Simple food and sunshine, secrets to good health.
Too often people get sucked into thinking that certain foods are passé. I cannot abide this kind of snobbishness, I want only food that tastes good and I don’t care if it is “so yesterday”. The most comforting feasts are usually those that are passed down from generation to generation, those that are tried and true and perfected beyond mere reliability to absolute certainty of pleasing results.
The meal above was our lunch a few days ago, toasted cheese sandwiches with Dijon mustard and mum’s homemade mayonnaise, and Heinz tomato soup, heated up on the stove with a spoonful of sour cream dolloped in. A feast made with little more effort than staring into the pantry and waiting for a meal to suggest itself with the ingredients present there.
Whilst I might feel embarrassed to serve it to guests, and you won’t find the recipe in a fancy book, (just as you won’t find the recipe for beans on toast or a boiled egg with toasted soldiers) this is the food that we eat on a regular basis. And for good reason too, it was utterly delicious, every morsel of it gobbled up and seconds suggested.
