You have never had mine. . Mine are one of the nicest things we have all summer, very medieval style stuffing, or northafrican. Delicious, but marrow puts so many off that i only make for us.

Scotch eggs, I can't eat. Yeah, I know, I know, su pposedly Scottish, and all Eggs are for omelettes or maybe fried for breakfast, but hard-boiled is an abomination. (And they're as Scottish as Mars bars are Martian)

How many NPs would it take to finish a munchybox? I can put the feedback on with the best of them but even I'd reckon I'd met my match there.

Hopme made freah scotcheggs can have a soft yolk, just. Perfection indeed, a soft yolk.

Dh likes very soft hoiled eggs, i like a medium egf, white totally set, yolk still soft in the centre but set to glutinous on the edge.

How long would we have dor the munchy box? I reckon dh could finish it untimed, and i would have mine for brunch and supper till finished. I have a disgusting love for left over takeaway.

You could try a courgette.

Hate the thought of those... if they're hidden they're fine, but I'd never buy/cook/eat one.

Yeah, I could eat it as something bought on a Friday night ... and finished by Sunday night.

I love courgette! One of my favourite pizza toppings, just sauted in buttwr, or steamed with butter, grated for fritatta is AMAZINGLY good.

Years ago, I used to have Jackie magazine. They always had a typically 70s, teenager's, recipe in there.... I remember one week they had a scotch egg, but it was egg in cheesy mash .... never did make it.

That scotch egg place does one with a filling of salmon/cream cheese/potato

I'll admit that most scotch eggs I've ever had have been horrible... nasty (even gristly) meat.... but I know it's possible to produce lovely ones... and one day I'll have a lovely one, even if I have to make it myself.

Courgette is my favourite vegetable (more so than even mushrooms). There are few dishes I wouldn't add courgette to. Should I ever be grown up enough to have my own garden, that is the first thing I will try to grow

Well it depends on the takeaway. I can't say I've ever enjoyed reheated fish'n'chips, and chinese food is a bit patchy for reheating. On the other hand, I've enjoyed curries which tasted better on reheating later.:T
I just don't get kebabs. It looks like what they'd serve in the seedier parts of hell.:eek:

yum yum yum, we had the first 3 baby courgettes (not pollinated) in stir fry for supper. can't wait for us to have courgettes out of our ears. we can eat a courgette a day for many many many weeks. Then i freeze them to use throughout the winter.



surprisingly, the french beans in the allotment have flowers! I hate runner beans but I may have to grow some this year as my bean harvest may be pathetic.

and I've planted spagetti squash which is the king of all squash. I can never seem to buy them but had them once and fell in love so now I have to grow them if I want to eat them. the lengths I go to for food. :rotfl:

A properly made kebab is just spiced meatloaf with salad and bread. we made ours with lamb mince, onions, garlic, fresh herbs and stuffed it in a fresh home made roll with salad and mayo.

nom nom.
