  • Ok we all have one of those things we use in the kitchen as a cheat whether its a guilty secret or known to all here's mine:

    Asda frozen mash :whistle:

    I can't make mash!! no matter what i do, how i cook it, what potatoes i use, what i mash it with it just doesn't happen for me........

    so i buy it frozen....from asda!

    In my defence it is just made with potatoes, milk, salt and pepper so what u would make mash with anyway!

    So confess your sins here.........

    Frozen ready made Yorkshire puddings. I'm a total disaster at making them and they only cost 59p for 12 from Lidl plus they only take three minutes in the oven.
