    Don't think me rude, but I hope they don't. It seems as though whenever TV chefs start doing things with cheaper ingredients, those ingredients start increasing in price until they're no longer such a bargain. Look at shank.

    Good point. :D I used to regularly buy pork or lamb shoulder because it was cheap but since Jamie Oliver did slow roast pork shoulder and slow roasted lamb shoulder the prices have shot up!

    you're so right. I still remember when lamb shanks used make a cheap & tasty meal but since Nigella,Jamie et al started cheffing about with them they're now out of my price range :(

    I really enjoyed the programme; what did others think?

    I had to smile when one of the Hairy Bikers said that his mum used to mash cauliflower with white pepper and butter, because that's just how my mum always served it; mum did exactly the same thing with carrots as well, both delicious, by-the-way:)

    I was surprised to hear them say that cauliflower has gone out of fashion over the last ten years, certainly not in our house, because it was a regular vegetable as I was growing up and I've always bought it regularly since then.

    They mentioned Heritage wheat grown in Oxfordshire on the programme and I'm all for supporting the more traditional varieties / growing methods; does anyone know where we can buy the flour?

    Looking forward to next week's episode; thanks for the nod, Penelope Penguin:beer:
