I had Taco Bell but this was a very tasty light lunch







A highly successful day so far. Left home at 10:45 and was home by 11:40 having gone to Royal Garden for a Pfizer booster, had a light bite at Taco Bell, visited my favourite Pharmacy and purveyor of pharmaceuticals that would normally require a prescriprion, and driven home. Life's pretty good sometimes
