    Smiley faces and chicken nuggets/dippers. Maybe some beans. Wouldn't mind that for dinner now instead of this adult nonsense the missus does for me.

    I love beans on toast but they shouldn’t be served with any other meal, including cooked breakfasts. Nothing worse than getting bean juice on your fried eggs.

    Is that a euphemism?

    Had kedgeree tonight, which I'm pleased to see is a several hundred year old dish.

    Back to school dinners, anyone remember choppies? Orange breadcrumbed lamb burgers. Lush with ketchup

    Lancashire hot pot

    Indeed a few of these regional dishes are worth a try, e.g haggis, or scouse

    Stelios and Annie a young Greek couple from a small village in Northern Crete, arrived at Heathrow last Saturday week.
    They were staying for a week with my daughter and her husband who had befriended them while holidaying on the island of Crete.
    It was the first time they had ventured beyond Greece, so everything was exciting to them.
    My wife and I entertained them on one of the days while my daughter and her husband went to work.
    They were fascinated by our custom and food which they insisted had to be British (or English).
    My wife cooked a large 'Cottage' pie which Stelios eagerly began to devour.
    "This is so good" he said.
    "And what is that"? he said pointing to the gravy boat.
    "Err thats gravy" said my wife.
    "Grav, Grav, I will try some" he said pouring some on his Cottage pie.
    "And that"? he said pointing to the H.P. sauce.
    "Thats sauce" I said.
    "Try a little on your pie".
    He poured a little on his pie and tasted the sauce and smiled.
    "Thats very good"
    He then poured H.P. sauce and gravy over his Cottage pie and gleefully devoured the lot.
    I could fill a whole page with the wonderful day we spent with Stelios and Annie who are now back with their family in a small village in Northern Greece.

    If it was like my schooldinners, Grey Meat with tubes in, mashed potato either with cheese in or lumps, warm beetroot. Pudding always included custard with skin (sometimes chocolate) and some form of sponge, or if You was really unlucky bread and butter pudding (I can feel the vomit rising as I type). And you werent allowed to leave any.

    I'm a massive fan of Shepherds Pie as it appears are many on here. But do you really make Shepherds Pie? Or are you actually serving Cottage Pie? Shepherds pie is made with lamb, usually minced and Cottage Pie with beef and again usually minced. I must admit I use minced beef but still call it Shepherd's Pie. I have used minced lamb but really find it too fatty for such a dish.
