What's in your sandwich today?

Today's was egg mayo.... stinky! (on homemade bread though!!!)

 

Another peanut butterman:thumb:

Garlic sausage today --- but I do often work alone!

Sorry Snowbaby, mayo makes me feel ill just thinking (or writing )about it.:euw:

 

I'm lucky enough to have lunch at home.
Today was
Homemade cucumber soup
Homemade crusty bread
Homemade mackerel pate and salad from the garden.

I remember the days when lunch was - well what was lunch. Just another hour to work.

Anybody want any of those recipes, sing out. Very quick and easy.

 

Thankfully I am a stay home mummy... my wee girl doesn't moan about stinky egg haha!

 

Peanut fans (I'm one too) - have you tried making your own? It's incredibly simple and tastes so much better than the shop stuff.

500g roasted peanuts (I buy the uber cheap ones from Sainsbury's) whizzed in a blender, then add groundnut oil a little at a time, until it starts to thicken (similar to making mayo). Depending on whether you like crunchy or smooth, keep blending until you get the right consistency. Taste and add a little salt if you prefer. I also add a spoonful of honey to add a tiny bit of sweetness.

 

Here's the smoked mackerel pate JWK.
Put the following in the food processor
Quantities don't have to be exact

4oz smoked mackerel fillets (skin removed) - about 2 small fillets
7oz full fat cream cheese (small tub of Philly
Zest of a lemon
juice of 1/2 the lemon
4 teasp horseradish cream (gives it that extra kick)
Salt and pepper to taste.

Pulse to combine it all together.
Voila !

Lovely with some crunchy lettuce for a sandwich
or can be dressed up for the table. Good with roast beetroot.

 

And should have said, if you're feeling flush you can use smoked salmon instead of mackerel.
Or borlotti beans and some garlic - I like that one. But maybe not for work
