Absolutely no-one's meals look like the bisto adverts or indeed any other adverts. Well apart from the before ones when they are advertising some sort of cleaning materials & those also feel like cleaned up versions. I remember one "interesting" occasion when following the knock on the door I hissed at my then H do not let anyone come in the kitchen. I then put the bin behind the door. Then I accidentally spilt a some wine into my glass.
