Ooooh PB you eek lots more portions out of your mince than I was allowing! That's fab
I think Bob and shirl may get some marmite! Or..... um what else was I going to give them if I could squeeze it in?
How much is in your pack of kidney beans PB? could I do it with 1x 400g can or would it need to be 2?

veggie burger version 1 Mr weezl's feedback
Photo and recipe originally weezl's (sorry I have to put this now after a PM with MSE forum team about copyright rules etc...:o)
He loves it! Would definitely have it again. He thinks I need to up the bean to potato ratio, because the taste is very veggie burgery and nomnomnom, but the mouthfeel is more like a hash brown. Although he did say we could just call them spicy veggie hash browns and serve them as is and bob et al would wolf them down!:):):beer:
served here with HM bread, carrots and HM ketchup, I'm hoping shirley can make some bread rolls to go with them
Would be glad of the exact "recipe" you used for this our Weezl - as its obviously a possibility for me:)
Errr..I'm wondering exactly what happened re that "copyright" issue with the MSE team (perhaps you might like to tell me in a P.M./email???). (bristling a bit here re my "honorary niece"....love Aunty Ceridwen...)..xx0 -
Lesley are you a fan of Jefferey Steingarten by any chance?
I had to look him up! He sounds like someone I would enjoy reading. I couldn't find a blog written by him, he seems to write for Vogue and written several books. I'll check it out at the library
Have I said something that sounds like something he would say?0 -

he sparked my initial interest in subsistence and also is the writer who taught me about Umame! So I wondered if you were a sneaky fan
