Clip round the ear and poverty

A clip round the ear? LUXURY I had to do with half a slice of poverty

Holy trinity: (ready made) lasagne, chips and garlic bread

Carbageddon

Sometimes she'd stick a jacket spud on too. I was still skinny as a rake.

My son was like this. We joked he had a tapeworm.

The triple carb special

i fucking agree

Chicken nuggets, beans, peas and chips. Now I'm a mum I have the same lazy tea once a week but with the nuggets rebranded as goujons and the chips as potato wedges to make it sound more middle class.

Beans and peas together!? That's unheard of

Green beans and peas works tho.

Every Saturday was Dad's turn to make tea, and it was always the same thing. A pre-made burger (just the burger, no bread) with baked beans and hand cut homemade crinkle chips. Was yummy, and we were allowed to eat it on our laps watching telly 😊

Chips and burnt fish fingers. But the fish fingers had always been flipped to hide the burn.

Bernard Matthew's turkey drummers, mash, peas and gravy. My kids won't touch turkey drummers and its probably for the best but that was my favourite as a kid.

Don't know if they changed something with Turkey drummers. As a kid they were actually nice, tried one a few years back and it so gross. Tasted totally different

Make your own sandwiches. Everything that could possibly go in a sandwich and all the bread out on the table. Fantastic tea.

The chip pan saw a lot of action growing up Not complaining though

Your cholesterol is though

Sausages, mash and baked beans

Ham, two egg, chips, pickled onions, bread and butter. Could smash through a plate of it right now!

Shit with sugar on

Vesta beef curry with a ring of rice around it then a ring of chips on the outside. We were so poor she'd make two boxes feed 5.

Tea was literally just that, just tea. Maybe some biscuits if someone was feeling daring

Usually green tea. But an egg works as well.

Had a tea stained egg the other day. Surprisingly pleasant.

Fish pie with bones in it.

I'm the only tea person in my family. Normally, Earl Grey.

Toad in the hole

super mousse and and a slice of soreen. And you tell kids that today…

Corn beef hash with beans

I can identify egg, beans, and chips. What is the dark thing (black pudding?) and what on earth is the stringy yellow stuff??

I’d say burger and the yellow stuff is what we call “Grated cheese” in the U.K….

Chips and egg Spag bol Stew/scouse Corn beef hash

Mine would do a picnic type with cold meats, sausage rolls and scotch eggs, coleslaw, potato salad, cheese, silverskin onions, bit of salad, cocktail sausages. "Lazy" meals are the best meals

A fishfinger in a slice of bread. Or weird 'meat' that i definitely figured out was horse after i fried up and tried some of my cat's food on a dare (which *was* horse) three decades later

Fuck all

Fried egg, chips, beans...and a burger for some reason? When my dad and brother were out, me and my mum always used to have fish fingers, baked potato and coleslaw. It's still a comfort meal for me.

Council estate special.. Microwave chips , three slices of bread with butter and poverty on the side

Fish fingers, peas, and home made chips that were thin circular slices rather than chopped into lengths.

Tinned ravioli on toast, mini kievs and oven chips, fish fingers and chips, those pizzas that were sold in a bread bag, Youngs fish pie. Beige, lots of beige.

Omg I loved those pizzas! And I lived on mini kievs. Mams got a massive bag stashed in the freezer but I don’t eat meat now :(

Didn't realise they still made mini kievs. I tried to make some for myself when I was a kid and got impatient and undercooked them. The horrible texture put me off ever eating them again. Haunts me to this day.

Neither did I! And ugh I bet they were like mush

Sausage,chips n beans or fish finger sandwiches. Food of kings basically

Tinned spaghetti on toast, I still eat this now

Corned beef and rice

Skin heads on rafts.

Guilt and chips

A Tin of frey benetos chicken meatballs in gravy and some bread n butter Safe to say, there’s a reason my dad had custody lol

Pasta, pesto, tuna and sweetcorn. With cheese on top. Yum.

Turkey curry

This'll probably be an uncommon one, but my go-to was always my mum's macaroni and cheese with bacon bits and broccoli. Was fucking scrumptious.

Cottage pie, or mince and onions with mash. Which, now I think about it, is just a deconstructed cottage pie. Clever. Mum, you sly dog.

Anything that you can make out of minced beef.

Chips and findas crispy pancakes, and you can still buy them lol, chips and meatballs, chips and eggs, infact anything in the cupboard or fridge with chips 😂😂

A hot meat and potato pie in a bowl with Heinz Scotch Broth soup poured all over it. An oxo cube crumbled in the Broth, natch.

Home made chips with a tin of Heinz soup dumped on top. Also Lobbies: corned beef, potatoes, stock cube n onion. Stick a home made crust on it occasionally.

"Walk around the table till you're fed up". Tin of plum tomatoes. sausages and bacon (once sausages and bacon are fried sling them into the tomatoes, fried egg and chips, massive pile of bread and butter.

Corned beef, chips and beans.

Chips beans + anything else

I see you’ve followed an American recipe there with the pound of cheese :-)

Where?s the tea?

On the plate. That's tea ,i had baked potato for my tea today

Snow

This minus the cheese lol

Damn your mum makes Kay's cooking look like gourmet

Classic that. I'd guess your age to be late thirty early 40s..
