I dont know what yo have, my rents are away, have nothing in the fridge. Had pizza the other day, Im hungry, i cant be arsed to cook anything as i have been wokring all weekened.

Im stuck.

 Why don't you pay fB to come round and cook something for you....I'd say 12.50 an hour would be a reasonable rate.

i also have no food in the house. the soup I had earlier really hasn't filled me up, neither did the cheesy naan bread at 3am.

i fancy a curry, but i cant be arsed to go get one.

unless i can order like a 10-ers worth, well maybe i can.

 Alachi in Old Hill, is good for a cut rate take away.

i just went and bought a 99p pizza from the corner shop. Think I'll chop a pepper, chili, and grate cheese on top  - it looks more like a round piece of bread with a bit of ketchup at the moment.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

What do you expect for 99p........ :shrug:

true. still a bargain.

i went for the curry, khyber all the way. lovley

Ahh that old trick! I get hthe 99p pizzas from Sainsbury's and whack pepper, tomato and cheese on. Decent sized meal for about £1.50  8)

I've been learning to cook now I know I'm off to uni.

Did garlic-roasted prawns in a provincale sauce on a bed of linguine last night, fucking lovely (albeit probably too expensive and time-consuming to do regularly as a student).

 My kid tells me pasta is the way forward....he uses a jar of Homepride pasta bake sauce though.

Pasta =  8)

Even a retard like me can come up with something edible

 When I was a student,  in our house we ate communally....cooking was done by rota,  I had fuck all idea, so picked up a few recipes from the birds. I had about three or four 1.  Cheese and potato pie,  mash spud with a load of cheese in bung in pie.  2. Meatloaf,  cook up mince and onion, pad it out with soya mince sub and bung in  a tin of condensed tomato soup...bake in oven.  3. Risotto....cook some rice, bung in tin of sweetcorn, mushrooms and any other stuff edible to hand. 4 Lentils on toast...cook some lentils sprinkle on toast (courtesy Neil from Young Ones)

 I vowed once in a job never to eat any of these again.

garlic roasted prawns on a bed of linguine  :D
i'd scratch that off the list for student cooking right now.
i'v managed to get my weekly shop (excluding beer) down to about £7.50
beans, soup, porridge, chicken, veg, eggs, bread. tis all you need.
start of my first year i probably did £20-25 a week on shopping but then realised it really wasn't worth it.
its all about chicken and veg every night  :|

After Mex's heads up, The Ghandi place is superb!

ye ghandis is pretty good, used to get take out from there when i was younger.

I never knew it was there until recently ish!

I still haven't decided which is the best chinese take out.

Greenmeadow chippy is the answer to that, Lady. Or Eldene.

Ghandi's the yellow signed take away only place a couple of doors from the Khyber?  If yes, then I agree very good food there.

I spent more on food in my final year of uni compared to the 2 years prior. I got a bit fed up of eating specialties such as super noodles on toast and taught myself to cook in my final year. I think it helped that we didn't own a microwave that year either.

Family sized pies make for a good meal. You can pretty much have one of them and that's your food done for the day. Just don't stick one in the oven and then fall asleep when you're drunk.

Too far!

I miss the Ruby in Cheltenham, best food ever!

im sorry but £7.50 for a week? I must blow £50 - £80 a week.  Cant eat frozen anymore, quite frankly started thinking about the shit I put in my body.  Since the turn of the year ive eat relatively healthy and feel much better for it

Peking House in Wootton Bassett.

Might try that for sunday then, cheers!

i'v never eaten more healthy than i do at uni.
dont buy anything in the frozen section (except peas and sweetcorn) and can honestly say i havent had a ready meal once since iv been here.
my uncle assures me that i could knock a few quid off the £7.50 with a load of lentils - that i could make into dahl- but i hate the wee bastards.

your ponce!

frozen veg, chicken etc is the same as fresh. In fact in a recent study they found that frozen veg is actully in some cases better for you as it is grown in season.

frozen mirocwave meals however are bad!

sometime mr cain your make me laugh!

I meant ready made food such as bbq chicken, chips, toad in the whole

Has Vickie got pregnant yet? we know its only time

thats alright then.

why bring in my missus?

For some reason that made me laugh profusely. Good work ash  8)

Doh (what a dunce)

If I didn't buy red wine and Activia yoghurts my shopping would be so much cheaper but I can't seem to sacrifice those things. I love Avocado and apricots too so doesn't help the bill.

  There are lots of pulses, that are decent cheap eating, if you can get a bit organised and have a bit of time.....chick peas...for making bad ass felafel.  Aduki beans anything that uses mince.   Butter beans for lobbing in stuffed vegetables....lentils or mung beans for dal.  Dried  peas for making thick soup. Mousaka, using kidney beans or borlotti beans.  All cheap....make you fart a lot though.

mexican style refried beans are lovely.

My wife likes butternut squash.  I do not trust it, as it is not butter, nor nut, nor squash.

My mum makes an ace Spicey Sweet Potato and Butternut Squash soup. Tasty as fuck and ace and chunky. I might have to steal the recipe.

they're great for mash - nice change from potato. and apparently they're a more complex carbohydrate so better for you. like wholemeal bread rather than white.

Same here!!

My shopping usually comes to about £20 for the week. Would probably be more like £15 if I didn't live in a place like Holborn, but I'm sure I could cut it down more. I don't buy too many ready meals though. In fact I had hardly any before I started revising pretty much every day

£20  fuckin' 'ell that's good - fruit and veg is £20 each a week
