  • not the annabel karmel but my mac & cheese is basic white sauce, add grated cheddar and a little bit of mustard,
    cook the mac and tip into a casserole dish, add the cheese sauce and mix together then i just chuck it in the oven for 10 mins et voila, served with chopped up cucumber (and tomatoes for those who like them)

    That's a complete set-up!!!

    Why on earth would somebody who never cooks and lives on ready meals have such a well-stocked storecupboard! :rolleyes:

    But my weekly shopping budget is a third of what their reduced budget is!

    Yes but you are a real person in the real world, I'm pretty sure this family is just doing what they were told to do.

    They seemed to have a lot of basic ingredients for a family that only eats take aways and ready meals.
