What is Readybrek? (or what food adventures have you had in the last two weeks)

Not long ago I set principles aside and learned how to make a vegan "omlette", using gram flour.
It's laughably easy and actually really nice. Slapped between two bread door steps with a load of tomato sauce on, it'll keep you full for hours. (Best treated as a Spanish type omlette with assorted chopped veg in.)

Might try onion bhajis next - doesn't sound too difficult.

Had a very nice sweet potato soup tonight - couple of sweet potatoes, one onion, one green chili, teaspoon of ginger, simmered in veg stock for a bit then mashed to break up the spud.

Cycled to Levenshulme and back, with my 1 activity/1 food shop of the day.

So now I have Rice!, some yellow lentils and some spices! Things are looking up for that bag of tatties I got. Decided to abstain from getting meat, as although Halal, I could not guarantee it would be fresh after the 1hr cycle back.

So, it's potato and lentil...erm...spicy something then? I would have still gone for the dripping blood as well personally, given the opportunity. Waitrose seems to be the only store around here anyone's queuing for. I guess it does take their average customer longer, what with all the conversations ;)

I don't have a garden so I'm growing radishes indoors. Seems to be a good return on investment in terms of strength of flavour / space taken up.

Don't forget to make full use of your radishes, the green tops are of more nutritional value than the root. Raw, cooked, made into pesto, check on line!  (y) O. G.

Readybrek!  My Mother used to buy a box of that for us to eat before school.  A small box used to last about a year, porridge was not for me back then, but now I eat it pretty much daily. I do wonder if the actual stuff you put in it is what you enjoy, blueberries in porridge is lovely.  I also like seeds, sunflower, pumpkin most.  Gives a bit of a crunch to it and ups the protein a little for the veggies.

The Scots and their salted porridge used to confuse me, but now I go for a spoon of marmite which is quite salty even the low sodium stuff I use and a shot of chilli sauce.  It's the smallest amount you can pour out as I have a bottle of the most strong sauce I've ever tasted and to be honest it scares me how hot it is, (some good reviews on that site) probably I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to big scovilles. Lasts for ages though at the amount I use so great value.

I like the idea of chilli in porridge - might try that, though I'll skip the Marmite! I was introduced to chilli jam in California a long time ago - on scones, with cream (they knew I was coming) - just a fabulous taste and wasn't hot at all. That sauce of yours looks vaguely familiar - I remember bringing something like that back from New Orleans that destroyed everything on contact, but had a lovely flavour when you'd recovered.

Marmite in porridge is an absolute banger. Try mixing in some butter too, and grating cheddar cheese on top

Not recently, but in Chile we drank a lot of red wine & coke, with cheap wine it improved both!
