A slight TGTG 'speriment today: My local Carvery pub/restaurant does TGTG of two sorts: Carvery meat trimmings or Vegetarian carvery. The meat trimmings one is rare as hens teeth, but tonight I opted for the veggie option....
I didn't ram jam the box, but easily fitted 1.5kg of veg and gravy in there. I could probably have got it up to over two kg.

Tonights TGTG was a slight disappointment.
Veg from the Carvery of my local restaurant, again.
Last time, they gave me a plastic tray to self serve and I easily got 1.5kg in. Tonight, I hoped to get 3kg in with careful loading. It was not to be
BUT.... tonight, the server put the veg in for me, just taking on board my preferences.
It was still a belly busting portion of 1.04kg of well cooked veg for £3.29
Maybe they've wised up to greedy pigs like myself, or maybe it was an anomaly that I was allowed to self serve the first time or an anomaly that it was not self serve today.
This calls for some research. I will pop in at various TGTG collection times to observe which times and which server shifts are self serve. If any.
Prepping significance, if you think it's a stretch.... I can see that.:-
It's Simple good housekeeping and about managing food reserves and budget.
£3.29 for a kilo of well cooked veg is the kind of Value For Money that lets me afford to add to my food reserves rather than drawing down from them. If I can get the self serve option occasionally, then I hope to segregate the ingredients and freeze some.
Tonights belly buster got augmented by three sausages from a previous regular TGTG bag.
They go a long way.
