what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

Wife and kids are coming back on Thursday. 24 hours long flight? This is what I want to make for them

  1. Daal
  2. Rice
  3. Bhuna Gosht
  4. Fried fish
  5. Full baked chicken
  6. salad
  7. Naan

will that be good variety for their taste buds so no matter what they feel like eating, its all covered. Maybe I should add some kind of pasta variety for the kids

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

If they have been to India/Pak then the kids can definitely use some mac n' cheese.

I say why not take them out?

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

Awww!

So what kind of foods do they like eating? What kind of foods do you think they really missed? Keep that in mind.

Nice list so far though. Though it's in dire need of a dessert or five! :D

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

Thats soooo sweet of you!!! I bet your glad they are coming home :)

Thats more than enough food there, and yes if your children like pasta, make it.

The feeling of having your family around you is something else
Insha'allah they will have a safe and pleasant journey :)

My longest journey was my pretty recent one. Los Angeles to Dubai direct.. 14 something hours… and the first thing I ate after landing in Dubai was Burger King ka whopper meal:jano:

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

lol^^

im super hungry after a long flight and can eat anything and evrthing!! :D

Yaar, they mabe tired and my not want to go out. Mac n cheese is a great idea for kids

Maraoush I know my wife. After a log journey, she feels like eating white rice and patleee daal. No fatty. spicy stuff for her.

They are not too keen about dessert, maybe I should buy chocolate flavor Haagen daaz for them

Thanks Xjatti, you are right, I should add pasta like mac n cheese

I can guarantee you that she will not want whopper at that time plus we dont get halal whopper here.

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

tlk you forgot one thing in ur list ........ thats CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAI - TEA , wifey would need tea if she is fond of tea. for kids, milkshake ll be good. do not give anything to eat with tea n milkshake or it ll kill their hunger.

in dinner or lunch you can make something like bhunna chicken ( i m not fond of other gosht) with naan n salad. I think thats it. do not over do as usually u dont feel like eating too much after long journey.

I wont to keep some variety in front of them plus I want to have enough food so she does not need to cook for at least 2 more meals. AFter that, I am sure she would be ready to take over the kitchen.

She is not fond of chai but if she felt like, I can fix a cup for her in a minute.

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

Wow ur gonna make all tht food

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

fish and chips for the kids and for dessert chocolate cake with ice cream

You really think I am a typical desi uncle who does not even know how to boil an egg, haan?

That as a whole meal?

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

if only all hubbys can be like tlk uncle :hinna: :daaghu1:

I got to say TLK I'm impressed, I read somewhere the other day stressed back woulds spells desserts and after a 24 hour journey they definitely gonna be stressed so what ever u do don't forget the Desserts

that’s so sweet. That’s a lot of stuff for you to make. My husband ordered pizza after my journey. He hates cooking :bummer:

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

Daal chawal…bas!! Itni lambi flight k baad kise shahi style khaano ka dil karega? :hehe:

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

oh for kiddies, fried fish.....btw, you should be asking them what they want to eat!

TLK uncle :hinna:

Got that CE. Makes sense. You are low in energy after journey and a little extra sugar is what your body might be craving :k:

That is fine Spiral. I am stil sure he is a greta hubby

CA, after I come back from long journey, even I enjoy Daal Chawal and Salad and Achaar. As at least during the journey, I am eating Airport food, and I am really missing simple homemade food.

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

Order take out, unless they went on vacation where desi food was not avilable, take out from a favorite local place would be much better.

Re: what you guys feel like eating after you come back home from a long journey

No no belle, that is the point. 90 % of the people feel like eating home made food after being away for so long.
