Most meals in our house usually cost about £1 or less. Today, I splashed out on something a lot more expensive. I try, as much as possible to only buy British grown, reared and produced food. Yesterday, I managed the home grown but not for any where near £1. Lidl had asparagus from Lincolnshire. I made the Hollandaise sauce, poached a free range egg and gently cooked the asparagus. The results and how we ate it speaks for itself. Utterly delicious and just to prove I'm not a tightwad every day..........we splashed out on a delicious treat, this light supper was under £2 and certainly made a change from poached egg on toast.
Much love,

Tasty!
ReplyDeleteI was allways told "a little what you fancy does you good"
ReplyDeleteImagine what that would have cost you in a smart restaurant and you wouldn't have got anywhere near as much Asparagus.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I would call a 'frugal posh meal'.

I adore asparagus but my husband does not like it at all so I can't bring myself to buy it unless it is reduced to silly money. I've been trying to grow it and have planted some each year for the past three years but not having any success whatsoever - it just not come up the next year. Any of you readers got some tips for growing it, please?
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed a lovely treat.
That looks very tasty.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my post yesterday.
I'm making homemade hummus and butter on my blog today.
Forgot to ask, will you be taking your little fluffies with you on holiday?
ReplyDeleteMmmmm... looks lovely x
ReplyDeleteI got to like asparagus when in Germany and now love it as a treat, that husband doesn't like! He would eat it as soup but I think it is a waste, even though asparatus soup is wonderful too.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog Foogs.
