Yes - the mash is from AF - I tend not to use it as mash, but to make fishcakes or rissoles or to make "cream of" soup - when you add some mash to a veggie soup to make the base creamy IYSWIM?

Its fine on its own - but I still have memories of the watery version of school dinner mash and can't bring myself to serve it up. Isn't memory a funny thing?

thanks hun, we go through boxes of the stuff, and have noticed that sainsbobs and As*a put their prices up and down, so will check next time AF have it in, and bulk buy. we use it just as mash but DH likes to add butter and DS just wants gravey in it.

What is powdered mash like? I had some once and must admit that I had maybe kept it a bit too long as when I made it up it tasted vile and had to be chucked away:(

Don't recall having powdered mash with my school dinners - we had real mash with massive lumps in to go with the lumpy gravy and equally lumpy custard:eek:

if you make it properly, not bad, i do like it with gravy on.

I don't always have time to make proper mash and no freezer. Plus DH likes to moan. Easier to prepare packet stuff for him.

My lovely (too big) sofa has gone, so it's camping chairs for sitting on, surprisingly comfortable, until the move a week today.

Lara, I hope you have a great time at your party tomorrow. Sounds as if it will be yummy!

We like the 'mash' you get from L!dl - French or german variety - use it when we are camping or need something quick - whe we go to France we come home with boxes of the stuff:rotfl:

Quickly crashing in to say we got a letter today form the Black Horse to say they will refund our PPI plus 8% interest to 'bring us back where we would be had we not been fleeced' just shy of £4250:eek::eek: worth filling in the on line form and putting a stamp on I say - we expected nothing as we had claimed against it and had NO details only a policy number. And in the same post OH gets letter from HMRC to say they owe him £250 - hello Universe:rotfl:;):rotfl:;):rotfl:;):T:T:T:T

Bad luck runs in threes maybe good luck does too - try visualising a nice £500 to make that a round £5,000
Drinks on you if it happens
