    Nothings beats a good old baked pasta or risotto, just did baked pasta with tomato sauce, feeds 6 for about €3.

    I am wary of cheap chicken over here, its mass produced, anaemic and full of chemicals, probably the same as the stuff you get in the UK, though cloggers has a pretty bad reputation for battery farming.

        Yes. I was being sympathetic to the OP, but the intent still remains: norrahe is a great cook.

          You can make coleslaw for under 25p? You can't even buy a cabbage for 25p. You can make a portion of coleslaw for 10p but only if you end up with 20 portions...

              That's what I meant. I'd rather make a large batch than buy grim 25p stuff.

                    It's a make Suityou feel better about himself. I has the same conversation with Mrs MF last night over Lobster and a nice glass of Krug Brut Vintage 88. I think Suity was having Tescos own Scampi.
