Hi Tewson,
What a delicious and tasty lunch! I hope you enjoyed it. Very colourful on the plate as well. I hope you've had change to get out for that walk you mentioned as well.

I must say, was very tasty indeed I've been out for a short walk, but there is a panic type of buzz building up, on the roads, transport and in the shops. Luckily I live near some woods and common land.
Which reminds me, a lot of people have been asking what others are doing over Christmas. One thing I always do on Christmas day and Boxing day, is go for a nice solitary walk to unwind and blow the cobwebs away.
That would be lovely, if you removed the Pilchards 
!!
My lunch was an avocado spread on a slice of wholemeal toast, with some tikka chicken pieces (and 4 rees's peanut butter cups - yes I still have some left from my birthday ! )
in reply to
That sounds really nice. The rees's too
My husband is searching frantically for the peanut butter cups, can't find them anywhere 😢
in reply to Elissy
Do you mean you are looking for somewhere to buy them ? Ours came from Amazon !
Oh, thanks 😊
Been searching the supermarkets as they are advised on tv, but they are being rather elusive 😁
Very colourful full of goodness and I am sure it is very tasty too. Never had pilchards on a salad before. I have these with chopped tomato peppers onion mushrooms and sweetcorn all seasoned in one pot and left to simmer with a little chilli. I like one pot meals quick and easy.
Hope you enjoyed your lunch

That made me smile trafford1. "Never had pilchards on a salad before", I've never had them cooked before
You've given me some ideas now

Yeah they are so nice when you cook em you must give it a try. Can't imagine them cold

My lunch was courgettes nicoise (according to the canteen). It was supposed to be a side dish but I don't eat the other things they cooked. Made a change.

It's always difficult getting a decent canteen meal. I think you made a good choice

It looks delicious Tewson, but when it's cold and dreary outside, I like something nice and warm in my tum, so it was ham and leek soup for me today
in reply to moreless
Yes, I know what you mean, I had oven cooked pork chop parcels with mash and peas tonight. Really comforting food
Wow! It looks so colourful and tasty. You are giving me some ideas.

LOL, it took less that 3 minutes to put together. I'm still learning a lot, particularly about canned fish, it's a lot more versatile than I realised.
Hey ho, live and learn.
I'm liking the addition of the Jalapeños. Strong flavoured pickles always help to make a salad super tasty
in reply to
I love really strong flavours and often use jalapenos, pickles, capers, olives, anchovy's. Although sometimes I go for the sweet stuff, like apples, pineapple, grapes etc.
The trick is to get the strong flavours I hanker for, without going for the processed foods
ps Sometimes I add dried herbs too, such as fennels seeds on tomatoes etc
in reply to
I add sundried tomatoes and dates, but chop them into small bits first. I like chopping gerkins small and stirring them into potato salad, also grating a boiled egg on top, adding halved grapes, apple slices, walnuts broken into pieces. Haven't tried anchovies for ages - need to get some soon I think! All this sort of stuff makes a salad tasty without adding the calories you'd be dealing with if you poured a sweet salad dressing all over it, with the added benefit of containing actual nutritional goodness too
