No benefits this week - it's an economy meal

[Cycling Naturalist]

A couple of onions in the pan till they are translucent, medium curry powder plus cumin, add plain flour. Chop up the best part of half a kilo of Gardeners Delight tomatoes fresh from the garden and chopped beans. Add and gently cook and reduce. Co-Op prawns, garlic and fresh chilli from the garden in a separate pan. A dozen special value free range eggs from the Co-Op hard boiled . Add lemon juice, mango chutney and Greek yoghurt to the curry mix plus the spiced prawns. Add eggs halved to your taste. Serve with proper parsley as a garnish (none of that flat leaved nonsense from Waitrose) and boiled rice. Sit out in the garden with it and some chilled lager.

There's some decent pudding and cheese to follow.

Sod the co-op, it's those dozen eggs that worry me. I hope Mrs Patrick makes him clean up the loo afterwards.

Oh, and what with fresh prawns and a dozen eggs, and a six-pack of expensive continental lager - and a garden to enjoy it in - it's hardly what I'd call an economy meal. I think Patrick's idea of the level of benefit is a bit off from reality.

It makes up quite a lot of portions, the lager was on special offer, and the garden is only about a third of an acre, and not all of it is formal.

....well I'm afraid that meal is very unlikely to tempt @vernon back from his travels

Indeed - the deep fried beetroot sandwich is the default option among many here.

Sounds like a pile of shite to me.

Don't mock it until you've tried it. The deluxe version with cheese is especially delectable.

Chopped beans? What beans? Green? Baked? Magic?

 

[AndyRM]

You're a terrible cook.

If I remember correctly then the Co-op is the only supermarket in Llangollen. Lots of shops for tourists though.

Memo to self: Never accept a dinner invitation from Patrick.

Patrick's favourite is a Jeremy Cor-bean.

How do you halve an egg to taste? Surely no one would scorn the invitation of its radial symmetry and lop the big end from the little end? My conviction that Llangollen is inhabited by colossal perverts is deepening by the minute.

I bet the Stevens curried eggs really were in an orange Le Creuset as well.

Only if he's not a Catholic.
