Guest Posted September 18, 2016 Report Share Posted September 18, 2016 Funny ,I lived on make do and mend dishes when I ventured into bedsit land.. Spring onion/scallions into mashed spuds- just to pep them up. Large tin of mackerel in tomato sauce,into an ovenproof dish- top it with leftover mash...cheap and quick when you've done a 12 hr stint at Gerrards! 1lb of sausage meat and and a packet of stuffing: fry the meat with a Spanish onion ,peas/sweetcorn,dollop of brown sauce..add stuffing mix and bake! Eat it on yer lap- great dinner for a quid or so. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same applies to my mam and she is 98 now! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I'm having a Tesco Toffee Sundae for dessert this evening, and being the saddo that I am, looked at the ingredients. Skimmed milk, water, whipping cream, Dextrose, Stabilisers, TetrasodiumDiphosphate, Sodiun Alginate, sugar, Chicory Fibre, Cornflour, Wheatflour, pork gelatine, Iron, Date Paste, Golden Syrup, ..... That's just a fifth of the contents. I was just wondering if there was any toffee in the bleddy thing. They are extremely yummy though ! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

crankypig 457 Posted June 19, 2017 Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Oh yuk! What a mixture beef ,cheese ,onions,and JAM,it looks like a load of leftovers scraped from other peoples plates. P.s.i once worked at a care home where the owner told us to scrape sauce,jam,and such off people's plates and put them back in the jars ...disgusting I didn't stay there long.
