No add in the sweetcorn straight from freezer no cooking makes the recipe even easier. Not sure about the croatian salad will put it on my nag weezl list however i dont see it listed to be served with anything what meal is it served with HG?

Thanks for the sweetcorn info. How easy is that!

I don't think the Croatian salad is actually listed as being served with anything, but I have a vague notion that during testing people used it as an alternative to wedges and it got favourable feedback. Might have been with the Spanish omelette?

I read the list of recommended equipment....where are we getting 2lb loaf tins for £1 from?

(My local ASDA sells them for £2.75...?)

Yeah think you are right i def did in the testing stage and have used it a few times since with other things as ex loved it and now we both prefer it to normal tattie salad. Have put it on the list though xx Let us know how the morroccan salad turns out.

Mine too you could try poundland if you have one near you i got some from there recently and they seem fine. Does anyone else know where to get them at that price. Home bargains or Wilkinsons i dont have near me so cant check sorry

you get MILLIONS of runner beans from 20 plants, we eat them ad nauseum. I don't preserve any as I think home frozen ones are disgusting and I haven't found any other method I like. So I give away kilos and kilos of them over the season, along with rhubarb as my contribution to the friendship thingy

Have you ever made runner bean pickle? I went out with a guy whose Mum made it, absolutely delicious and pretty easy too! I made it myself when I was a younger lass. I would highly recommend it, and would make a great Christmas gift (for me at the meet in Sept he he)

This recipe sounds like the one I used

Tried both the poundshops nearest to me (within 3 miles or so) and no luck - I'll keep my eye open though, cos their stock changes frequently.

THANK YOU! I bought some frozen runner beans by mistake recently, and I can't STAND runner beans!! (Although I LOVE "fine" beans)...

I shall try pickling them :money:

I think a 'reading list' will be a good idea for gardening/other books which help with cutting food waste. However I dont think we should come across as too preachy as it puts some people off. Sometimes I think that happens on the O/S board when people get into a competition about how little they spend and sometimes it can come across as a little smug.

Just my opinions of course though.

I'm still writing this bloody thing-think it will be a late night for me tonight....:(

Arty,

I'm sure you have already thought of this, but just one word, SAVE.
My daughter was just at the end of her dissertation prior to becoming a teacher and somehow, she lost the lot. Good Luck to you, hope you are getting there, sometimes thinking about it is worse than doing it.
