weird how I’ve never had a good restaurant lasagne and never had a bad home made lasagne

profk · 2018-10-09T19:18:39.155Z

not something i’d ever order at a restaurant due to the high quality of cheaper shop bought or homemade.

ttf · 2018-10-09T19:20:56.157Z

every one i’ve had taste like an M&S high-tier ready meal

Im_On_Safari · 2018-10-09T19:22:24.899Z

Nah. Gonna stop thinking about mash now as making me feel sick. Cheersthxbye

profk:

honestly, sometimes used to get the pre-made mash. sainsburys and 'trose do decent ones and they’re almost always on offer (used to shop late, I guess)

picked up one from Tezzers on the way home last night from the Reduced to Clear section, didn’t i. had a couple of Linda McCartney sausages from the freezer with it and had a ruddy good time. lovely stuff.

I don’t mind a lowish grade cafe lasagne TBQH. With chips and a can of Coke.

In terms of flavour and price, I’d have to vote for the mighty dal. Lentils, spices, onions, garlic. Got a cauli knocking about? Roast it up and chuck it on. Spare aubergine (you middle class bastard you)? Fry it up with some spices and on top it goes. Top quality dinner, well versatile, easy and cheap.

Lasagne is too posh for me to class as normal.

Going to say a veggie burger and chips, maybe with peas

This is a solid shout

um, really?

Prefer a spag bol to a lasagne myself

Also gonna nominate Thai green curry & rice.
Chicken breast, curry paste from a jar, some peppers, coconut milk, boil in bag rice, wicked.

Bamnan · 2018-10-09T19:35:51.559Z

Don’t think you can count a ready meal, you can probably get nearly anything as a ready meal.

The best “bung-it-in-the-oven” normal dinner is Bernard Mathews escalopes with cheese and ham, oven chips and peas.

Icarus-Smicarus · 2018-10-09T19:36:41.344Z

i would argue that by 2018 the majority of all lasagne is consumed in ready meal form.

Bamnan · 2018-10-09T19:36:54.214Z

Don’t know what an escalope is so unable to weigh in on this one I’m afraid

Sorry Harru, I’ve got a lot of respect for you but that’s fucking bullshit and you know it.
