    Can I eat raw mushrooms in salads. I don't mean foraging, the one's bought from supermarkets.

    Yes, no problem.

    A friend of my mothers eats mushrooms straight from the pack like sweets. Yuk!
  • - How do I keep coriander in a pot from dying on me after a couple of days?
    and
    - Is there any way of stopping basil plants from developing evil grey mould? Don't really want to spray them.

    Thanks for any advice. I'm not very good with herbs in pots...

    Hmm... I generally fail with those too. Maybe the Greenfingered board can help you out with this one:-

    I think that the supermarket herbs aren't really meant to stay in the pots in which they're sold.

    I have more luck repotting them into propper potting compost, and a larger pot.

    Alternatively, try growing your own. Corriander, especially is very easy to grow, and a packet of seed costs pennies.

    Yes.

    Frozen cooked rice is sold in supermarkets now for the 'time poor'.

    Sure. Cool it quickly and freeze it straight away.

    Defrost quickly then be sure to reheat it thoroughly to at least 72°C throughout.
