Tonight it's Tesco Green Thai Vegetable Bakes out of the freezer.
With 'Baby' (i.e. small and tasteless) potatoes
and Brocolli (reduced to 22p).
The 'Bakes' are a load of aspirational, 'sophisticated' nonsense, and a fine example of How We Live Now....
The potatoes are 'New' (and 'Finest'), grown in a polytunnel in the UK, out of season - 'Wash Before Use'.....
The Brocolli is a 'Superfood', perfectly formed - Wash Before Use....
Where, oh Where did it all go wrong? Why am I eating this stuff? ARRRRRRRRGGGHHHHH.......

A post-mortem on the above meal reveals, avoiding all subjectivity and remaining strictly objective:
It was cr*p. The 'Bakes' came with discs of 'Thai sauce' which you had to put on top of the 'Bakes' during cooking. The discs were a congealed goo of something, and had nothing whatsoever to do with Thai cuisine. Neither had the 'Bakes' themselves. No Thai had anything to do with any of it, ever....
You who live in the backwardness of rural France may feel that you're missing out on something - no French supermarket would offer cr*p this bad. I'm able to confirm that it's not worth coming back to the UK to get hold of this stuff.
Tonight I shall dine on my own corned-beef hash - did you know that corned-beef contains 25% protein? Scrape the fat off the outside of it, and give it to the dog, then you're not eating anything particularly high in fat either...
Stick to basics. Hate Tesco. Revile modern trends.

Mmmmmm, lib, mmmmmm..... Not able to fault your Ham shank number...
Nor am I able to seriously criticise your flatbread indulgence. Except that I too will dine on flatbread, brought back by a businessman from Dubai, along with locally-produced houmus, and given to me out of human love, without the slightest sexual favour expected in return*, nor offered. Somewhere I feel a sense of one-upmanship over your flatbreads, without really knowing their provenance, but suspecting the hated Mr. Tesco as the likely source....
Notwithstanding this, both your dishes are examples of peasant cuisine, which I applaud, and which confirm me in my conviction that we should live like peasants, and eat like kings....
* But he's not slow to drink my malt in return...
pps: Are you absolutely, positively sure that you need a pudding, ever??

Upcoming is a stir-fry made from shredded vegetables and Quorm 'chicken'....
The vegetables are an industrialised convenience, pre-packed and ready to use for about £1.50 (from Tesco!). I hate Tesco. But must concede that they've got something right for me. Which starts to undo all my hatred - I hate them even more for them giving a me a reason to like them - I'd rather they just kept on getting it wrong for me, then I could be certain how hateful they are.....
Am warming to Quorm. Their sausages are more sausagey than sausage, and their chicken more chickeney than chicken. Pandering to the health-conscious as they do, they've got something right, at least from a business point of view, but I'm not sure that I'm eating like a king when I scoff their stuff......
