CHAT Double nickel - 55 years - birthday meal ideas

[SlipperySlope]

Pricey, but my idea of heaven...lobster and or crab legs. Carb friendly too!

 

[Toy Maker]

Happy Birthday young pup!

 

[packyderms_wife]

Congratulations on 55!

How about going out for a nice champagne brunch?

I wouldn’t have the foggiest idea where one would get such a meal here locally now. There used to be a place on the wes5 side of town it’s long gone now.

 

[packyderms_wife]

pancakes and omelets are fine but my vote goes to the Western Omelette but what about Waffles? Where's French Toast? And if I'm going for decadence; CREPES!

I had a western omelette and their famous pancake which is the size of a very large plate and almost an inch thick.

So hard to find crab legs any more....

Are there any British restaurants in your area? I'd kill for a real English steak and kidney pie! Or an traditional Cornish cream tea. Oh and sherry trifle! And a Pims No.1!!!

Mmmmm...

 

[AlfaMan]

I'll be 55 this year!

And I'll be 57 six days later. Figured out my diet already-the "seefood diet". If I see it and it looks good it's lunch time! I'll just double up on the metformin

I may splurge on that for my Birthday next month!

Happy Birthday (almost). Gosh you're young. I won't say how long ago I saw 55.

And I would have chicken parm, it's my favorite.

I think Shepard’s pie is a special events meal, this place serves mainly fish and chips, scotch eggs, spotted dick, and pasties.

 

[goosebeans]

Pasties are good. Haven't had any for years.

I need to dig out my gran's cook book. All this stuff is n there.

Old-Fashioned Beef Stew Recipe

This classic stick-to-your-ribs stew is the ideal project for a chilly weekend Beef, onion, carrots, potatoes and red wine come together in cozy harmony If you are feeding a crowd, good news: It doubles (or triples) beautifully.

My wife made me her outstanding beef stew last year for my birthday. I've had it before for my birthday, too. She knows it's a popular one with my birthday request. Then, pumpkin cheesecake!

 

[psychgirl]

You’ve got a lot of good options on this thread, girl! Lol!!
