What have you eaten today? (Low carb forum)

So far I've had 2 low carb crackers today, one with liverwurst and a hot chilli sauce, one with butter, cheese and marmite. Evening meal will likely be a low carb wrap with a mixture of vegetarian shawarma, onion, mushrooms and bell pepper, with cucumber, cherry tomatoes, garlic sauce and smokey sriracha on top. And there's always a midnight snack, not sure what it will be yet.

Mainly mentioning my food to disguise my rather off-topic question. It's not about diabetes or a low carb diet, nor about what I have eaten. It's about what my non diabetic friend wants to eat next week...

She asked me to ask you (with an added "if it is allowed"), because she figured she'd find her answer in a group of people from the UK and she knows I happen to be active in just such a group of people. At least it's about food so I thought this thread was the most logical place to ask.

She watched the Great British Menu on BBC2 yesterday, and apparently there was a vegetable dish, possibly from the North East but she can't find it on a Google search because she isn't sure about the name. She says it sounded like pernackalty.

So, what does she want to eat and what's the best recipe if you know it? Thanks in advance!

It is probably Pan Haggerty. Loads of recipes on line. It is a simple, homely dish of layered veg. I dare say the Chefs made it far too complicated.

was it a panaculty? If so, it must have been a veggie version? Or a cheffy version...?

Evening all.

Very long walk today and started off a bit late, so my OMAD ended up being 25 hours after yesterday’s dinner.

Food was a carnivore pizza - base made of blitzed awfully posh pork crackling, grated mozzarella/cheddar and cream cheese. Topped with more cheese, pepperoni and Zywiecka.

Morrison’s visit planned for tomorrow morning.

@Brunneria what do you do with your lamb ribs? Do you marinate them in something? May change up my recipe.

I don't think so, her husband doesn't eat meat so I'm guessing a vegetarian recipe, and she said it looked low carb so I'm guessing no potatoes.
But she has a couple of things to google now with your panaculty and @MrsA2 's pan haggarty :)
 
Evening all, the normal black coffee and TWAM this morning.
A load of mushrooms in the fridge cried out to be made into soup so that was lunch.
An afternoon of stupid mindless snacking followed: Montezumas absolute black ( about 15g) a handful of almonds and something else, can’t remember what though.
Dinner was smoked haddock loosely based on this recipe: https://www.livingchirpy.com/smoked-haddock-with-creamy-tomato-pepper-sauce/
It was very nice. 2 glasses dry white then the other half of the Montezuma’s 30g chocolate bar.
Quiz night tonight. We’ve lost the last 2 so hope to fare better this time.
 
Evenin' All,

B: scram eggs and sausages,. Mr B had the last of the pumpkin chai latte, and pronounced it something he would enjoy again.
L: tinned salmon and crab in lemon mayo with black pepper.
D: will be a Goan chicken curry. I will (incongrously) have it with Lidl protein noodles, and Mr B will have it with chicken curry.

A casual inquiry has demonstrated that unless Mr B is hounded almost daily, he 'forgets' to take the Vit D, K2 and C that I have asked him to take during COVID.
He now feels suitably bullied and hassled and nagged.
I will diary the next occurance for Wednesday next week.

@Goonergal
I am a plain lamb rib person, just AFed with salt. But then I tend to put a teaspoon sized dollop of summat on the plate for dipping.
This could be garlic pickle, mango chutney, my lc cranberry sauce, mint sauce, kimchi, chipotle paste, or whatever else takes my fancy. Last night it was Gheeta's Mango Chutney, which is less about the mangos and more about the heat. :D
 
Hi guys
Not finished eating yet but I know what will be having for pudding later!
working all day on my paid work so stuck inside on PC - needs must.
Breakfast one slice bacon,egg and half a toasted chaffle
Lunch cheese - vintage cheddar and Stilton - with sticks of celery
Mid pm got an urge to have a 65% supemilk hc choc baton from fridge and clearly bit it too eagerly as broke a tooth - oh no not in lockdown no dentistry on offer! Good news is no pain but more work to add to my dentists to do list!
Dinner hm chicken curry with Corriander and mint raita served with half slice of livlife lc bread toasted (online shop arrived this am from Waitrose and included a small livlife loaf) along with a couple of soda waters with gin ice and lemon made some lc lemon puds earlier will be having one with a few English strawberries in a bit !

Thanks, that’s given me an idea.
 
Breakfast: my usual low carb coconut ‘porridge’ with strawberries and cream washed down with a black coffee.
Late morning: black coffee and White choc phd bar
Late Lunch: one left over roast chicken drumstick followed by low carb brownie, coffee chia pudding and LC chocolate granola.
Dinner: cheese stuffed mushrooms, leafy salad, coleslaw and pork scratchings followed by SF jelly, cream and Vanilla and raspberry LC granola.
 
FBG 10.7 after my beany stew and fish yesterday evening put it up to 11.0! Quite surprised at that.

Breakfast strawberries and cream.
Lunch - more veg broth but felt a bit hungry in the afternoon and had some cocoa with cream rather than tea. BG up to 12.7. Must be the cocoa.
Evening meal - was going to be bacon, egg and black pudding but I realised that the white fish that Ms V bought for me yesterday was on its use by date today. I did say that any white fish would do - unfortunately it turned out to be cod, which is probably the only white fish I don't like. Still, I coated it in coconut with some curry powder and fried it in butter. Served it with a green salad. The coating was fine but the cod was a disappointment.
BG currently 8.8. Better than yesterday at least.

Breakfast 2xCWC, nut granola, 2 eggs scrambled with butter.

Shopping trip on my bike. 9 kilometre each way. Prefer the back roads route even if it is slightly longer. It did seem very crowded in the supermarket. What happened to only 25 people in the store? Lockdown officially ends on Monday, but really it is already gone.

Lunch. Avocado, tomato, cheese and basil with lettuce and radish. 2 glasses of water and cup of tea.

Afternoon was wasted tidying the garden. Rumbling thunder turned into a deluge which has destroyed the drive we had laid in February, washed away much of my vegetable garden, flooded the barn ( where all the tools, ride on mower etc are kept)

Am grateful it didn't make the final couple of centimetres to get into the house, but when i look at the mess. Have no idea where to start clearing up.

Pulled myself together. Made tea.

Dinner: pork chop, already cooked, with cauliflower rice, green beans and onion gravy, also from yesterday. Water and wine.

Comfort food. Made myself a KC chocolate mug cake. Had it with raspberries and cream.

Second glass of wine also
First pic is about five mins after rain started.
You can see driveway and gate.
Others less than an hour later

@SlimLizzy

get some sandbags immediately. You can make them yourself, if necessary, with plastic bags/sacks and loose earth. Get then around the doorstep to stop the water getting in if you have another flood.

had v similar to your flood happen to my house in Wales. Terrible helpless feeling watching it happen.

have a hug

Food today:
think I will skip B
Lunch will be pulled pork
D will be Goan chicken curry

Oh @SlimLizzy - big hug coming your way. I am so sorry you are having to go through this on your own. I agree with @Brunneria 's idea about sandbags. When I was in a similar situation in 1997 my husband dug a soakaway trench a few feet away from the house and use the dirt to fill the sandbags - and we've had to do it again a couple of times since. xx.

Breakfast: Usual Sunday brunch - chaffle, 2 fried eggs, mushrooms, 100g baked beans
Lunch: Actimel drink
Dinner: beanspriuts, fennel, pak choi and red pepper stirfry with crispy tofu
 
Yesterday bed 6.5 FBG 5.5. @SlimLizzy - hugs xx what a dreadful thing to happen and an awful thing to deal with. You deserved that comfort food.
Yesterday was my best day in a long while despite the change in the weather. It suddenly turned cold, very windy and very heavy rain. Today after a cloudy start we're back to sunshine. Good result with the Morrison's order yesterday. Only changes were a tasty chicken for the free range one and peppermint rennies rather than spearmint for Hubby. It was an early delivery- due between 9 and 10am and he was there 8 30am. I'm used to them being early so I was up and organised anyway. Hubby made me my chicken broth which us certainly helping me.
B. After the Morrisons delivery TAG and a couple of my latest Nairns cracker find with a couple of Dairylea triangles. I was a bit heavy headed first thing but it gradually cleared.
L. A clear chicken broth (made by Hubby) and a slice of freshly made skinny bread (made by me).
D. Half the broth had now progressed (thanks to Hubby) into a Vegetable Chicken & "Rice" soup. The rice was actually 2 bags of my cauliflower rice from the freezer and it works really, really well. Hubby had come to the conclusion that Jewish Penicillin (as Jewish friends have always called chicken soup) would benefit me. So dinner was said soup and 2 slices of skinny bread. Later I had 1/4 of a large tub of Skyr.

Got loads of soup left so will be consuming more today (Sunday) before packing freezer portions.
