I remember how we used to cook back in the flat in Kilbirnie. Lots of dishes based on mince because that was one of the few things we could all agree on eating. You'd always start the same way: oil, garlic and onion in the wok.
Sometimes we'd get flash food like butter chicken or lemon chicken or a roast. Sometimes we'd order pizza or get fish'n'chips. Pretty ordinary flat type food I think except that we hardly ever had vegetables.
I discovered in that flat some fundamentals:
I don't like macaroni cheese. Unless it's macaroni cheese bacon capsicum mushroom sun-dried tomato.
I love potato goo. (Mashed potatoes mixed up with butter mustard cheese bacon capsicum mushroom, etc.)
Butter chicken is better with lots of sauce. Reheated butter chicken is awesome.
You will crave fresh vege if you don't have it for a while.
Some fish'n'chip shops will cover your pineapple fritter with sugar and cinnamon like a donut.
