#BlogLife918 - Paratha Vs Tortilla wrap Vs Pittas? Not exactly sorry

I'm really missing the egg roti paratha thingy's I used to make but Iceland doesn't have the wholemeal parathas or rotis so I'm going to get the wholemeal wraps instead.

I typically don't like these, they don't cook properly or taste of much but desperate times..

Maybe the recipes have improved? I'm trying the Slimming World version 5x £1.60.

A bit steep really, I don't know if they are thick or thin? But I just add butter and eggs.

I could be adventurous and add chicken kebabs or maybe beef something?

I think I just like it simple, the less the better it tastes, for me anyway.

I just remembered the turkey bacon strips, they would make a good addition.

Scrap that I got fruits instead, more of an offer 3 for £5 so for a change, I got plums, then grapes and strawberries lol.

It's usually the same thing and olives with feta cheese, although not so keen on that type of cheese, too dry.

Uh oh, the title is wrong, Iceland just called and said the wraps are expired so can't send it and there's no replacements, just the white version which I don't want.

So she suggested Warburtons soft pittas I think, I've already forgotten.

I can't remember if I tried it and wasn't so keen, why isn't more stuff in the brown bread variety? Ugh!!

And I just realised these will be small, I wanted to crack the egg over the large wrap, I can't do it with tiny pittas.

I might do a Zoom shop, they have rotis, parathas and wraps but not all in wholemeal.

I just toasted the egg on the pitta, it's a half and then you open it up, thin I would say.

Typical me, didn't realise I was out of spray oil for the press, so I used butter.

I have a feeling that really helped. Even though I grilled it well, it's like eating really soft toast.

It's tasty though with the ingredients, maybe on it's own, not so much.

I put an egg, olives, feta cheese, butter from the press and even the feta mixed well with it, I wasn't sure it would.

I was going to add more but it would have been too much for me.

But as there are only 4 in a pack, later on I might do a Zoom shop, I'm kinda struggling to eat this, even though I really like it.

My stomach is churning and not from nausea or cramps, it's all the emotions I'm feeling.

I think though because I like BB/P I'm sharing way more than usual.

I even said that my instinct is to push you away, not because I want too, it's my usual habit when really stressed as I have to support myself through illness/family stuff and it's always been that way.

Arghh forgot to add, I don't usually buy butter, it's like salt, an addition that isn't necessary.

But due to having a dry wrap and cooking with the press, I wanted it.

I bought Willow, an alternative to butter, rich and creamy but not overly so.

Oops it's more for cooking not spreading but I wanted something small and cheap as I won't use it, apart from in sandwiches.

It's got vegetable oils and buttermilk and is lower in fat. It was £1.35 for a 350g block.

I am so full. Iceland said another weird thing to me, that if I didn't like the tissue substitution, they would re-deliver the normal one tomorrow lol.

I said No thanks, I didn't trust them to re-deliver ha.
