Around Midnight last night, my 18 yr old Gorgeous Son decided a little snack was in order.
Just hours after eating a 'Huge' bowl of pasta and sauce.
Now let me guess what you're thinking? 'Beans on toast', a classic, or maybe mountains of 'Toast & Peanut Butter', or the favourite 'sausage rolls or scotch eggs'* combo which of course require no preparation or heating/cooking, also no plate, you know, get in & out fast, commando style....
Oh, but as a bit of a give away, don't forget to leave the empty packaging in the fridge....
Well, you would be wrong.....
This is what my Gorgeous Son chose as his Midnight snack......
.....
Honestly! SALAD....
This made me smile......
Please, don't be fooled into thinking it's a cereal bowl, ooohh no, it is a large, dinner plate size bowl!
It consists of the left over penne pasta, drenched in extra virgin olive oil, a tin of tuna, shredded lettuce & sliced baby plum tomatoes, all sprinkled with oregano & black pepper. Topped with half a container of coleslaw. I know this because he proudly told me!
He works in the Music industry, but I think he may have missed his calling.....should I send him Jamies (Oliver) way??..He-he
I suppose it could be seen as the 'Healthy Option' of midnight snacking....
*Scotch Egg: For people who may have no idea of what this rather strange, old fashioned English Picnic food is - It's a hard boiled egg, surrounded in pork sausage meat, dipped in breadcrumbs, deep-fried then eaten cold.
