Sour Chicken

The title of this post is not referring to some new recipe I thought up.  It’s referring to the chicken I ate for lunch today.  I, everyone, am a person who eats gone off food!  (o_o)

I brought in a salad from home today as I have done for the past week.  I don’t like buying salads from shops because they are quite pricey and I don’t think a bunch of vegetables in some fancy dressing is worth £3.50, thank you very much.  Anyway, today’s salad was hot and spicy grilled chicken slices with runner beans, cucumber and green and purple leaves.  I’d tested the chicken last night when I was preparing the salad and it tasted alright, in fact, it tasted really good.

During lunchtime I tucked in as usual and noticed that the chicken had a very very slight sour taste but thought maybe it was to do with the combination of chicken and cucumber.  Why I thought cucumber would make chicken sour is beyond me, but that’s what I very cleverly deduced.  I ate and ate and it took three quarters of the salad before I finally admitted to myself that the chicken was off.  It wasn’t obviously spoilt but it didn’t taste anything like it was supposed to.  Then my stomach started little rumbles.  Oops.

Luckily, I didn’t get a stomach upset or anything but that was a real crappy lunch.

Food Diary

Lunch – Gone off chicken (haha) with runner beans, cucumber slices and green and purple salad leaves.

Dessert – One banana

Snack – One really old tangerine.  Yet another item of practically gone off food that made its way to my stomach.

Dinner – Farfalle alla Genovese: pasta with artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes and pine nuts in a creamy pesto sauce.  It rained extremely heavily here this evening and Victoria Station flooded, resulting in the station being closed for a few hours.  At going home time.  Sigh.  So GM and I went for dinner nearby instead of standing around.  He had a pizza and I had pasta.  My pasta was really salty but I liked the pine nuts.  Oh and remember yesterday I said I was going out for an Italian meal tonight?  We postponed that dinner because of the bad weather.  The planned Italian dinner would have been a lot better than the chain restaurant one that I did eventually end up having.  But at least it was hot food eh?

Dinner – 4 calamari rings

Snack – Some cherries

Drink – Peppermint tea

Drink – Diet Coke

Drink – Water

Exercise

None!
