Eat like a Man



What man doesn’t love a simple, full-flavoured dish that is easy to knock together and finished off nicely with a daytime cuppa, or an evening beer? Well, it’s not rocket science, but it doesn’t half taste good and best of all, it’s simple to build, quick to make and leaves a minimum of washing up in its wake. The job’s a good ‘un....read on for the top three man meals that do not involve a sirloin steak.

Your manwich needs you...

You heard. There’s a new sandwich in town, especially formulated to provide you with all your manliness needs. It is more than a sandwich. Forget polite bits of bread in triangle shapes and slices of cucumber. This is food for men. The manwich! After years of research into the subject, it has been concluded that what men really want from their sandwich is two hunks of buttered bread, a load of bacon rashers and a right good smearing of brown sauce. Tomato sauce is for those who don’t want hair on their chest, right?

The baddest pizza on the block:

This one is the perfect accompaniment to some sport on the big screen and an evening spent sofa surfing. Give it up for the pizza to end all pizzas. Easy as pie! Get a pizza base (who needs to spend hours making dough anyway?) and shove a wallop of tomato puree over it. Add to that a load of cheese, some spicy sausage, some jarred roasted peppers, some seriously hot jalapenos, some black olives and a bit of red onion and you will be in man-a-dise. That’s guy paradise for the uninitiated...

Something smells fishy...the seafood bloke burger:

This is a man burger with a difference; a brilliant hangover cure or a secret weapon to impress your girlfriend with. Get a couple of big, floury baps (!) and butter them. Fry up some onions and a couple of fresh tuna steaks and stick them inside when cooked. Add to that some cocktail sauce, a few capers and a bit of cheddar and you are going to be seriously stuffed.
Now, all that is left to say is - get into that kitchen and bon courage! Let us know which one is your top man meal and pass it on to your friends

Fresh fried filipino lumpia


Yesterday my wife and I had to make 100 lumpia for one of our friends who takes care of our lawn in our apartment complex. Filipino lumpia is a mix of ground pork, ground beef, chopped jicama, chopped garlic, chopped onion, chopped carrots, 1-2 eggs and salt and pepper to taste all combined and rolled in a fresh lumpia wrapper and sealed with egg white, then fried in oil. I hadn't made in it in about a year. The last time my wife and I did this we ended up making 300 fried lumpia. It's a big job. Our friend had a party up in temecula so he requested us to make them and he paid us some money to make them. My wife posted a picture of them on Facebook and before you know it, her friends were all commenting how yummy they looked. She even had one friend drive all the way from her house in San Diego just to get some from us because she was craving for lumpia. My sister commented so today I will cook some more and bring them to her. My wife's friend wanted us to make her 100 lumpia also for this Saturday so looks like I'll be busy.
