Meals on Wheels... The chap who brings them to my house is so kind, that he leaves it on my front windowsill (the perk of living on a garden level), even if I'm not at home and forget to leave the tiny envelope with the money (€4 per dinner). It's very convenient, true, and I suppose the nutritious value is healthy etc., thou I can't say it's the top cuisine by any stretch of imagination. It's a long time now that I wasn't able to eat most kinds of meat (mind you, some of my friends are spoiling me sometimes with such a tasty plate, that I do eat it, even if I know I shouldn't!), but I love fish, and am supposed to eat at least some animal protein, so have a deal with the MoW driver/deliveryman that he brings the fish dinner once a week, whether it's on Thursday or on Friday.
Maybe it's time to simply show you what the meal looks like, and you can make up your own mind. It's always the same: fish in vegetables plus potatoes, and a dessert for later (the dessert might be a fruit jelly, or a custard, or a trifle, or some fruit topped with a blob of cream - to be honest, I haven't even seen today's one yet, so it's going to be a surprise for me too!).
Yeah, well, as I said - it's not exactly the top French/Italian/whatever-you-like restaurant... But it's food, and it's cooked, and it doesn't require washing up, so all one needs to do is just shovel it up without thinking too much. Maybe just so to be grateful to the people who prepared it, to help those - like me - who can't do even this little for themselves.... Thank you, kind strangers!
