trophyshy 7084 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 5 minutes? You could open two cans of beans and a ready meal of mash in that time. I just realised it's probably the only proper meal I make that takes longer to eat than prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meenzer 15731 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 All joking aside, that is one of the depressing things about cooking properly. I can see why some people live off ready meals when you have that "two hours in the kitchen = 10 minutes on the plate" equation to deal with.

Renton 22006 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 it's so worth it man. when does a ready meal ever taste as good as home cooked meal? Sometimes there just isn't time to cook from scratch. I wonder though when the last time you had a ready meal was or if you have literally tried them all. M&S curries, for instance, take some beating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M&S curries, for instance, take some beating. if i'm too busy or lazy to cook, i'll order something in, cooked by somebody else. not a fan of supermarket prepared stuff. generally tastes a bit artificial to me and never as good as the real thing. it's like pizza. why buy an oven pizza from a supermarket when you can order an italian style thin and crispy delight cooked in a wood burning oven from the local firezza? and i'm aware m&s and waitrose do some ok stuff compared to tv meals of days gone by but why get a curry from m&s when you can get a one cooked fresh by an indian and delivered to your door?

Brock Manson 0 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Potato latkes tonight. Leftover mash with some mixed herbs, paprika, garlic (grated perhaps), cream cheese and flour. Form into patties and fry until both sides are well browned. Serving up with some green beans, courgettes and topped with fried egg & bacon.

Because imo M&S curries are far nicer than most Indian take aways which frankly I think are poor quality with meat from fuck knows where. Also there's the expense. The odd shop bought pizza express pizza (which seem to be permanently on offer) are ok, but why get a restaurant bought take away, why not eat in the restaurant? I'm really not a fan of take aways unless there's no other option tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takeaways are our Friday night treat when neither of us can be fucked to cook after a week in the office. I cook from scratch every other night of the week. I'm lucky that I live near several excellent places that deliver. I can get top qulity Indian. South Indian, Thai, Italian and Japanese delivered to my door in just over half an hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 22182 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Eating out is great with bambinos man, should be positively encouraged. Yeah it's good at the weekend but tends to be Sunday lunch or an early tea on Sarurday. By the time the wife and I are back from work it's practically his bed time. Going out to eat at the drop of a hat is probably the thing I miss most about not having kids. Even more than the lack of sleep! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
