Got £1 and hungry

cathy_3

go to your veg shop  lol

dont buy the pre packed ones in the supermarket  

never   theyre a rip off

a lb of cooking onions in our fruit and veg shop are 39p  and you get about 8 to the lb half the size of the ones your talking about but its all you need

Spendless

Our local market sell onions (and all other fruit and veg) individually by weight.

Never bought just one small onion tho to check its price but i would doubt if it was more than 10p

cathy_3

then again I doubt Id have the noive to buy one
id buy 3 or 4 lol

but thered still be enough out of the quid

Bogof_Babe

bag frozen mash
1 onion   5p
tin corned beef  45p

corned beef hash serves 2

I cannot believe a MSE would buy ready-made frozen mash!  I would substitute a pack of economy instant mash (Sainsbury, around 40p for a big pack, serves about 6).  It is improved with butter and/or milk, but for the purpose of this experiment the fat from the corned beef should suffice.  :)

(edited as my cold brain omitted the word frozen )

lol

frozen mash I recon works out cheaper

its about 50p for a bag serves two easily and your not paying for peel, and boiling the water to cook them in etc

just put in a bowl in the mike with a dash of milk and its lovely its actual mash I dont like smash or the instant mash thats why I said frozen

mind you smash make lovely fish cakes

tin of tuna

pct of instant mash

small onion

egg

salt and pepper and dried parsley if youve got it
makes about 8 good sized fish cakes

I made fishcakes like this for my eldest last winter.He asked what they were and if I'd said "fishcakes" I would have got answer "don't like em" so I said they were called snowcakes and they were eat when it wa snowing outside (which it was) he wolfed the lot down

ha ha ha

the only way I could get my eldest to eat was to tell him everything was astranout food

it got a bit much when he was 27 though

;D

Speaking of onions (earlier) and of feeding kids:

when the twins were toddlers I used to put an onion on the table top near their high chairs and said that if they did not eat their food, the onion would.

It worked for a couple of years, but by the time they were 4 they sussed out that I was having them on!
