My absolute favourite Welsh Rarebit "recipe" as a kid was fridge-cold
canned baked beans on toast and then melted cheddar over the top.

Tonight we are having some kind of chicken. I am not cooking but I did
see rolled chicken around butter on the bench. The smell of garlic is
very pungent. I don't know what veggies are being cooked either so it
will all be a big surprise

Beef stew coming here. Jun wants me to eat more, so she's trying to make
more American food for me. She sauteed some onion and garlic in EVOO then
added beef, cut into bite size chunks and water. I can smell it simmering
away. I see potato, tomato, sliced carrots and celery on the side board.
Don't know how she'll season it. I'll be ready in about 1-1/2 hours. ;-)

I used to feed my kids Beans on toast a lot. ...first heard about Beans on
Toast when we were stationed in England.

I hadn't heard of it until I started watching Britcoms. But I still didn't
know what kind of beans they were eating. For some reason I assumed it was
green beans.

Interesting! I have bought Heinz beans but I can't remember where.

Okay. I'll have yours then.

If I don't like something, I couldn't eat it if I were starving. I would
just starve.

That's because you've never been truly hungry (the starving kind of hunger.)
I hope none of us ever are.

No. If something is repulsive to me, I can't bring myself to eat it at all,
ever.
