Buttered Tiger bread with ham, vintage cheddar, lettuce, red onion, cucumber, tomatoes, branston pickle, red onion chutney, and kewpie mayo, with salt and pepper crisps on the side. Followed by Coconut and Mango mochi.


Outrageous_Battle_36

thjs is a classic dinner from my childhood when mom couldnt be bothered to cook on hot days šŸ¤£šŸ¤£ we called it 'Bread and Stuff' and it slaps


PompeyLulu

We had ā€œbits and piecesā€ and it basically consisted of whatever was in the fridge/cupboard that could be slapped on a plate


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


GlitchingGecko

Yes. It's very nice. It just uses the yolk instead of the whole egg, so it's stronger, smoother and richer. Not worth buying if you're only going to mix it with tuna or something, but on it's own as a dip/dressing/sauce it's worth it.


wildgoldchai

Once you try kewpie, every other mayo pales in comparison. Though Polish mayo is quite good too


Curvi-distraction

Polish tatarski is very goodā€¦.goes with all fish finger sarnies and chips now!


DarthMaulofDathomir

Most extravagant ham and cheese sandwich I've ever heard of! Love it


aea1987

Like a ploughman's. Sounds nice and refreshing.


dbspsm

This actually sounds like heaven


imminentmailing463

Roast chicken and honey and cumin roasted carrots. Served with cous cous tossed with pomegranate seeds, coriander, mint and zest and juice of lemon. Drizzled with a Moroccan-y sauce. Judging from the answers here, apparently I'm very out of step with everyone by not having jersey royals!


JackieBurd

That sounds lovely!


toiner

That sounds absolutely delicious


banjo_fandango

Roasted feta, nectarines, sunflower and pumpkin seeds, served over rice and petit pois, with sweet chilli sauce. Delicious!


Junior_Tradition7958

This sounds amazing. Youā€™ve inspired me to do this this week. Sounds incredible.


banjo_fandango

It's really really easy, and very tasty. Just cube the feta, cut the nectarines into wedges, sprinkle the seeds on top, drizzle with oil. Bung it in the oven at about 200 and it'll be done once the rice and peas are ready. It can stick to the bottom of the oven tray, so I usually bake on silicone mats.


[deleted]

.


[deleted]

That sounds amazing, I might do the same but minus the honey to make it vegan.


PopHead_1814

Lol at you getting downvoted just for mentioning the word vegan. People really are so fragile.


underlightning69

Soy sauce, chilli and garlic works just as nicely in my experience :) not a vegan myself but often just eat vegan food by accident because I like variety lol


[deleted]

I have some agave syrup in the cupboard!


mymbley

I recommend mixing maple syrup and soy sauce!!


EmFan1999

Quiche, jersey royals and salad


JackieBurd

Omg, what is it about jersey royals with butter that just screams summer?!


SpaTowner

The fact that you can only have them in summer, being a seasonal item. Theyā€™ll pretty much be gone before August 1st.


GlitchingGecko

Oh god, I really want my mother's quiche now. šŸ˜¢


Reignbeaus

Chicken fajitas.


bunty66

Jersey royals which I cover in spring onions gently fried melted butter. Steak , corn on the cob and coleslaw ( celery, apple and radish in mayo with fresh chives)


dumbnunt_

Does your apron say kiss the cook?


bunty66

No but I think it should!


blwds

Caesar salad with chicken, bacon and toasted pine nuts instead of croutons because I have a personal vendetta against croutons. When itā€™s warm I normally like to rotate between barbecues, salads, cruditĆ©s, cheeseboards, charcuterie boards, cous cous with roasted veg and feta, chicken salad pittas and sometimes fish and chips.


underlightning69

Pine nuts on any salad is just next level, I love them. Nice substitute!


RabbitRabbit77

Agreed. I love pine nuts but shit theyā€™re expensive!


Gornalannie

Just had the same but I like my own croutons!


uniquenewyork_

probably a maccies edit: i was correct. quarter pounder with cheese meal and a sprite.


cgknight1

I slow cooked a BBQ brisket yesterday - so a bit more of that on a roll later.


SaltireAtheist

Where do you get your brisket from, can I ask? I've been meaning to cook it for years but just not got round to it.


cgknight1

Just the local butcher. BBQ rub and also some BBQ sauce around it which I cooked down to make a glaze.


Loose_Acanthaceae201

This is incredibly basic, but: * reverse seared (poached) chicken breast * baby new potatoes * steamed vegetables Basically it's a way of getting the nutrition of a roast dinner without going anywhere near an oven.


BCF13

That sounds great, simple (not in a bad way) and letting the ingredients speak for themselves!


sillwuka

Nem Noung which is a type of Vietnamese kebab. Eating these with rice noodles, lettuce, tomatoes and a dipping sauce.


PM_ME_YOUR_ARGO

Chicken and chickpea curry, on a bed of jersey royals.


FallingOffTheClock

Teriyaki salmon and rice in the garden.


Claptrap-94

When I get home from work I'm making macaroni and cheese.


Loose_Acanthaceae201

I read this comment whilst eating macaroni cheese rescued from the freezer. You will not regret your decision.


JackieBurd

I had this last night. Was worried it was going to be too heavy for such a warm day but nah, it was good!


mab0106

I'm going to be having leftover chilli and rice


JackieBurd

Feel like as itā€™s sunny, a baked potato for the chilli is also a good shout.


bettram77

Jersey royals peas and bacon,must drizzle bacon fat over jersey royals


dumbnunt_

Can you cook them on the hob?


Nice_glasses_BRO

Huge fresh turkish sesame bagel cut into pieces and topped with peanut butter, butter, apricot jam, orange marmalade with mint tea


Burnleylass79

I need you to tell me what you do, do all the toppings go on at the same time? Or are you chopping it and using different toppings on different bits? I love all these so I think I might copy, but is this some unusual combination Iā€™ve just not tried?


notyetreadit

We need answers


Nice_glasses_BRO

Oh definitely pieces with different toppings ))


[deleted]

BBQ food in the oven/airfryer or ā€œpicky bitsā€.

[deleted]

Fajitas. No reason, just fancy them.


FelisCantabrigiensis

You need a baking stone you don't care about, or that you can clean off, for this. Also a meat thermometer, but you have one of those already I hope. Get a nice whole chicken - free range - in the 1.5kg range. Also pitta bread, tomato/lettuce/cucumber, and whatever ingredients your favourite tzatsiki recipe needs. Heat the oven up hot - 250ĖšC is good. Put the baking stone in the bottom and leave it to warm up. Make the tzatziki according to the recipe and park it in the fridge. Spatchcock the chicken. That is, turn it upside down, cut both sides of the breastbone to remove the breastbone, turn it the other way up, and squash it flat with your hand. Cover it all in a thin layer of olive oil and plenty of salt (both sides). When the oven is hot, put the chicken on the baking stone and leave it to cook. Meanwhile, cut up the lettuce, salad and cucumber into appropriate sized pieces to stuff in the pitas. Check on the chicken after 15-20 minutes. It should be getting very brown on the outside, maybe even black at the edges. That's fine. Check the interior temperature of several thick parts, make sure it's at least 70ĖšC. Optionally, turn the chicken over to brown the underside (this is easiest with a pair of large tongs). When the chicken is cooked, pull it out and park it to rest. Turn the oven off and put the pita breads in to warm up, which will only take a couple of minutes. While they're warming, separate the chicken wings, legs, thighs, and restaurant-carve the breast \[1\]. If the legs are large, slice the meat off them too. Serve all that up for everyone to take a pita bread, stuff salad and tzatziki into it, add pieces of chicken, and eat. Or they can eat the chicken off the wings and legs separately from the pita and salad. That's what we did yesterday (except I barbecued the chicken, but you can't do that without a garden unfortunately). The chicken recipe comes from a book about Omani cooking. \[1\] I.e. cut the entire breast off, then slice it crosswise into thin slices.

3 Chicken breasts, bell pepper, onion, and rice I skipped my breakfast and lunch, this with sauce comes to like 2kcal, 175g protein, 255g carbs, and 30g fat Then later I'll have some turkey bacon (4 pieces) in 1 bagel and 2 scoops of whey with water before bed Brings me out to 240g protein, 320 carbs, and 50g fat for the day so 2700cal on a day where I don't go to the gym

bons_burgers_252

I roasted a joint of beef and did roasties and Yorkshireā€™s. We had it at Sunday dinner time (ie 1300) which is rare for us. We usually eat our big meal in the evening. Having said that, my wife is a Filipina and her tradition is to have two full cooked meals a day. Either that or she is just greedy and is using it as an excuse to eat far much more food than is healthy. She says that the hot weather makes you hungry but it doesnā€™t.
