What do you say when asked ' Whats for breakfast/tea/dinner'.

I have always said gruell Laughing

This morning OH was on the phone to his mother and she asked what I was getting him for his breakfast. Evil or Very Mad

Gruell, I replied, but when she asked how to make it I didnt know.
So for anyone else who wants to serve gruell to their OH here is a recipe Laughing

2 teaspoons of flour
1 teaspoon of salt

Boil 1 cup of water. Seperately drip water on flour and salt untill it makes a thick paste. Add paste to boiling water. Stir to make a semi-fluid consistency. Strain to eliminate film and serve warm puke

Stain to eliminate film just makes you want to go and try it, I think not Laughing

When I use to ask my daughter (when she was about 5+) what she wanted for dinner she would come up with "I don't know!" So I would say OK, "I don't knows" coming up...Is that with or without a pudding? And then would rustle round the tin cupboard as if looking for "I don't knows"...

She got what I could find Smile
