    Curried egg rosti. Peel one potato per person , grate it (takes seconds in the food proceesor) rinse well and mix with a good teaspoon of curry powder. Heat a frying pan with a tbsp of oil then spread out the grated potato until it forms a shallow cake and fry gently for about 5 minutes or so depending on how deep the layer of potatoes is - it should be starting to look cooked but not yet done. Then you need to flip the whole thing - easiest if you have another frying pan. The top layer should look nice and golden. Fry gently on the other side for about 5 minutes then make some hollows and break an egg into each one. Carry on cooking until eggs are done and the potato is cooked. If you are in a hurry stick the whole pan under the grill for a minute to set the eggs.

    Absolutely delish and as cheap as it gets
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!
  • Soupy pasta.

    Pasta cooked, added to tin of tomato soup. Heat. Put grated cheese on top and grill until melted. Yum. My comfort food too!

  • Corned beef hash & baked beans (made with frozen mash)
    fish pie from the freezer
    10p noodles (good for when you have a sore thought or toothache too)!
    In fact all 3 meals are comfort food - quick to cook and easy to eat!
    A waist is a terrible thing to mind.

    Egg (poached), bacon (grilled), chips (often real potato disc's drizzled with olive oil & baked in the oven) & beans.

    We all love it.

    Take-away
    Fish and chips

    Or if I want something relatively healthy I'll have a jacket potato with tuna covered in beans! I'm lactose intolerant otherwise I'd cover it in cheese :D

    lazy meal is risotto with any old thing that's in the fridge - had it the other night with some leftover chicken and a manky sweet potato!
    Just call me Nodwah the thread killer
  • Mine is pasta with sundried tomatoes and pesto. The pasta takes 10 mins to cook, and all you need to do is stir in a spoonful of pesto and throw in some of the tomatoes. Really simple.

    Bowl of cereal often features if I don't have much food in the house.

    Interesting the amount of people who said takeaway! I can't be bothered ordering anything over the phone for delivery or going to get it, I'd rather just stick on some pasta.
