I've never done the salad cream bit, but many a time, had mashed potato thoroughly mixed in with corned beef, made into "patties", then fried ... think bubble and squeak but without the bubble.... oh, and without the squeak confused:

We used to have it as leftovers on Monday too. Still do in fact. But none are as good as the Boxing Day one.

No! No! NO! Mondays was not bubble and squeak. Monday was Shepherds Pie made from the left overs of the joint. Bubble and squeak was Sunday Brekky with a fried egg, fried tomatoes, fried bread and some bacon (and a banger if we were lucky) ................................................. And I wonder why I have heart problems. ::)
Mum used to save all the left over taters and greens from the whole week to make the B&S on Sunday mornng 'cos that was the day me Dad was home all day.

Sounds like a plan. I will get there early to secure the best vantage point and also ensure any leek-munchers or bog-trotters sit in the cheap sests, for the first match. When the porridge-wogs turn up for their ritual humiliation, I shall inform them of the big price rise whereupon they will doubtless slope off to the festering moon, to save what's left of the giro the good old English tax payer has given them.

OK so why weren't we all fat then?
I blame central heating .... In the past we burned off the surplus keeping warm but fitted carpets and central heating put paid to "nature's way" of controlling our use of calories. That is where the problem started.
Yes I know I am overweight now but that's due to diabetes (Thanks to dctors prescribing unsutable heart medication but failing to spot the pre-dabetic state) and thyroid problems (Thanks to the doctors who over corrected an over-active thyroid but that is another story)
-
OK so why weren't we all fat then?
Like you said the other day... we get off our arses and burn the calories off...
I used to walk to school home for lunch and back again.
On holidays, we didn’t see our parents; we were running around going out climbing trees, scrumping, etc.
When I went to secondary school (I failed the 11+) I rode there and back every day and when I went to sixth form college I rode there too…
That’s while piling dripping on a slice of white bread and adding loads of salt didn’t make me obese… prolly.

I asked Mr Wench if he wanted to go out for the day on Saturday and he said he couldn't because he had lots of school work. LYING BASTARD! evil:

'cactly but don't forget getting up in the mornings to a freezing cold bedroom, stepping onto the lino, into an equally freezing bathroom then back to the cold bedroom to get dressed before you could go to the kitchen, then only warm room in the house ...... 'cept on Sundays when Dad would have lit the fire in the living room. Weekdays the fire didn't get lit until afternoon by your Mum, 'bout an hour before you got in from school. All that did use up calories to maintain body temperature. My kids moan now if the house is not a constant 26 degs plus throughout and they can walk around in tee shirts even when it is freezing outside. I don't think they know what a pullover is. ::)
Wenchy ..... I thought you would have learned by now. Never trust a Welshman.

Basic hash recipe.
Take tin of corned beef, place in fridge for an hour.
Meanwhile boil and mash potatoes.
Sweat (lightly fry but do not allow to colour) some finely chopped onion and leeks
Remove corned beef from tin and grate it into a bowl. (YES I said Grate it)
Add mashed potato, onion and leeks and mix together with a beaten egg.
Form into largish balls and then flatten the balls to make thick burger shaped cakes.
Shallow fry in hot sunflower/vegetable oil for a couple of minutes on each side until golden ~ do not leave unattended at ths stage as they burn in seconds if you turn your back.
Serve wth a salad or if The Boy is like my kids with chips.

Isn't that a sort of burger recipe? rubschin:
Yes .... works for fish cakes too. 'Specially if, like me, you like to make fish cakes wth salmon or smoked haddock.
Instead of grating poach and then bltz the fish in a food processor.
Note I don't do quantities. I use Keith Floyd's "Metric handful" and "A splosh or two" method.

Man enjoying a holiday in Spain where he goes to watch the bull fighting .... Just for the experience. Afterwards he goes into a local cafe and orders the special of the day. He has never enjoyed a meal more and calls the proprietor over to compliment him. He asks what the meat was and is told that because they are so close to the bull ring the special dish is prepared using the bulls testicles which, by tradition, are cut off at the end of the fight and presented to the cafe owner. This is in return for some favour his grandfather had done the bull ring owner during the Spanish Civil War. Anywhooo the holiday progresses and the tourist enjoys all the sights and sounds of a typical Spanish holiday but he never finds another cafe meal that can match that special so on the last day of the holiday he goes back to the cafe and as it is a bull fight day he orders the special meal again. He has a glass or two of the local vino and eventually his meal arrives. He tucks in but is very disappointed, the meal just isn't as good. He calls the cafe owner across and says "Look, I had this special two weeks ago and it was superb, today it is horrible. The meat that was so succulent and tender last time is shrivelled and bitter. The whole thing is awful .... what is the matter? Why is it so different?"
"Well senor" says the cafe owner "The last time you were here we served you the special which, as you know, is made using the testicles of the bull killed in the ring"
"Yes" says the tourist "and?"
"Well senor ..... eet is like this ...................... Sometimes zee bull ..... he does not lose."

I've ordered the vegetarian Thai thing from the canteen, I would have considerd the normal version but there seems to have been an awful amount of chicken offered over the last few days and I've also taken the mick out of the staff a little too much of late.

SWMBO is in the kitchen again. I have been to check on (i) the menu and (ii) the progress.
I find she has cooked enough Basmati rice to feed half of Bangladesh and a minuscule amount of mushroom and chicken sauce which she hopes to spread around five of us. There is about a third of a pint of sauce. I have suggested that, next time she attempts this culinary masterpiece, she ought to reduce the rice by about a third and at least double the sauce. Basically I said "your ratios are all wrong". Harsh words were again spoken. Why does she think I did all the cooking in the pubs we ran or employed a chef to do it? The bloody woman cannot cook .... why does she insist on trying? Banghead

Maybe she wants to learn Snoop. Just a suggestion but get that Delia Smith cheat's cookbook. That should start her off fairly well. whistle:

Although to be fair to her, I can cook and yet I still can't get rice amounts right. I always cook enough to feed the street.

I got this one after a certain bloody know all woman in the kitchen worked out that the non-stick removable plates HAD to be dishwashable because they could withstand heat. Never gave a thought to the fvcking chemicals in the dishwasher tabs. Banghead
So we threw that one away and stared again with one she cannot get the plates off.
Don't get me wrong ... Mrs S is a very intelligent woman with a clutch of qualifications but as Nick says Skills? Qualifications? They are different things. Every man to his last as they say. I can cook, it is my thing and I enjoy it. She was married not for her ability in the kitchen .......... if you get my drift.

I have toyed with the idea of one of those too but there is a limit to the space in the kitchen.

I Only have a small place so the coffee machine is by my computer (I have my work priorities set whistle:) I'm going to replace my breadmaker at some point as my last one died rather spectacularly when the gears finally went on it.

Does Mrs Snoopy sell her soap?
Used to but she has little timew to sit all saturday at a craft fair anymore. She makes it mainly for herself and usually gives some to the schools/PTAs when they come begging for their "Bring & Buy" sales. Her family often get some as pressies too.
In answer to your next question ::) you will need to PM your address and I'll send you some when she next makes up a batch. Tea Tree do you? Very good for the skin but there are other "flavours"

Tea tree would be fabby! Has she looke at etsy or notonthehighstreet. She could sell via the interweb.

My Mrs has just bought some tea tree and something or other hand wash. It has a nice smell but my hands always smell of tea leaves after, doesn't seem right after years of Dove/Carex
-

Bin there, tried that, too much grief. She prefers it as a hobby without the pressure of people wanting, wanting,wanting. Anyway the stuff she makes is simple and the Yanks have gone all fancy with it and people no longer look for purity. They think what they are getting is natural but it isn't. Her process involves no caustic soda (which most soap making uses) and no animal testing etc. BUT that comes at a cost and making in small batches the selling price reflects the cost.
Question most often asked was "Why is your soap £5 when I can buy glycerine soap in Boots for 50p?"
-
Fairy snuff! Let me know when she is next making a batch and I will send you a cheque. Yummy soap. cloud9:

Why on earth do you keep inviting people round that have no sense of humour?

Tesco

They aren't too bad. However, they are notorious at giving online shoppers the worst sell by dates.

Well we are eating it all tonight!

Why didn't you go to the supermarket yourself? Or is this a test run for doing it online more often?

Test run. ANd anyway our local Tesco is full of perverts evil:
-
They aren't too bad. However, they are notorious at giving online shoppers the worst sell by dates.
I have to say that has not been our experience. Usually Tesco and Asda "personal" shoppers whip round the store before it opens and thus one gets the pick of the goods ~ 'specially the veg, bread etc where freshness is important. We normally use one or the other (one likes to be even handed with the tradesmen) once a fortnight for all heavy shopping but buy from local farms for veg, eggs etc. Milk is delivered (don't agree with supermarket milk policies) because we are lucky enough to have a local milkman in a Nissan pick-up who collects from a local dairy at 5am and delivers round the village by 8am.
One big advantage to on-line shopping is that it has reduced our grocery bill condierably. No impulse buying you see. There has also been a noticable drop in the amount of waste we put in the bin each week. On-line grocery shopping forces you to plan meals and shop accordingly. Of course we have no truck with ready meals of any form, unless you count the fish fingers and sausages which the boys would eat at every meal if we let them.

I think it greatly varies from area to area. For instance, our Asda is excellent but my Brother's is rubbish. I'd agree on the shopping bill though. We've gone back to it this month and the bills are about 30% less than they were when we were actually shopping. Although like you meat, veg, eggs etc we do try and buy in the village to keep the small local shops going.
