Evening all

Thanks to everyone posting the wine results, I went straight from work and luckily got it on my phone.

I got 15 bottles of wine over 2 shops, used a few coupons, £5 conditional spend that I didnt spend enough on first shop to use and on second shop it still wouldnt let me but luckily sa saw it came to £41 so put it through manually , got 2 x pp for £9.93 so cost me £40 and they are nice wines (jacobs creek and ogio mainly) with all the fillers as well. that many bottles of cheaper wines would have cost £50 in a's 3 for £10 offer with no sweets :eek:. So am quite pleased with myself. :T And very grateful to you all :T hubby cant believe it

A2 vouchers still working in t's ss.

And as t's didnt have the malteser bunny and cs didnt believe me when i said an alternative would be offered she gave me the 60p instead of waiting for my phone ot bring up the email. :T

Having a cheeky glass of ogio

Thank you, I've bookmarked the page so he can look at it tomorrow. No doubt I'll have another weird question for me to answer while driving

Whilst that article is correct about Titanium Dioxide being the universal man made white pigment for food, paint, paper etc these days it unfortunately gives a completely misinformed impression about it's possible effects on health.

Journalists however never seem to let facts and the bigger picture get in the way of some scaremongering:eek:.

As an expert in the field, but with no axe to grind or anyone to defend, I would take a different view. As a food additive it is E171 and used to mask or enhance the awful natural colour of some processed foods.

It is true that after being in use for over 80 years it is being looked at, along with many other man made and natural substances as a possible carcinogen. That's as much as the article, for whatever motive, chooses to reveal. The property giving a possible link to being a carcinogen is the fact that it is a fine dust when being processed and handled in bulk and breathing in the dust is the problem, causing irritation to the respiritory tract, and not ingesting it in food. As a chemical it is extremely durable, inert and the body cannot absorb it.....on a lighter note have you ever wondered why some dog poo is white?;)

I am not a great cook but decided yesterday to try out a veggie dish for dd. I got 4 x 9p aubergines in mr m the other night so decided to make Antonio Carluccio's Melanzane Parmigiana. It is basically slices of aubergine fried in egg and flour till golden. Then layered in a dish with homemade tomato pasta sauce, mozarella and caerphilly cheese. The recipe says parmesan and fontina cheese but I decided to use up cheese from the fridge. I have to say it was fab. dd and I both had some for dinner ( mine with some chicken) and then some more for lunch. Used free Parioli tomatoes, aubergines, 44p caerphilly and 84p mozarella. So total cost for 4 portions about £2.20 and there is enough left for another 2 portions. Will post a pic tommorow.

Im reading these posts with interest but don't even pretend to know very much about this stuff.

Do you mean Artha that the carcinogenic angle that's being looked at is more along the lines of causing cancers similar to asbestosis and mesothelioma type diseases? ( something I do know a bit about) and therefore affecting those involved in manufacture processes using this, rather than ingestion of it?......interesting

Yes thats it exactly. The people at risk are those in the manufacturing and handling who are not adequately protected from breathing in large quantities of dust. Once it is in food there aren't(or weren't before I retired) any of those risks involved as a "chemical". The article I think mentions that it sometimes isn't declared as a food additive because it is a purified form of a naturally occuring material and technically can be found in foods that claim "contains no artifical additives/colours" etc

I have no problem eating it. What may cause some concern is that the same basic material is used for paints, plastics and food etc but the food grade is a specific very pure product tailored for that purpose. The paint grades are further modified with other chemicals to make them compatible with the various applications and would not be suitable for food
