Do You Have A Favourite Quick Meal?

[mawnansmiff]

Having just had poutine explained to me on another thread, I got to thinking about quick meals and how much variety there must be around the world.

For me, the ideal quick meal would be beans on toast with grated cheese on top with a generous sprinkling of Tabasco sauce.

The bread must be thick sliced, toasted on both sides and generously spread with salted butter (NOT margarine), Heinz beans (NOT HP or any other brand), grated mature cheddar and green Tabasco sauce (red Tabasco is fine) and that my friends is my way of having beans on toast!I

So folks, what is your preferred quick meal and why?

Regards,

Jay.?

When I need something quick to keep me going, I'll chew down some olives, some slices of ham and some pickles.
Alternatively I'll have some fat, greek yoghurt with honey and müsli.
Or some leftovers from the fridge. Anything goes, really.

I guess 'quick' is a relative term, but I can usually fry up a nice schnitzel fairly quickly.

If I am making lunch for the kids and don't have time to make something for myself, its usually cereal for me.

Slice of ham, smear cream cheese on the ham, then roll a pickle up in the ham. Sounds gross but try it!!

Egg salad and tuna fish on toast.

Sounds good. Do you heat the beans or cold right out of the can?

I do like to dip Ruffles potato chips in beans (pork n' beans).

In the words of the late great Warren Zevon "enjoy every sandwich".
For a quick bite a sandwich can't be beat (IMHO) and are neverendingly versatile and practical.

Some of my favourite quick lunch for one sandwiches are:
*Mayo, ham, and mustard on rye.
*Butter, fried egg and Habanero Tabasco on white.
*Mayo and sliced banana on white, sounds gross but is awesome.
*Butter and chili roasted peanuts on white is also a guilty pleasure of mine.

Wow Scott, I can't imagine eating that meal with cold beans

Some interesting responses coming up here just as I had hoped. I can't say that I would eat any though

As a kid I remember my late daddy was often preparing this Beans on toast for me and my kind brother,says it was English standard,Thanks for the reminder, I shall give this a go, perhaps my favorite quick meal is 'Spaghetti Aglio I Olio'
its a simple Italian dish of garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese tossed with cooked pasta,simple as that

Nothing is better than eternal life. And a Ham Sandwich is better than nothing. So,,, a Ham Sandwich is better than Eternal life.

I do that myself, only I use green onions instead of pickles.

A fried, thick sliced, bologna sandwich, with cheese and Weber’s horseradish mustard.

I have dipped potato chips in room temperature beans right out of the can...sort of like a bean dip.

BLTs are pretty quick if you have everything on hand. Here in the South, during the summer (tomato growing season), a tomato and mayonnaise sandwich is pretty common among rural folk. And pretty damn good. But it has to be fresh homegrown tomatoes. Store bought ones won’t cut it.

Store bought ones won’t cut it.

It's like theyre two different things altogether.

My favorite quick meal is Micky D's..

 

[briarbuck]

For "quick", I typically will do eggs or some type. My kids bought me "the "Egglette" a few years back and I use it all the time. Perfect poached eggs in 10 min. Brown toast and a thin slice of cheddar...boom.

Fried spam lettuce tomato and mayo

Slices of summer sausage stacked with sharp cheddar, with some Kalamata olives on the sde.
