Today’s dish of the day was Tesco healthy choice beans (with 30% less sugar than other beans 41p) and some Amoy noodles which are classically used for stir-fry’s.
Adding an oriental twist to the meal really did excite me and almost made me grab my backpack and head off into the great unknown but then I realised that completing this experiment was far more important so I then hurried back to the stove where my noodles were now ready after just 2min’s of cooking with the beans close behind.
I toyed with the idea of adding some other ingredients but I was now extremely hungry and so settled with the ingredients in front of me.
A high energy meal with bland colours and repetitive texture was now being consumed, this brought back depressing memories from last night’s meal (beans and pancakes) but a job is a job so it had to be eaten and besides with all the world hunger I would feel a little bit wasteful if its destiny was for the bin.
Even with the 30% less sugar in the healthy choice beans the flavor was the same as other beans I have tried, this leads me to believe that companies are putting too much sugar in beans for no apparent reason (I will have to look into this further)
The meal had its high points (very filling and extremely quick to cook) and of course its low points (slight sickening feeling and bad flashbacks of the pancakes) Tomorrow’s meal must be full of more flavor and possibly have a longer cooking time as I am starting to miss the preparation of food although ideas for new meals are becoming harder and harder.....
