    ooh yes i agree with you there!! The prepped fresh stuff is really expensive in little bags:(.
    I tend to roast a whole one(cut in half and deseeded) then scoop out the flesh to use ins soups/casseroles.
    It saves the peeling and chopping but you still have to deal with the seeds.

    You can plant them.:D

    I keep half the skin on when I make soup with BNS. Makes the soup thicker.

    Frozen mash is great when making cottage pie too, I really can't be bothered to chop onions and carrots and fry mince for the sauce, as well as peeling and boiling potatoes. So a fresh cottage pie base with frozen mash used for the top is fine in my opinion.
