ICTJohnboy Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 A few years ago I couldn't walk past a a chippy or a curry house without nipping in for a quick one. Now I find it difficult to walk past a tapas bar. Typical fayre would include Tortilla Española – Spanish Omelet, Gambas al Ajillo – Garlic Shrimp. Tigres – Mejillones Rellenos – Stuffed Mussels, Croquetas de Jamón – Ham Croquettes, Calamares a la Romana – Fried Squid Rings. Washed down with about half a gallon of cheap Spanish wine. Fairly healthy, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if you're trying to avoid food that isn't that great for you, what do you eat that's healthy and tasty? In short, what do you c**t's eat?

When I was out of work for 4 months during the crash circa 2009 I cut right back on my food outlay.....remember feeding my Sister, her husband and myself for a weekend for less than £20.
