Recipes on Packages

My current bottle of fish sauce has a recipe on the label. During a pause in cooking, I found myself reading it - as you do - and discovered that it requires no less than 4 different products (including the one in the bottle) from the manufacturer's range to make it.

Is this a record?

Do any such recipes actually not require the product you've already got?

PS. I suspect that the legal team at MSE Towers might prefer it, if we didn't "name & shame".

What else did you expect? : It's so typical! I just sub them for cheaper versions, on the occasion I buy a branded item with a recipe on it.

Of course, I expected it to use the product in hand, and possibly another, but three others did strike me as a bit excessive.

Agreed, I find the recipes in the Waitrose weekend magazine follow the same pattern, all very understandable

For simplicity the ex Cambell's condensed soups [now Batchelors'] only have their brand of soup in recipes on the tin, the rest is bog standard store cupboard type of stuff
