Right am really exposing myself for a potential flaming here but anyway...

Am making a sausage casserole today with the following ingredients:

Butcher sausages
2 peppers
Tomatoes
Mushrooms
Onions
Tin chopped tomatoes
Fusilli pasta

And now for the Blush bit a JAR of Lloyd Grossman tomato sauce

It's a made up recipe a la dotty so please forgive me if that's not what a sausage casserole is supposed to be like!

Anyway SIL was her earlier and says she wouldn't feed that to her 3 year old as it's junk food.

I'm mortified

I thought it was quite nutritious.

I've a very fussy 20 month old who loves sausages.

AIBU and deluded to serve this up and think it's not junk food?

Just had one of the Lloyd Grosman thai curry jars with stir fried prawns and veg for my tea. It was lovely. They're on offer in Morrisons for £1 this week for anyone who doesn't think they will cause their eyes to fall out if they eat them.

Oh I loved that 'Shit in a Box' thread. Grin

Does nobody else think jar food is really expensive?

ChippingInLatteLover · 29/09/2014 23:27

Waitrose has the Lloyd Grossman pasta sauces on special this week, buy one get one free

I think they might be watching our boards. I wonder if they have a job vacancy?! Grin

Jump I see you stil haven't read the thread Wink

I fucking love salt...

youareallbonkers · 30/09/2014 16:11

while not junk food, it could be quite high in fat unless you cook the sausages 1st and drain off the fat (and who would want to do that?) Agree with leave out the jar sauce (give it away and make your own)

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/09/2014 16:29

I think most people would cook the sausages first otherwise they don't colour up and look like revolting flaccid williesGrin

IHaveBrilloHair · 30/09/2014 16:39

Yes, and the skins float around in it like used condoms

HavanaSlife · 30/09/2014 17:09

Yep I always cook the sausage first, they just look odd other wise. And they taste crap!

LeftRightCentre · 30/09/2014 17:11

No, I don't find jars expensive, particularly for curries. Much cheaper than buying all the spices.

Small children don't need low fat food. They need the fat to make cell membranes and nerve tissue to grow.

Sausage casserole sounds good to me right now too. May have to visit the butchers.

Gileswithachainsaw · 01/10/2014 10:46
