stovies and beans

Hash, with fried eggs and homemade tortillas. And ketchup. Mmm, now I'm hungry.

bowls of ready brek. at all times of day and night.

Fish Finger sandwiches.. with loads of vinegar...

The "holy" winter soup. The "sempiternal" Sunday's rosbeef. Chips with grilled meat. The Wednesday's cake or pancakes. Pasta.

My mother would have fancied more salads but she was alone against three males... I think that the soup was her revenge to make us eat vegetables even if we used to reply that chips were made of patatoes, known as a vegetable...

Since we left (the brothers) my father seems to starve... Now, his trick is to make us feel comfortable by them, just enough to make us stay and have, in his opinion, the opportunity to have a real and good meal together !!!

Hmm...

...grilled cheese and tomato soup. Rice and eggs . Ham and Cheese sandwiches [ick...]. Chocolate milk. Cinnamon bread. Cuban toast [Cuban bread toasted with butter in the middle]. Rice and steak. Pan con bistek [bread with steak--Cuban steak sandwich]. Sliced tomato with olive oil and vinegar [and salt, if you're my brother--he always loved 'em with salt; eww].

...oh, and I can't forget my all-time favorite comfort food...

...cereal!! :p

Now that sounds interesting.... humm.... just haven't got any of the ingredients or I would try it out for breakfast...

Fish have fingers???

Oh well...

I'm floating up stream....

I actually think the term 'fish' is the vague bit... but they are definitely fingers... erm... well... bring orange ones.... I would love a loaf of the orange bread they make those crumbs out of... must glow in the dark..

we don't seem to make chips in a pan anymore. a bit sad in a way. a lost art really. we rely on chippys which is another taste altogether. yeah quite sad really:(

Monster munch crisps were a fav from the school tuck shop (pickled onion flavour). Fried egg sarnies made in stottie cake with loads of butter. Boiled eggs with soldiers. Chip butties. Crisp sarnies. Tomato soup with bread to dip in.

When I was little and used to stop at me nanna's house, she had an open fire and we would cook our toast over it. I think she got us to do it that way cos it took ages to cook and kept us occupied. Tasted nice though.

Also, all of the kids around ours used to have baked potatoes, cooked in tin foil by the fire, every bonfire night. Sounds minging now but the skins would go really tough and they were lovely

I was a right fussy eater though.

I think the french call it cassoulet... but you have to kinda replace the egg & chips bit with a duck leg and add some cheese.. but it's kinda the same.. honest :D
