Paella for 12. Ingredients: rice, chicken, pork, meatballs, green beans, lima beans, red peppers and tomato juice. The presentation could be better but it was very tasty.
BTW, some people and children use a dish but it is usually eaten directly from the paella pan with a spoon. Imaginary lines are set like a pie graph.
Tinned chicken noodle soup isn't very nice as the noodles are all too thick and soggy. The stuff you make a pint at a time from a packet is nicer, or those Polish chicken super-noodles that make a big bowl of soup too.
Blue Dragon tinned Won-Ton Soup doesn't look that special, but it is quite good if you can get it. Or try mixing one of those small tins of oxtail with another of cream of tomato. Chuck in some chopped hot dogs or better yet Bockwurst too.
Occasionally I have a cup-a-soup at work alongside my lunch, it's really more a drink than food but it seems to makes me feel a bit more full than if I just have something a bit lame, like a sandwich.
Chicken noodle probably is my favourite, though the bits of noodle tend to stick to the spoon rather a lot. Minestrone cup-a-soup is the hardest to cook as you have to make sure the croutons reach optimum turgidity without losing their crunch and becoming soggy. Then snaffling them all up at that point and just being left with soup to slurp.
That paella looks nice (and no, I'm not counting the rice grains..! :p). Looks like it's being eaten outside, wish we could do that here but it's flippin' freezing today..

my local tesco sell blue dragon stuff (and we have a wing-yip and the other one locally also) , have world food in my local extra. also the polish stuff, I do notice a lot of it's pork based. even irish stuff like cidona :D
can't be doing tomato soup, makes me retch the smell of it.. even though I eat pasta sauce, I don't like raw tomato's either.

The Knorr chicken noodle soup is nice, it's dried and you add it to a pan of hot water. The canned stuff isn't very food and it tends to have sweetcorn which i don't like.
For Cup-a-Soup mine has to be supermarket brand tomato & vegetable with croutons. Though some add those noodle rings from the minestrone, which isn't right. A creamy Golden Vegetable is good too. Ainsley Harriott's Hot-and-Sour Cup-a-Soup is pretty tasty, just not very filling.
Thanks for my 3 awards!:grin:
I've not posted anything for a while as i've forgot to take a photo till i'm halfway through, i'll try and post over the next week or so.
Most Irish Saucer eh? That'll do some of my ancestors proud :D
Not as good as last years award though, I got a really good one then for my Albondigas :D
I haven't posted many saucers recently, mainly cos' I've been eating a lot of crap lately, and I haven't had anything worth taking a pic of, either that or I've scoffed it already and then thought to myself ARSE! I should've took a picture of that! :lol:
Haha, thanks for my 'most pacmaniest' award! If I'd know that there was an award going for 'most Beano' I would have submitted this one from last February for judgement:
I call this dish "Saucisses et pur?e avec jus de oignons, 'Beano style'.". That's my daughter about to tuck into it.
Funnily enough I had bangers and mash last night, but it didn't look as nice as the one in that pic. My mashed potato never seems to have the ability to hold a sausage firmly in place. (Erm, Oo-er..? - Ed)
I also discovered that I'd run out of mustard too, so the whole event was a bit of a disaster.

Last time I ate something resembling that I regretted it painfully.

Paella for twelve you say?...
:p
Then we shall have an almost clinical fairness when it comes to portions :p
:lol::lol::lol:
I would definitely steal you some meatballs.
+1
hence why I've gone to food that I think is tricky to count... (not really Morkin, I ran out of other things that I'd already cooked)
chicken noodle soup I had a while ago, never had that before..think I'll stick to oxtail instead.

What's that Ma? Rum Truffles for breakfast? Must be christmas!
Brilliannnttttttttt!
These have sort of worked, I tried a no cream recipe, used lurpak spreadable which promptly separated out, added 4x the amount of rum.
Like biting into a lump of butter, but that's nice isn't it?

You've also highlighted yet another award for zx1 - fried egg most resembling Cyprus.
I call this dish "Saucisses et pur?e avec jus de oignons, 'Beano style'.". That's my daughter about to tuck into it.
i know, it's a spoon for the mash and fingers for the bangers. :-P
I also discovered that I'd run out of mustard too, so the whole event was a bit of a disaster.
Yeah, I always use either mustard or horseradish for that little extra kick.
I think the one I got for my Albondigas was a similar awrd to that one? :lol:
I almost took a saucer pic yesterday, but I ended up eating something different ot what I was going to photo, so I didn't.
Haha! My fried eggs are hit and miss, sometimes the yolk bursts and other times it's ok:smile:
