Hello Sausage Will you please believe I have only had one Birds Eye Ready Dinner It was a Beef one I strictly adhered to the on packet instructions and I'm telling you it was in the worst 10 things I have ever tried to eat IT was definitely in the FISH class and when I had eaten half and it didn't improve I am sorry to say it was put in the bin horrid absolutely horrible ??? :farmer:

Definitely agree George. I've tried ready meals before and they sucked - they were really bad. All that packaging on the outside showing how scrummy they are and you get this cr*p in a plastic dish, and you have to pay for that privilege!

Hey up sage we could start a new row if we think about it all this unnecessary beautiful packageing and land fill HMG on about biodegradable so all the crisp packets turn to silver paper type plastic ??? ???

Hi, don't want to sound stupid but what is a 'marmite'? Always thought it was a disgusting spread!! :-\

Why on earth have you never opened an eating house George? Or at least written a recipe book? :)

Like it says on TV Clint you either love it or hate it my Kath says it's onny bont salt by the taste of it.She is disgusted with me when I go into the kitchen and she is spreading it on my toast and I dip my finger in the jar and then pull it out and it leaves a trail like what treacle does then suck my finger She all ways says Mucky devil I haven't worked out if it's eating Marmite or the trail ;D I have never had the courage to do any thing like that Jackie.Just to annoy him that must stick to the thread I made a imitation stuffed chine Sunday Lidl Grimsby had a Gammon portion offer which was a kilo of gammon in one of those cook in plastic rolls for £2.50p each I bought 4 to share I cut slits right through carefull not to break the plastic I couldn't find any stinging nettles so I only used parsley and a good shake of pepper chopped the parsley fine mixed in the pepper and stuffed the slits as full as I could get them with the mix I wrapped the meat in Ali foil and baked it in the oven for 11/2hrs on gas 4.I was a most gorgeous imitation stuffed chine.Now going even further of track There is another use for this dehydrator I would like to buy I could dehydrate stinging nettles and then reconstitute them when I want to make stuffed chine real or imitation Yum Yum Since I started this thread I suppose it wont matter if I deviate will it? ??? ;D ;D ;D :farmer:

Sorry clint you and yours maybe call it a pot casserole but if next time you are in the supermarket take down a large jar of Marmite That picture of a pot with a spoon sticking out under the lid is a marmite.I still cannot manage without a scrape on me toast even if salt is bad for me I've lasted 73 years and if doctor has his way a good few more yet ;D ;D ;D

Clint. marmite is not disgusting ! It's nectar!
