It's dinner time... What do I want for dinner?? I'm not really sure, and on days like today I tend to go with a very British option... In the UK when I was growing up, we referred to this dinner as Picky Bits. It tended to be something I made with my sister when mum and dad were away, and now it comes under many guises... Picky Bits, British Tapas, a Picky Tea or the more straight to the point "We-need-to-get-everything-out-of-the-freezer-because-it-needs-defrosting" dinner... Today let me help educate you about the Picky Tea...
I am not really the best for making a good description of the Picky Tea, I'll pass you over to someone on Social Media, Star Holroyd and her brilliant video on TikTok for the best description...
Roughly though, a Picky Tea is about 80% Beige Foods, 15% Posh Veggies - which works out to be any salad veg that has had some kind of cutting done to it therefore making it "posh" and the last 5% is made up of things that make no real sense with the rest of the foods on the table, has been stuffed in the back of the fridge and will invariably be put back into the cupboard without being touched... But likeI said, listen to Star, she explains things better hehe...
80% Beige Food, 15-20% Posh Food "Any salad veg that have been sliced, therefore made "posh"", 5% makes no sense to the rest but has been hiding in the cupboard for over a year that is gotten out in the hopes that someone will eat it, although it is invariably put back into the cupboard to wait a little longer...
For my SL Picky Tea I've gone all out... I have Steak Fajitas with Salsa and Guac, I got a special Thanksgiving Pizza and Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers. There's fresh veggies and Texas Rolls and cheese, and I even found some tins of fish AND some Aunt Bessie's Yorkshire Puds in the freezer.
