Give me shopping on line any day. No car parking, no fuel costs, bigger range of choice, lower prices, ease of payment (No queues) and the ability if anything goes wrong to get your card provider to refund you and take on the problem of sorting matters out with the seller. You have to be daft to want to wander round shops. Life is too short to spend three hours a week in a supermarket and money too short to waste on impulse buying, which is what shops rely on.

I am gettingthe hang of this Tesco Online stuff slowly, but every week I make some fook up.

We are still getting through the 4 kilos of figs. This time I made a differnt error  evil:

Does anyone have any interesting recipes which involve LOTS of bananas?

I assumed that bananas were individually countable, so clicking on 6 seemed reasonable. How big is 'a bunch' meant to be anyhoo?

Wrong sort of bananas for frying (unless you dip them in a batter) or currying ~ they will turn to mush.
Trust me I have eaten a lot of West Indian food.
