    seeing the recipe for scones made me think of cobblers, I don't know if they've been mentioned before in the thread but they're a great alternative to pastry or dumplings to eke out a stew.
    they're basically a savoury scone but there are a few recipes online, I tried to find a st delia recipe (I'm sure there's one somewhere).
    I like them cos the underneath goes a bit dumplingy and the top nice a crisp so you get the best of both worlds :D
    I personally wouldn't serve spuds with them too but I do like a beef stew with lots of butter beans in with a cobbler top.
    Bah! now I want that for dinner and I know i've no diced beef in and grocery challenge budget wont allow me to buy any :(

    Dumplings are v. easy & will fill up your teens hollow legs (on a stew etc)
    4 oz self-raising flour, 2 oz, suet, pinch salt, little cold water to mix. Must go in while the stew is actually bubbling in the middle, 20 mins to cook.

    Your list could go in excel :) I've got mine set to grey the item out when quantity =0
