We shop at Asda or Tesco !( Aldis one would relish such luxury in Jarshitter )

Don't put butter on my potatoes but the Gammon was grilled in the butter that came with that.

▲▲ We ordered a bunch of dishes. Roast duck, tofu etc. So I bunched them altogether so it would only be ine pic to post.

And today's

BTW easiest tip I can give you for shooting pics for here or other internet uploading

Have you got a cheapo camera you can just leave on the 640 by 480 setting ? if not I,m sure you could pick one up from the local boot sale or Ebay for a tenner , saves all the gaffing around and forgetting to change your file sizes

There not bad Gammon nige but are a bit thin

As for the camera I do have a couple laying about so I might just follow that tip,but then I might just carry on playing with this quiz machine

Got chicken salad tonight but if I change my mind I might whip down the local chinky and take a few snaps of the menu, come on that's not cheating

Nothing wrong with Aldi's for regular stuff, such as bread, milk, eggs, sugar, cheese, ham, fruit and veg etc. same shit as they sell in the rest of the supermarkets but half the price. Only thing Aldi is no good for is if you want a decent cut of meat or some fresh fish/seafood.

Willburt I am sorry ,, you are gonna have to up the anti seriously to post in this thread

WTF ?? frozen chipsitix !!

Sweetcorn looks like its been shaved with a cleaver


And a black fatty / gristly looking piece of donkey meat covered in BBQ oil ???


Cmon mate you can do better ,, wheres the hog roasts ??

The old austerity measures biting ?

Agree buriramboy nothing wrong with Aldi,certainly giving the main lot something to worry about. Just personal preference for us.

Wilson I trump the Donkey meat grey steak with what I had for lunch yesterday

I still can't work out why I've turned into a fat Bastard!

At least you gotta a bit of wholemeal toast on the platter Gravey ,, eggs nicely cooked

but those sausages look a bit suspect ( mass factory )

The local butchers where I buy my bangers make sausages that when you cook em dry in the pan with no oil , they end up cooked still dry ,, no fat in the pan , a quick wipe cool down and back in the cupboard

The sausages are exactly that cheap fat filled crap that she bought for a sarnie,just me that got the leftovers for lunch

Just say No!!

Gravey. Like the gammon plate except for the spuds 9/10
Breakfast looks good 9/10.

I'd green ya, if I could bring myself to do it!

Green Red I'm not over zealous so as you were!

Curious though what is wrong with the potatoes in your opinion ?

No butter, no salt, no pepper.

I love new spuds, especially Jersey Royals.The skin is usually 'flaky' and just need a bit of a scrub to dislodge the skin,sometimes I use the back of a knife to scrape them.

Yours and Nige's spuds have the skin intact...I don't fookin like that!
Each to their own.

And a good dollop of butter.

The skin is the best bit, mate!

Well at the risk of getting ripped by all of you so called gourmet chefs. Here is a nice NZ New York Steak with jacketed potato with a glass of nice Spanish Red. Being an American, a steak and potato suits me just fine. Really hard to find a nice cut of meat, here but this one was really tender, with a line of fat in the middle. Provides good flavor is all I can say, but the wife eats it all.

Not big on greens then?

Seen a lot of that wine in the shops lately.

You recommend it?

That would do nicely for dinner, extra points for good seasoning and the glass of red as well. Not "ripping" you at all, but what would have really rounded that plate off IMO would have been a couple of fried eggs on the side. Thanks for the pic though, hopefully you (and others) will post more of your dinners. There's been some good ones lately.

Wife made Som Tam, but not my favorite.

It is a Spanish Red with a price of 360bt, for Thailand it is a very drinkable red wine. Wouldn't even consider drinking it back in California, but good for Thailand.

I hear ya.

Thanks.

I usually eat all potato skins especially baked ones , its all good fibre Charlie carrots as well never scrape em just wash em well , mind you to be fair with the chemicals used in Thailand I do tend to peel and extra wash the veg there .

Welcome Hoxman , nice to see a new contributor , well done for posting a pic in fact ,, however its bad manners to take half eaten meal pics , please observe table manners before posting half eaten meals , no matter how much vino you've downed .

Points lost for a microwaved soft floppy potato , they need to go in an oven 60 mins at 180 in a fan oven , I know you aint got one so you have to light a cave man fire outside and lob it in there , does em great !
