Yes Sandy , lots of choice these days . I grew up eating peppers in spag bol and chow fan , and even grew them outside on my veggie plot in the late 60's from seed saved from the peppers we used to eat .
Sadly there are many chemicals on and in food these days .
Pesticides , herbicides , gm , plastics and chems to stop food from going off , anti bacs and hormones in meat etc , it is a nightmare .
Then you hit prepared food ! Bugger me , safer to eat rat poison !
Angels delight , i hate to think what was in that , but i liked it , a bit sickly for me now i think ? .
I tend to eat only eat home grown veg , when poss , and as little meat as poss . I can't afford real meat ie chops etc , just sausages mince etc and who knows wtf the put in that or where it comes from ?.
I did buy a vesta curry a few years ago , We used to have them as a treat when i was a kid , i nearly puked though , yuk how on earth did i eat it when i was younger ?
Todays din dins was some local pork , home made sweet and sour sauce , sweet corn , peas , courgette , onion and egg fried rice , yum , well i liked it .
Oh and the chow fan we had as kids was ;
streaky bacon chopped up , green pepper and onion chopped and lightly fried in butter with button mushrooms , and omlet chopped up , all mixed up and cooked with soy sauce and served on basmati rice .
Ah the good ole days .
