    tumbledown??? is that leftovers?
    no, it's where you make a base ingredient (ie cooked mince) and then divide it into different meals (chille, bolognese, cottage pie)

    Yes. Next week, or at some point it will be chicken, but they won't call it "rubber"

    so would mine have.

    and so would I have with my kids (now 25, 20 and 18)

    My dad's growing chilli's, he offered me a plant the other day but I think i'd kill it.

    This is just winding me up really as it just shows how some people are. How on earth can you get to their age (the parents I mean :p) and not know how to do some of these things?

    a friend of mine received cookery lessons from me as her mum thinks that cooking a nice family meal was getting the ready stuff from m&s!!!

    Me too. Also the refusal of any meal cooked by my parents would have resulted in instantaneous death. :rolleyes:
