What are you Eating/Drinking?

[kolio]

Sorry for the long wait for a response, but yes I was on a trip for national archery in Louisville KY. Fun trip if you ask me 👍

Anyways, for lunch today I picked up a sandwich from Subway. Steak & pepperjack cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, jalapeños, and spicy mustard with raspberry tea to wash it down

Very nice!

Been there once myself a few years ago. 👍

 

[Adamgp]

Dinner was grilled cheese sandwiches with Spam slices and Tabasco.

Then a caramel pretzel Klondike bar.

 

[FoolKiller]

Dinner last night was a toasted ham and Swiss with banana peppers, sundried tomatoes, and garlic scapes.

 

[Lain]

I'm peanut butter jelly.

Last night I had generic-brand mac & cheese for dinner.

 

[Adamgp]

Chicken drumsticks with jerk seasoning, and a couple root beers.

My 7 course meal tonight.

Are you really going to drink all seven? I don't think you should, since it's not the healthiest.

My parents, my brother, and my sister all went out to Red Lobster for dinner. I ordered the lobster stuffed shrimp, which was a special. Very good indeed.

Thank you for your concern on my health The87Dodge. I'm not an alcoholic and I didn't drink all seven in an hour. I spread them out over the evening (4hours).
I was happy and healthy. I was parked on my butt in the living room. Safe and sound.
The hotdogs I had earlier were probably worse for me than the beer.


Cheers

Half a Francesinha for lunch.

Extra beer sauce was also brought along to the table, since these dishes clearly weren't deep enough for the sandwich.

 

[Fat Tyre]

Just cooked this Bun No Xao. The photo looks awful haha but it tasted really good according to my wife.

 

[Adamgp]

I'm home sick today, don't feel like eating much. So I'm about to make some Campbell's chicken noodle soup for lunch.

That's good for, like, three laps.

[Fat Tyre]

Thanks.

Nope had 3 for the whole race.

 

[Adamgp]

Brunch was the usual S.O.S. that dad requests every Father's Day.

Finally ready to eat again, so about to light some coals to grill a steak and some mini sweet peppers. Also picked up some corn muffins.

 

[Adamgp]

Grilled up a couple habanero, tomato, bacon brats for dinner last night, which were very good.

Didn't seem too spicy when I ate them, but wow that was a fire that burned through the night.

 

[35mm]

These are so good.

So my wife is doing this charity thing for refugees where she's raising funds and at the same time to create awareness she can only eat this week what a refugee on average would eat. So she only has a tiny bit of lentils and rice and a smidgen of oil and it has to last until Saturday.

Therefore I'm trying to have my dinner before she gets home but today that was not possible, I cooked this whole pizza and ate it right in front of her, poor thing was salivating.

That looks really good too...

Today I have mostly been drinking:

Irn Bru is (in)famous for its perplexing appeal in Scotland, and for its supposed elixir-like qualities - particularly as a hangover cure. While there are those out there who dismiss this as a myth, I can honestly tell you that it is not... an ice cold can of this stuff is about as good as it gets when other options are not available (e.g. getting drunk again, going back to bed, or a frontal lobotomy). I'm on my second can after a heavy night out with my mate from the US last night, and all I can say is: thank [insert deity name here] for Irn Bru.

 

[wvmgmidget]

Tomato basil soup and spaghetti and eggplant parmesan. I also had a side salad and some bread, but I forgot to take pics.

Thanks!

By the way I thought you had posted a fictional type drink like "Booty Sweat" from Tropic Thunder, I'll have to check whether it can be found in Australia. My hangover cure (although rarely happens) involves usually puking my guts out , drinking tons of water and swear not to drink again.

I drink that stuff at times for the F1.
Nice sweet fruit like taste.
But being imported it is not that cheap.

 

[Omnis]

Nice big romaine salad, olives, tomatoes, croutons, fresh made balsamic vinaigrette (olive oil, balsamic vinegar, dijon mustard, salt and pepper)

Salmon sandwich w/ mershed perturders and normandy costco veg. It's teriyaki glazed salmon (50ml sake, 25ml mirin, 25 ml kimlan dark soy, tsp sugar) on a whole wheat bun.

I'm sure you can get it in Australia, but it was quite hard to find back in '95 when I lived there for a bit. I would imagine it is more easy to find nowadays, but my recollection was that it turned up in some pretty random places - usually a business run by an expat Scot, and as @Grayfox just said, it was expensive!

It can be found in the imported A. K. A speciality foods aisle.

It's made in Scotland from girders!

A half litre bottle from Greggs sorted me out yesterday afternoon. Dehydration was taking hold & even though it wasn't hangover related I knew which magic Bru I needed.

I don't know how true it is but I've heard rumour that Scotland is the only country in the world where Coca-Cola isn't the most popular soft drink. Irn Bru being the reason.

There's a version with a white lid instead of blue. I imagine that it's sugar free & probably pointless.

It certainly used to be the case that Irn Bru outsold Coca-Cola, but I don't think so any more. Ever since they scrapped the deposit scheme on the glass bottles, Irn Bru has lost a bit of its appeal. When I was a student, a bottle of Irn Bru was 60p, and you got 20p back by returning the bottle. My flatmates once had 9 empties and said they could get 3 full ones with them. I told them it was actually 4, and they mocked me for my apparent lack of basic arithmetic skills. Of course, they were forgetting that the 3 bottles they could get with the 9 empties could themselves be used to get another one - hence 4 in total. And yes, the sugar-free Irn Bru makes baby Jesus cry.

I moved here as a wee lad in 82 and at that time it was nigh on impossible to find which wasn't a good thing for a young boy.
Nowadays as you assumed it's pretty easy to come across, where we are anyway. Not unusual to find it in one of the two larger supermarket chains Woolworths.

Some nightclubs even sell it as it's apparently popular with vodka.
