    Indeed! Questions happily answered!

    I could make it better myself at home. All I need is a small aubergine...

    I moved to Liverpool for a better life.
    And goodness, it's turned out to be better and busier!

    If you boil some potatoes in it, they attract the salt. You could use the potatoes for something else afterwards.

    Hmm, I'm not sure on that one, maybe a little sugar and some chili powder and a little lemon juice? If it goes wrong I take no responsibility!

    Or make double the quantity and freeze half?

    Just did a quick search and they suggest putting in some raw potato slices which should absorb some of the salt but it has to be simmering, apparently
    :D**Thanks to everyone on here for hints, tips and advice!**:D
