What are you eating at Easter?

Marianne72

Having little energy, I'm going to make tiffin for Easter - an easy, no bake fridge cake. As it contains chocolate and biscuits [ginger nuts are very nice in this] I'm going to try not buying easter eggs. I'm hoping to freeze some of the chicken pie I baked today [exhausted after all the work!] and might have that with roasties and broad beans.

Incidentally, does anyone know why the latter seem to have disappeared from the supermarkets? And you never see them or peas in the pod in supermarkets. I must find my nearest farmer's market.

  • These sort of occasions often cause problems in our household, for what is basically the traditional Sunday Roast.

    I really struggle with vegetables or joints of meat, the textures are just too weird. Im starting to struggle with looking at part of a cooked animal sitting on the dinner table. I seem to be changing, the whole smell of it all being cooked really makes me feel ill. The thought of a huge plateful is horrible, it’s the build up to it and a different type of day.
    There will most probably just be my wife and I, she loves a roast dinner, hopefully we can compromise, I would prefer a good lasagna and wild rocket. I know lasagna is meat, I seem to manage processed meat at the moment.

    Might try and eat out, we can then choose different meals, then there’s the worry of too many people and noise, these occasions can lead to the, “ you just don’t try anymore, you make it all about you.” I used to mask with alcohol, I don’t want that anymore.  

    I most probably just sound silly and too demanding, sorry to go so deeply into what is a simple question.

    I did hear some mention Lemon drizzle! now there is heaven on a plate!

    A roast dinner is one of my least favourite meals, being veggie I always get the same questions about what I'm going to eat, at least nobodies told me I can't be veggie at xmas or easter.

    A walk and a sandwich sounds good to me.

    No indeed they should not. And I hope you get others to cook for you this holiday.

    I've been told that before, people can get really offended at what they see as a national dish being refused.

    I don't mind cooking I'm just not going to make a big fuss if there's only me and Mum, we eat well everyday all year. I just wish I had access to better ingredients and more reliable access too. If I was on my own, I'd probably live off rice and dhal with a few veggies, soup and salad and some pasta.
