[Closed] How much of your day do you spend thinking about food?

Nope..I'm always thinking about it.
Probably means I'm my stomach isn't satisfied enough.

Food is great even thinking about it is great, I love food! 😀

Food is ace, I think about it loads.

Sometimes I even think about being a vegetarian, just because.

I think about eating vegetarians

I'm playing about with intermittent fasting at the moment. Two days this week i've missed breakfast and lunch and just had one big meal in the evening, so no eating from about 8.30pm to 6.30pm the following day.

I'm not thinking about food as much as you might, well, think. Surprisingly hunger hasn't really been much of an issue.

Not that much really.

One or two other subjects take up a much larger proportion of my thoughts during the day...

Do you dream about food?

I am vegan so i never give it any thought as everything i eat is horrible anyway

finbar - why? My Mrs used to do that, not no more, I think about food for her too...

Since stopping smoking, food now occupies my thoughts pretty much every waking moment.

Ho Hum - I rarely, if ever, remember my dreams. Sometimes I get up in the night to have some food though 😀

Junky - share with me your most favouritest vegan recipe and I shall cook it for myself.

Not a lot, food is fuel 😉

Now whisky...

I salivate at Masterchef even having just eaten my tea. [i]Had[/i] to sit through it with a tub of Ben and Jerry's last night

I hadn't thought about having ice cream tonight...

food is fuel

Sadly (?) my view of food also.

Eating is mostly a means to and end, a necessity, like putting petrol in the car.

As long as I get healthy(ish) decent nutrition from somewhere or other I'm not too fussed.

If you spend more time preparing meals than eating them you're making it too complicated 🙂

Try explaining that to HRH* though - cooking is less about the food, more about the personal challenge to use every single pan, dish and utensil we own

*wife

have some vegan ice cream - it is actually quite good
Never ever try the cheese
[img] [/img]

Not a lot really, I just turn up to the cupboards and it seems to come together rather well.

Can't stand shopping me, so do have a list in my head of stuff I would like to eat during the week, MrsBouy often has differing thoughts so it's a good mix..

Why only today I did think about this weekends munchies, went shopping and bought some interesting things, but in a huuuuggggeeee supermarket near where I work (begining with A) had no camenbert, I know, I know..
Loads of sourcraut/pickled veg etc. but no camenbert..

Junky - I bet it's quite healthy too? But is it made with soya?
And surely a chip butty is not the pinacle of the vegan diet? Especially as I won't even be able to have butter on it!

food is fuel

I'm sorry but you're clearly disturbed! You may not think you are, but you are. You need help

I'd suggest sitting down this evening with a glass of port, or a glass of decent red, an absolute mountain of really nice cheeses and some crackers.

If this holds no appeal to you, then you may need counselling

everything vegan is made with soya yes marg is not as nice as butter but ethically you will feel smug ...oh its you smugger 😉

finbar - why? My Mrs used to do that, not no more, I think about food for her too...

I'm also eating very low carb / high fat at the moment, and i find i'm just not getting that hungry. Also it's amazing how quickly you can get out the door in the morning if you don't have to cook breakfast/lunch.

I hate Soya, they have it so much here in China.
They even have Chicken that looks like a (whole) Chicken, cooks like one, tastes like one, but is soya.
Just eat a chicken if you want it to be one grrrrrr.

No offence to Vegans.

or a glass of decent red, an absolute mountain of really nice cheeses and some crackers.

That's what I had last Friday... plus some Iberico ham that was half price... £4.49 for 8 wafer thin slices, but my god did it taste good.

Being a boy (man, chap, bloke - whatever iDave) I'm usually too busy thinking about sex

I'm just about to make Fish Pie - that'll see us through quite a bit of the weekend.

Is it a posh one Bravisimo. With prawns in and stuff?

I love a good fish pie... bought all the stuff to make one then got to hungry so had seafood pasta one night and kedgiree the next.

I'm usually too busy thinking about sex

That's what the GF's for.

Is it a posh one Bravisimo. With prawns in and stuff?

You're such a f(l)ecker binbins. It'll be smoked haddock and prawns. 😛

Oh, how the other half live 😉

😐

That's just disgusting.

Durrty bastid! 😛

Sounds ace FTFY 😉

hilldodger - its a haddock pasty you're thinking of

Right, just off to poach the haddock in milk...

(And yes, literally poach the haddock in milk you durrty fleckers)

When did you develop this terrible typing affectation Darcy?

What typing affectation Yeti?

I'll take it back you've only said durrty... I was getting worried you were turning into that cheeky little cockney chap that posts on here occasionally.

I like to misspell words occasionally...I like seeing how Effin winds people up with it akshilly.

Roight, I'm busy poachin'

Effin

Poachin' you say?

What've you got in your 'ump Bravisimo

[img] [/img]

Don't threaten me with a dead fish etc, etc.....

😀

Haddock poachin'

Spuds (King Edwards FTW) peeled, chopped and ready to boil for the mash.

have just been scoffing these "exceedingly" good cakes [img] [/img] (they were on special offer).they are very nice 🙂

what will the haddock be served with 32F?

looking for ideas for this evening

According to Jamie Oliver, fish pie is really nice with beans and tomato ketchup. That sounds very wrong, until you try it. Then it makes a lot of sense

Haddock drained and cooling off. Prawns peeled and cooked. Roux currently cooking slowly for a few minutes before being made up to a nice fishy sauce (steady...STEADY there durrty boys) with the milk reserved from the poachin'

How much of your day do you spend thinking about food?

6.4823 seconds.

so prawns stuffed with haddock? any spuds/veg/fruit/cheese?

Tommy K. No.

Baked Beanz. Oh yes!!

Roux made - nice and easy as the milk was still warm from the poachin'

It's a lovely smooth roux - but I feel it needs just a touch of cheese. Spuds just on the cusp of ready to mash - lots of milk, butter and salt.

iDave, sorry, this is probably more of a day-off meal for you. 😛

I'm doing a big hilly ride tomorrow = I REALLY want mashed spuds tonight...

That's you, that is! 😀

iDave - where are you riding?

From Geneva up to the Jura with some mates, but an hours ride for me to get to the start of the ride. Really craving spuds now...

Bastid! I'll most likely be putting flat miles in although maybe a little jaunt into the Cotswolds could be on the cards.

Right all done...

Spuds boiled and ready for mashin' on left. Smooth slightly cheesy roux on the right...

Haddock & prawn sauce...

And topped with mash. All roughed up ready for crispy peaks in the oven later...

OmNomNom 🙂

Yum yum. Cold beer. Check.

Dibs on leftovers.

Great work there Mr40DD.

I've opted for some fine burgers topped with stilton, roasted pancetta and beetroot. All washed down with a few Peroni and a bottle of Rioja. A copy of Senna ready in the DVD player and a free house... happy days.

Thinking of scrambled eggs and more pancetta for breakfast.

In the post Jimmers. It's as un-iDave as possible mind. 😐

Cheers. Pop a candle on it as it's my birthday today.

Have you seen Senna yet TSY? Enjoy if you haven't (or even if you have).

Nope, first viewing... it's supposed to be a good un though right?

It's as un-iDave as possible mind

Not a problem, bearing in mind I am currently snacking on these:

...I think my nan thinks I am still 8.

Happy Birthday Jimmers!

\o/

Combien this year fella?

Coming back to the original question....

Not much. Hardly at all.
Left to myself I starve.
I might manage to make some toast for breakfast, and open a can of sardines later in the day, but that's it. Oh, and I hate/ can't do cooking....other than something on toast.

I'm just so wrapped up in other stuff. I have always been this way.

Pop a candle on it as it's my birthday today.

Serious??

Would you by any chance like a machine to dispense those jelly beanz? Seeing as its your birthday? I have one I no longer need.

Serious??

Yup. 32.

Just waiting for sister and bro-in-law to come over to cook me tea and apparently my sis has made me a Daim cheesecake.

Would you by any chance like a machine to dispense those jelly beanz? Seeing as its your birthday? I have one I no longer need.

I guess it would make me more classy that just sticking my face in the tub.

Email me over the weekend to sort it aaaaht. Unless it's going to be a million squid for postage, as imagine its quite bulky.

Happpy Birthday, your now as old as me!

Yours if you want it.

EDIT: it's only around a foot high and not very heavy. I'll get an approx price for postage from the web.

You off the beans then?

Oh, and check out the awesome card, me mum just gave me:

I'll get an approx price for postage from the web
