    OH had a dotty aunty who gave him cat food for tea,she couldnt see the label!
    He was about 6 and too shy to tell her:D

    I used to buy asda hot chocolate and put it in the cadburys jar.I dont need to swap jars anymore though as they think Asdas taste just as good!!

    Used to bulk out mince with soya mince when we were really skint and still sometimes do with bread crumbs.

    Sometimes add a slice of bread (crumbed in processor) to scrambled egg when I dont have enough eggs.Nobody has ever noticed.

    When I had a dog several years ago, I remember opening a tin of meat ... Spiller's Prime, I think ... and remarking to my ex-hubby how tasty it looked and smelled, just like those tins of stewed steak you can buy, and I was almost tempted to make a pie with it and see if anyone noticed LOL!!

    Try making a jelly and then instead of adding the cold water top up, use a small tin of carnation milk.Instant mousse.

    Also works with low fat yoghurt for a healthy version, just use the minimum amount of hot water you can get away with to melt the jelly first then make up the difference with yoghurt.

    Caz2 - I'm sure when my mum used to make it, she used to whisk it till it was all light and fluffy before putting it in the fridge to set.
