A Slap Up Meal For Twenty Cents.

We are having vegetarian chilli con carne and minced meat chilli con carne for us supper tonight.  Why have I gone all Yorkshire?  Wait a minute that doesn't make sense.   Doesn't chilli  con carne mean: Chillies with meat?  So how can you have a vegetarian one?

Yon lass went to our local garden centre and supermarket (Lidl) and did find the above meals for 20 Cents each.  We also got 24 cans of Liffey water or Guinness for 20 Euros.

We are going to watch Funny Cow on Netflix tonight starring Maxine Peake.  I will let you know what what we thought.

Who needs to go to one of them posh restaurants where they light candles and somebody says to the waiter:

"Put ten Bob in leccy meter"?

You don't have to put on your best clobber and cover yourself in that erotic (exotic) after shave called TCP  and jump on charabanc to the flicks.  Oh no.

Just sit there in your scruffs and switch on the old fish tank in the corner and tune into Netflix.  Well I  am tonight.  What are you doing or having for your supper?

  1. Obviously there is no meat in the vegetarian meal. It was just my attempt at humour!

  3. We are as "Rock and Roll" as you. Cod, mashed potatoes, mashed carrot and Swede for tea. Tv for husband and a book for me.

  4. Which newspaper should we use Gwil? The Sun perhaps? We have a good supply. But not the cheap toilet paper that blocks the septic tank. We have just dined and I got the straw and had to eat the vegetarian one. They are normally two Euros each. I reckon one could feed one self for fourteen Euros a week. Those cheap German supermarkets can cost you an arm and a leg. You pay 27 Cents for a tin of Bastardo baked beans. Then you walk to the middle aisle and pay 500 Euros for a 32xinch colour television.

  5. You like to dine at home and relax in your home entertainment arena like our good selves Christina. Sounds like a goodnight.

  6. I know what you mean Gwil. I just try my best to have a great Christmas and raise a glass to my mum and dad in Heaven. Hope there's some good films on the electric fish tank? Think there's a new adaptation of Charles Dickens and a new Worzel Gummidge programme. All l need now is to see Chas and Dave's Christmas knees up from the eighties and I am in TV heaven!

  7. Can't compete with that for a bargain meal. Although my OB did recently bring home one of those supermarket deli chickens reduced to £1.

  8. Yes Jaycee it was very reasonable and tasted ok. I spend my life looking for a bargain. Hope you're enjoying your holiday and Elfie is behaving himself?

  9. Spent an hour this morning making a (meat) spag bol sauce. I put finely diced carrot and home-grown onions, herbs and tinned tomatoes, making five portions at a time. Four were put into the freezer - the other, I had for my supper with gluten-free pasta.

    1. You sound very well organized the veg artist. Especially using your own home grown vegetables. Thanks.

  10. I can eat breakfast out (pretty hard to mess up eggs and bacon), but I can't think of a single restaurant I'd go to for dinner.

  11. I noticed lidls had ready meals here too but don't think there was anything as exotic as chilli , veggie or otherwise, and it wasn't cheap. Wish we had one close by, I'd pop over and have a look, not that my traditional other half would eat a ready meal. Has to be 'reafy from the hands of his wife'!

  12. Hi Joanne. I find eating out in Ireland too expensive. Even we go to a takeaway or chip shop. We will buy one portion of fish and chips between us. If we lived in England l would drink and dine in somewhere like Wetherspoon's which sells reasonably priced food and real ales. Thanks!

  13. Hi LA. Lidl is very inexpensive here in Ireland and there seem to be a new range of products every week, You can't beat homegrown and homemade food but you can't leave a bargain either. We see carrots and onions for forty Cents. They aren't chemical free or has fresh has the ones we grow but we will still buy a bunch and put them in a stew. Half my veg plot is used for perennials and shrubs instead of just vegetables. Thanks,

  14. I am surprised you don't buy local meat from the butcher Dave and support farmers and growers, especially as you used to keep a few beef cattle yourself, instead of buying this sort ready meal.

    ReplyDelete
  15. We buy beef joints and steak from the local butchers Rachel. Mainly because we prefer it than prepacked supermarket meat. Most of the farmers wives near me shop in the local supermarkets. It's all down to what we can afford and they have carparks. So its convenient too. I will always have a veg plot but also buy cheap vegetables too. Thanks.

  16. Living alone isn't good for those with hearty appetites lol. Seriously, I no longer cook, but I do have ready prepared meals which are rather nice.

    ReplyDelete
  17. I am sure the ready made meals are great Valerie. I like a takeaway every week. Thanks.

  18. I am reading this on Friday 20th so I am not sure if the question you posed is still relevant. Anyway - if it is - we will be having our usual Friday night treat - tripe and onions with boiled Johnsons* followed by stewed rhubarb from The Rhubarb Triangle.

    *= pig's trotters.

  19. Crubeens are still very popular in Ireland YP. I believe they grow some mighty fine rhubarb in the Rhubarb Triangle in Yorkshire. Theakston old peculiar isn't bad either. Oh how I miss real ales and English bitter. Thanks for telling us about your Friday night treat YP.

  22. FINALLY FREE FROM HERPES VIRUSI thought my life had nothing to offer anymore because life became meaningless to me because I had herpes virus, the symptoms became very severe and bold and made my family run from and abandoned me so they won't get infected. I gave up everything, my hope, dreams,vision and job because the doctor told me there's no cure. I consumed so many drugs but they never cured me but hid the symptoms inside me making it worse. I was doing some research online someday when I came across testimonies of some people of how DR ADIGBA cured them from herpes, I never believed at first and thought it was a joke but later decided to contact him on the details provided and when I messaged him we talked and he sent me his herbal medicine and told me to go for a test after two weeks. Within 7 days of medication the symptoms disappeared and when I went for a test Lo and behold I was NEGATIVE by the Doctor Who tested me earlier. Thank you DR ADIGBA because I forever owe you my life and I'll keep on telling the world about you. If you are going through same situation worry no more and contact DR ADIGBA via dradigba@gmail. com or WhatsApp him via +2348077875210. he is good too to cure all type of disease and virus. 1 HIV cure 2 cancer 3 diabetes 4 hepatitis 5 herpes. You can contact if you are having any problem...

After two weeks of taking the herbal Medication, I went to my doctor for a checkup and my results showed Negative and my doctor told me that there is no trace of herpes in my body and the virus is completely gone from my body.

  33. I was cured of HIV with the use of natural herbs. My name is Alandre and I'm from Texas. I love herbs so much. Most times, injection and drugs are just a waste of time. I was cured, I suffered from HIV for 13 years but with the help of Dr. Mark herbal medicine, I was cured within a few weeks of drinking the herbs he sent to me through courier delivery service. This same doctor also cured my Aunty from herpes, as soon as I heard she had herpes, I quickly refer her to Dr.Mark and she was cured too after drinking his herbs.I have referred a lot of people to Dr. Mark and they were all cured from their various illness. Have you taken herbs before?. You have spent so much money on drugs,injections,surgeries etc and yet you have no good result to show for it. Contact Dr. Mark now, he is a herbalist doctor, Dr. Mark has herbs that cures Hiv, Herpes, diabetics, asthma, hepatitis, STD, cancer, chronic, etc. Contact Dr Mark through his Email address on: blessedlovetemple@gmail.com Please share the good news to other people once you are cured.
