[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Is it thousand island dressing?

Any help is appreciated.

marie rose sauce, isn't it?

[colditz]

It's thousand island dressing and you can make it with mayonaise and ketchup and a bit of pepper and lemon juice.

Thank you all.

I was just serving up the kids dinner.

DD has asked for one prawn with her potato .

You need a little bit of worcestershire sauce in it. Or horseradish.

My cayenne pepper is use by March 2008. I always follow dates. This isn't like meat, dairy or fish though is it....

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Why SBF?

[HecatesTwopenceworth]

Is it use by or best before?

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

Best before.

[GrimmaTheNome]

I don't think much can live or breed on cayenne! It might have lost some flavour but I doubt it'll harm anyone.

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

I guess it doesn't matter since I have realised I have put in worcester sauce which is marked as best before May 09. Oops.

[HecatesTwopenceworth]

then you can use it. Best before is just a guide, it means that after that it might not taste as good, maybe, but it certainly won't hurt you.

Use By is the one to watch. I think.

[SlartyBartFast]

cos i like prawn cocktail.
actually prefer avocado prawn mmmmm

oh i had some sort of red pepper that was absolutely rank when it was out of date. the one you use in goulash.

[FabBakerGirlIsBack]

I have decided not to put the cayenne pepper in as it already has a bit of a kick with the worcester sauce in and I am not sure if DH will like it too hot.

SBF - join us if you like .

[SlartyBartFast]

seen this too late.

Has anyone ever wondered which thousand islands the sauce refers to? And out of 1000 islands, the best thing they could come up with between them was a bit of tomato mayo .
