I had the M&S Melt in the Middle No Fishcakes for my tea the other night, they were much better than I remember them and definitely worth me trying them again. I cooked a double portion of rice as I just knew that I would want to have the Garlic Kyivs the next day.
And I did. It looks just the same doesn't it, but obviously is actually very different.
I really do prefer the Kyivs to the No Fishcakes though, so they will stay in my repertoire ... while I doubt the fishcakes will. I only want to keep my absolute favourites of anything that could be classed as ultra processed.
With this in mind I decided that rather than stashing the remaining No Fishcake in the freezer I would have it for lunch yesterday. This time however, it was served with a quick slaw made simply with a crated carrot and a couple of slices of finely chopped red onion. I discovered this simple mix HERE.
Delicious, and it made for a lovely light and tasty lunch.
I don't know if you spotted these on my last post, but I bought them from Aldi as they had been reduced. It was only from 99p to 69p but it seemed like a bit of a bargain. As soon as I saw them I thought that I could freeze them in portions of five and have them as little accompaniments to either a curry or a pot of hummus.
Well either the machine that packed them was faulty, the person doing it was generous or the printing on the packaging was wrong as there were 25 little naan bites in the bag. So now I have five bags in the freezer for future use.
And now that I've typed the word hummus I'm really fancying it for my lunch. 😄

Confession - I have never made my own coleslaw. I'm going shopping today, so have just put mayonnaise on the list (something I never normally have in the fridge I will confess).
ReplyDeleteI love making my own coleslaw, and throw in all sorts of fridge remnants - white/red cabbage, white/red/spring onion, carrots - and sometimes peppers, or dried fruits, or nuts, and sprinkle sesame or nigella seeds on top. And use mayo and/or yogurt as the creamy base.
DeleteThose little naan bites look perfect for hummus. I usually make coleslaw with yoghurt as I’m not partial to mayonnaise. Catriona
ReplyDeleteI love hummus. I'm craving it myself, now :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realise there were so many naans in that bag, and the extra ones are an added bonus. Xx
I love homemade coleslaw, made with red cabbage preferably. Those nan bites are very cute. xxx
ReplyDeleteWow, extra naan bites are a great bonus :) Don't you just love it when that happens? ;)
ReplyDeleteFor those who don't buy mayo. If you happen to use soy milk (which I do) making your own mayo is easy. Use 1 third ratio soy to 3 thirds oil, add some dijon and a little vinegar (and any salt/pepper to taste) and blitz with an immersion blender. Increasing the soy makes more of a dressing while increasing the oil makes a thicker mayo. We hardly ever use mayo so I just knock some up this way whenever we need some. It will store in the fridge for a week. May have to make some tomorrow for coleslaw now. 😁
ReplyDeleteWhat cute naan breads, and to get 5 more than on the package is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
That coleslaw looks delicious. Bought coleslaw, especially budget brands can often be very gloopy. I
ReplyDeletemuch prefer to make it at home.
Delicious looking meals and how lovely to find extra naan bites in the bag!
ReplyDeleteI rarely make coleslaw but you have inspired me!
ReplyDeleteThanks for saying what the M&S Kyiv were like.
ReplyDeleteI made it to an M&S Foodhall yesterday, first time in years, and all their freezers were out of service . . . perhaps I am not meant to try these!
I rarely have 'bought' coleslaw and never at home - I just don't like it as much.
ReplyDeleteThe mini naans are lovely - what a good idea. xx
