    I'm looking for the definitive CBH recipe but it seems that, if you ask 100 people for this, you get 101 answers.

    The core ingredients do seem to be potato, onion and CB. The main question seems to be whether you boil and mash the potatoes (more time and washing up but healthier) or dice and fry them with the onion (quick, easy and s*d the arteries).

    Hi princesstippytoes,

    what are devilled mushrooms please?

    Thanks,

    Ali x

    Devilled mushrooms are easy cheap and tasty. Fry mushrooms in olive oil or butter. Put in some garlic, worcestershire sauce, chilli flakes, and pepper. Then some cream or creme fraice. Make a bit of toast and put it on top and enjoy!

    Hi to everyone,
    My family love my home made fishcakes, it is really easy and cheap to make!
    Tin of Tuna or pink salmon (good for omega 3)
    Few potatoes
    butter/marg

    Basically boil potatoes, mash, mix in butter/marg-however much you fancy, mix in a tin of tuna/pink salmon which can both be bought cheaply. Shape into fishcake rounds and bake until golden.
    Cheap/easy and quick!!
    You can add onion too.;)

    slightly off topic but....the 8p noodles have disappeared from my tesco.i'm gutted.Has anyone else noticed this?
    I noticed on the labels about 5 weeks ago that they were discontinuing them, as well as the value flour? Havent been to check if its all gone. But with the flour prices etc now I suppose it would have.
    I have often fed the whole family for less then £1 a head, and we eat well. But havent costed things of late, so I will have to come back to you on that one.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
  • Last year i was a student living in non catered halls and now i live with my bf, but am still a fultime student so cheap meals are plentiful for us...however i do like to eat healthy meals too.

    last year i ate a lot of:
    noodles with some bacon thrown in
    scrambled egg on toast
    jacket potatos with tuna and salad
    various salads with ham/cheese etc

    now i have a bit more time and another mouth to feed its a little easier:
    hm burgers made with lean mince beef......the pack is £2.30 but we get at least four burgers

    basmati rice, 2 rashers of bacon, an egg (foo yung) a few mushroom and a handful of frozen peas....all mixed in with a spalsh of soy sauce

    hm leek and potato soup

    cheese, spring onion and chilli on toast

    do you tend to bake them in the oven or fry them? and do you think some sweetcorn could be added to the mix to bulk it up a bit?
  • also...

    I put all 4 legs in my slow cooker to make chicken stew and dumplings for the following day and the thighs I use to make a chicken curry for that evening.
