    I picked up a TGTG bag last night from Aldi, thinking I've not had one for a while I'll take a chance; but it was a bit disappointing. So, I will stick to Olio for the foreseeable future.

    Six packs of crispy sliced potatoes (although delicious) and five or six bags of salad (very useful); was a bit much. So I've had to get inventive as my freezer is full to bulging, so little space to freeze. At a push I can wilt some salad as it's bistro, with spinach and beetroot. I was expecting a little more variety.

    I might make carrot and coriander soup too, as I've got a few bendy ones and some carrot Dahl I wasn't keen on.

  • Does anyone have any fennel recipes please? Got 3/4 from TGTG box. I've looked at the beginning of the grocery challenge, but there's nothing for fennel.
    I'm airing on the side of Fennel gratin, as I still have sliced potatoes from a different TGTG.
