I used to be a very gassy child......

RTE are looking for amateur cooker jockeys, cooks, chefs, and others who cant cut it as waiters, I'm only joking, to take part in their new TV show, "Recipe for Success". They are looking for unique and interesting signature dishes that could be packages and sold to the masses, I assume by the good people at Supervalu.

When I was a vegetarian, a dark and strange time in my life, I used to have my own signature dish, "Peasy Beans". That's right peas and beans heated to within an inch of their lives and spooned on top of toasted bread. Classy boy. I doubt this is what they are looking for. I had "Peasy Beans almost everyday. This was a very gassy time in my life as well.

If you can create and cook something more exciting than "Peasy Beans" then you should give it a go. If you really want to try something new then, go on, treat the family to some "Peasy Beans" this weekend.

MMMMMMMMMMMM gassy.

bwahahaha - having consumed an entire can of vegetarian chili yesterday this post is not only timely, but soooooooo true.

I can't blame it all on the dogs.

Manuel said...

boxer: go ahead blame the dogs.....what they gonna do!?

Silverstar said...

I fear my home recipes that I make up resemble your peasy beans. No help from me.

Blondefabulous said...

I can make several wonderful dishes,....but if they want my recipes...I better get a rather hefty piece of the action. What? just a line of recognition on the package, youu say? Bah! nevermind then.

beans, beans, a natural food.
the more you eat, the more you poot!
the more you poot, the better you feel!
bean, beans with every meal!


i grew up hearing my grandparents recite this...must have been some sort of advertising jingle? *snickering*

Peasy Beans? I am tempted to blog about this.

PS: Was distressed to hear about the pancake disaster - what on earth did you do wrong?

If they produce your Peasy Beans segment, I can provide the sound effects.

My wife is quite a dish, Manny. Is that what they're looking for?

Megan McGurk said...

I kind of flinch at the rigidity which accompanies a recipe and prefer to eyeball the amount of stuff that goes into a dish.
I can't imagine using the same exact careful measurements each time I make something.
Maybe that's why I hate baking.

Curried Baked Beans are nice (I'm still a recovering student). I'd imagine the after-effect is similar though.

Channel 5 had a similar programme to this didn't they - with Tesco nicking all the good ideas for ready meals?
