Had pie and ale just over an hour ago with a pint of top totty lucky me it was all paid for by my old mate gilbert, i think he just wanted to show off his new squeeze. at a distance she dunna look too bad but on close inspection well she's as rough as guts, the make-up is trowled on and why is it that women over 60 use orange lipstick?........

Not exactly lunch but tonight I shall mostly be eating sirloin steak in a creamy mushroom and whisky sauce with dauphinoise potatoes. Cost me under 3 quid, gotta love the reduced aisles at supermarkets sometimes :D

steak & guinness stew again.. asda are doing little packs of irish stewing steak for £1 at the moment, so it's too good to pass up! one of them with a few veg, tin of tomatoes, and a can of guinness - lovely stuff, especially on cold days like this, and enough for 2 or 3 days :D

not loads, about 200g.. makes enough for 2 massive portions of stew though, or 3 average portions..

i just brown the meat in a pan, then chuck in chopped onion, carrots and celery, a big potato (diced), then bung in about half a tin of chopped tomatoes and a can of guinness.. stick a lid on, let the whole thing simmer for about 3 hours stirring it now and again, and that's it - lunch for most of the week covered, for a couple of quid :up:

That sounds good but don't you get bored of the same thing over and over again?

Any one tried the new more finely chopped Branston Pickle? This may sound wimpy and girly. But it is much easier to apply to a sandwich that may have a small lunch box to fit into..

Sounds nice, I'm a greedy sod though. I usually allow 250g of meat per person for a main meal, and thats not a big portion to me! Luckily eating once a day helps me keep my svelt profile :strange:

I was gonna say, a 1/2 lb of meat is nothing as far as I'm concerned lol although I reckon with a lot of veg that would certainly pack it out.

Might have to have a crack at this tonight in preparation for lunch tomorrow :D
