I really am my own worst enemy.
In a bid not to waste any food it would seem that I will chomp my way through anything and everything that I find in my freezer or at the back of a cupboard!!
After a couple of weeks of eating nice healthy things, mostly unprocessed and with minimal wheat ingredients I came back to 'the dark side' with a vengeance this week.
I found these Katsu Chicken Style Fillets in the bottom freezer drawer under the bags of vegetables and decided to have them for my tea one night when I wasn't that hungry, but wanted something tasty and quick. Well they were reasonably tasty and yes quick too, but they were also very artificial tasting even with the bread crumbed coating being pretty nice.
Although to be honest they looked like the dogs dinner !!
Then only the next day I was determined to use up the wrinkly tomatoes that were sat in the fridge, so I decided to use the free naan breads that I picked up from Booths way back in April, they had been in the freezer for far too long.
I teamed the tomatoes up with half a red onion and tipped the mixture over one of the naans, which I had spilt and toasted. Very tasty, but I really felt that the tomatoes and onion mix was doing all the work and the naan bread just tasted like stodge.
Mavis had a large chunk of the naan that I just couldn't manage, she was delighted!!
Just reading the ingredient list on the naan bread wrapper makes me feel podged!
If I wanted to make my own for a future version of this meal, this would be all I would use. Flour, water and salt, and turn it into a nice quick flatbread.
Next time I look through the freezer and see a packet of something in any way doubtful, I need to harden my heart (before the food does that for me) and simply consign it to the wheelie bin.
Oh and the second naan bread from the pack was toasted and crumbed, and put out on the bird table. If I see any birds struggling to take off I will know that they are podged too. 😄
My view on the US election result. 😐

Similar to my view of the US election.
ReplyDeleteIt's all been said; my adding anything won't change the situation.
I’m about to eat a bean burger which has been lurking in the freezer. I may regret it but I won’t be buying them again! Catriona
ReplyDeleteI find it the list of ingredients on a lot of bread products quite scary. We stick to locally made sourdough (I remember you don't get on with it) or Waitrose ciabatta rolls; sadly no Booths down here 🥹😭. When we were out one day we bought a vegetarian wrap. Not only was the filling horrible but the wrap itself was revolting and had 17 ingredients. I was stunned. Like you if I was making a flat bread or wrap it would have flour, salt and water, maybe some yoghurt. It was a lesson to remember to make and take our own sarnies.
