    The hairy bikers are great! but a friend of mine said they physicaly repulse her?!

    I am trying poaching potatoes to mash rather than boiling - as suggested. I did browse one of their books but it seemed to be quite fussy unusal meat and ingredients? Or was that just me?!

    Your friend is right, they are (especially Dave) a bit minging:eek:

    I thought the Fondant Potatoes looked great.

    Am I being thick but I don't understand the difference between poaching & boiling pots???

    Depends what you're into ;) I'm not wanting a piece of either, but repulsive is far!

    Well it confused me too to be honest:o. I think you poach at a lower temperature than boiling - but maybe someone here who knows better could confirm or deny?:confused:
    A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men :cool:
