If you're able to afford that everyday, I envy you.
You're certainly a better person than I, it's likely I'd get a mixed grill if I was spending £10.00 everyday, hold the mushrooms, extra onion rings.

Sorry, I was using it as an example.
I don't really know any expensive veggie food (aside from your salad)

I could easily fill five people up with £10.

My booze bill was colossal though.

There's some kid in africa who gets by on £1 a year.
I don't see why he should have to get by on that, yet the rest of us can swindle by on [whatever you spend per day].

Home cooking, easily
Going out, not so easy.

I assume she goes there because she has no wish to prepare food before work?
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 9:40, Reply)
i have neither the wish
nor the time nor the energy. plus i am very fickle and it is guaranteed that whatever i brought in i would not fancy by 1pm. and i often end up missing lunch altogether and then it sits in the fridge for days.

Aye, I thought as much, I'm often the same
Just before christmas, I was going to head to the shop to buy some Branston Pickle, so I could make ham, cheese and pickle toasties.

I was putting my coat on, looking forward to my sandwiches, when someone announced they were off to McDonalds, did I fancy anything? I'd been looking forward to those toasties all day, but the instant an alternative was offered, I took it.

Makes lunches very expensive when that happens.
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 9:46, Reply)
I'm the same, but I live right on top of 24 supermarkets, so I only plan meals when I want too, rather than have too.
I don't think it's that much cheaper to make your own lunch, by the time you've bought some nice bread/meats/cheeses and stuff.
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 10:02, Reply)
I can make a £10 lasagne last for about 5 meals
But with cheap cheese, ham, and bread, I can make a perfectly edible toastie for a week for about £6.

It's half and half though, the toasties get dull quickly, the lasagne doesn't.
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 10:04, Reply)
But the ham doesn't last a week once you've opened the packet.
I guess I could make a nice pasta bake/lasagne for about a tenner, but I'd rather spend £15-20 and get everything I like in it, and it would last about 5 meals too. But I really don't like having the same meal twice in a row.

I'd heard you had a dark side

With this in mind; Michael McIntyre, Russell Brand, Jamie Oliver, Robbie Williams, Cher Lloyd. Thank you.
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 9:46, Reply)
Nah, keep Jamie Oliver, he's turned over a new leaf, not as big a twat anymore
And in all seriousness, I quite like Robbie Williams. His music is about as good as that genre goes, and his swagger amuses me. I'm sure if I met him in real life, I'd think him a cock though.

I have never watched X Factor through choice
The only reason I know who they are was due to spending about 3 weekends in a row at my mates house, both her Mum and sister love it.

Five minutes ago I would have believed that
but now I'm calling bullshit. Which one's your favourite?

Wagner, because he's a massive twat.
He made a mockery of the competition.

On the one hand you're quite correct, of course
Although the suggestion that the X Factor could be any more of a mockery of a competition is questionable

You have to fold the note just so, and it's an effective weapon.

I mean she was eating healthily, if I had that much on a day to day basis, it's likely I'd eat food that was hideously bad for me
Well, that or sushi.

"healthily"
we are talking about pasta or couscous stuffed with cheese as well as salad vegetables here!

Ah, so as healthy as my Spinach & Ricotta ravioli in a creamy tomato sauce from last week?

(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 9:48, Reply)
ie, not at all
But definitely tasty.
I know I'll be proven wrong in this, but in my experience if it's tasty, it's unhealthy and vice versa.

Considering the bashing I get for drinking Diet Coke in the first place, I think a straw would only make it look gayer

You are at a greatly enhanced risk
of oesophagal cancer if you drinks loads of Diet Coke or indeed any carbonated drink.

Please stop killing yourself with low-calorie cola drinks.

yes
although a good friend of mine gets through more. She's fucking weird. Best cook I know, and yet she can't eat without a can of diet coke, and she puts ketchup on almost everything.

Probably. Sorry.

I don't like the taste of diet coke

I love the stuff, definitely prefer it to full fat

You can have items that are healthy and tasty (e.g. steamed corn on the cob)
But to make a full meal tasty, I think at least one thing has to be bad for you.

Although I can't talk, my tea from last night was pretty unhealthy. I'm having the same tonight, and the next 2 nights though. (It was cheap)
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 9:53, Reply)
But corn on the cob's bland without lots of butter and black pepper
I just wish I could develop the ability to eat whatever I want and make other people fat.
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 10:00, Reply)
You have a point there, shit.
Steamed is only the 3rd best way to cook it anyway.

depends how fresh it is
if you can get it within minutes of coming off the plant it is sweet and delicious with nothing added

I'm sure there are some fields round here that grow it
Will have to try this later in the year.

Of course, if you're a townie
you'll probably misjudge it and get a mouthful of bile.

I had the advantage of having it grown by my mother, but I've snaffled it from fields before.
