We harvested some more leeks and some kale and some of my Japanese onions the other day and we bought a tray of cheap beef mince from you know where?
I diced and peeled two supermarket potatoes and placed it in a pan with 2 stock cubes and half filled the pan with cold water:
This was obviously taken before our tea was cooked on the kitchen stove.
It's good old stodge. Not particularly appetising but it was full of sustenance and vitamins and our homegrown vegetables.
The meal cost two Euros to make. It's a meal that my mother made once a week.
Can you make a meal for less than 2 Euros?
Probably only for two people.
ReplyDeleteMost of our day to meals are quite frugal but I do splurge if we have visitors.
We rarely get visitors JayCee. Our friends live overseas. Cottage pie tonight made for 1.99 again plus the cost of cooking it.
ReplyDeleteLooks just like the food I like. I use sweet potato now, leeks are lovely and often a bit of cabbage. Simple and tasty
ReplyDeleteVery simple Linda to make and feeding four people for only a couple of Euros.
ReplyDeleteYes. Piccalilli sandwiches.
ReplyDeleteBill Wyman said that when he moved to France the one thing he missed from England was Piccalilli. I would say Newcastle Brown Ale and Prog Rock bands. Thanks Tasker.👍
ReplyDeleteI can do soup and fresh bread for that, but not very otfen. Do you fry the mince up first?
ReplyDeleteI am not much of a cook Kev but I can make some basic meals to survive. Soup especially. You don't need to fry the mince. Just only half fill the pan with water. It only takes half an hour to cook.
DeleteCan you make a meal for less than 2 Euros? Yes Dave - I can do that easily. I just wear my long shop-lifting coat with extra inner pockets sewn in and collect what I need. The resulting meal costs absolutely nothing.
ReplyDelete"Shoplifters Of The World Unite." The Smiths thought of that one back in the eighties YP.
DeleteI'm not sure how much two euros is in Australian money but we've had plenty of cheap meals in our time. Now that it is just me, meals are even cheaper as I can buy far less and there are plenty of vegeatble soup portions in my freezer. The cat's food costs more than mine does! She gets sick on cheap stuff :(
ReplyDelete3 28 in Australian Dollars River. I hate to think what our animals food bill is.
