jackson 301 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 You can purchase quite a decent variety of Patak's products in 'B&M' and 'The Pound Shop' - cheap at the price. PS: Always on the look-out for bargains me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sneintongal 12 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 sorry to say i do not like any tinned mushy peas as once open they drop out in one gluppy mess,i either soak my own,but farmfoods frozen ones cook very well,they do taste just like the ones from the old central market stall,alot of the chippies do not have real mushy peas,even though they say they are,some are tinned,but we all have different opinions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jackson 301 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Radford, a pound of course me duck; everything a pound unless 2 or 3 for £1. However the other day I got 6 packs of curry flavoured noodles for £1 - tasty they were to. Went the next day to buy some more but they'd all gone - just shows lots more people like me are on the lookout for bargains. PS: Came across a terrific B&M today at Beeston. Massive it was, in the place where the old Sainsbury's used to be. Happy Shopping. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulus 541 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 What's a B&M?........................scoos my ignorents!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi Paulus, B&M's are extremely cheap and immensely popular supermarkets; there's one at Bulwell in the place of the old Woolworth's and also a huge one at Bulwell. Apart from an immense one in Barnsley I do not know if there are others across the country. PS: They are well stocked on most things including a decent gardening section.

.... 23 Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 I buy these in Lidl for about 13p a tin. Doused in vinegar and mint sauce they are just fine! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisB 150 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 I love B&M Bargains, I reckon it's the best of the cheap supermarkets. They've got branches in Hucknall, Ilkeston, Sutton and Mansfield As regards mushy peas, I like the sound of jacksons recipe, I must give it a try. I've tried a few tinned brands, Batchelors seem to have too much colouring, Crosse & Blackwell (in Asda) aren't bad and Harry Ramsdens are often so thick you have to thin them with water before you can warm them up.

Beefsteak 305 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Do they ship Only water Incidentally, B and M sell some cracking cheap fishing tackle and bait. (Some rubbish tackle too,) I got a load of floats, three different sets of pre tied hook/traces (5 in each, for Pike) two bags of Boilies, a bag of flavoured corn, a bag of Halibut pellets and two bags of Hemp seed for a tenner !! In my local tackle shop it would have been around the 35 quid mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dgbrit 258 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 All i can get 10 for 17 quid I save the packets for best Quote Link to post Share on other sites
systema 13 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 Try the Mayfower Curry Sauce (it is powder when you buy it) from B & M - tastes just like Chinese chip shop sauce. I cook mushy peas in a pressure cooker - loads at a time and freeze them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 "Our" greengrocer on Alfred St Central,\snip\ Did you ever know Monica Chandler from your area. I forget the name of her street but it was off Alfred St Central. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Commo 1,292 Posted March 27, 2013 Report Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hi Compo, unfortunately the name rings no bells, and there was no Family of that name on Comyn street when we were there. PS: Your garden is almost as good as mine, at least whilst it's under 2 feet of snow! You have done an amazing job, and I regret I have to say that I am guilty of the sin of coveting your garden!
