J'Accuse... I do not believe a sizeable minority on here when they say "I blah blah blah"

[Salmotrutta]

E.g. :-
"I cook from scratch" - I hate "from scratch". We used to say "everything was homemade".

And those of you who state "homemade potato wedges" ? ...yeah, I'm impressed. So that would be some potatoes shoved in the oven then?

How much do I need a plate of ketchips RIGHT NOW

and maybe a mushroom feast

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Worra - that made me chuckle!

I have a dirty secret... I have fish fingers, frozen fish and chicken keivs in the freezer! I've also got a bottle of full sugar vimto in the fridge!

Ah. I'm going to hell!

If I post some of my soup recipes will it send Worra into apoplexy? I make them all with at least 7 types of vegetables, and lentils are regularly involved.

Thank you for finding Ketchips Piranha Lucky for me I had a doting Nan who used to buy such delights for when I went to tea.

Does anybody remember the post on here which was a long running thread around cooking on a very low income where the ever-so-earnest op proclaimed at length that tinned tomatoes simmered for a long time produced a delicious sauce. Just those ingredients no more, no less.
She obviously had a store cupboard of seasoning but proceeded to patronise that those on benefits/low income would still enjoy it as much without, and shouldn't need it as the above was so wholesome, much better than Farmfoods finest which tbh would be more plentiful and filling for a family just trying to produce a meal their children will eat.
She just couldn't see it. I imagined her speaking voice to be one of those really whiney ones.

I think it sounds really sanctimonious when people say things like "Only water/milk is offered in this house"

As though this house is the epitome of how things must be done

I make soup all the time. Soup in my house is whatever shit is left over in the fridge boiled with stick and blitzed to fuck.

Tasty and I refuse to believe it is not healthy.

OOh lovely full sugar vimto to wash down the mini keivs and chips with a big dollop of Mayo on the side.

It is the imagined slight raise of the eyebrow which gets me.

in this house

Sooty YES

I hope they are hand gathered sticks you boil the soup with Pass and not crappy Tesco ones.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Thought it was just me.

Damn PassMe beat me to it.

usual I have just sent my husband to make me some chips and Mayo.

Hmm closest I come to 'made from scratch' is any kind of eggs. Don't lay them myself though so guess that's a fail!

I loved that thread, Metallic. I think there was a post on it about hunting and shooting your own food too.

Foraging for nuts was mentioned.

Oh no I'm thinking of the breakfast shit in a box thread.

Sooty - yes! "We don't have sugar In this house"

Forgive me if I'm wrong but fructose is a sugar, and they're just the type to have fruit bowls precociously spread about the place, with GM free and fair trade stickers on all the bananas.

You know what happens after a thread like this? Another thread will appear saying 'AIBU to think it's sad that some posters find the idea of feeding children a healthy diet a laughing matter?' And then everyone will agree that all the posters on this thread have obese children but are so deluded they haven't noticed. And it's so sad.

im a right mix of shit, lol.

i 'cook from scratch' quite frequently, because i'm a fussy eater (omg) and prefer to KNOW what the fuck is in my food because hey, i eat it!

i do my cooking, in my kitchen, while usually playing candy crush on my tablet and listening to my radio, while my kids are plonked in front of computers and tv watching minecraft videos on youtube and via my tivo box.

do i care? do i fuck!

KETCHIPS! KETCHIPS! KETCHIIIIIIIIPS! How could I have forgotten you?

Usual, yes, because we all own shotguns.
In fact only this morning I shot four city pigeons, and my cat brought a big railway rat as his daily offering. Those and the boiled tinned tomatoes - we'll eat like kings this week.

Treacle - if someone does post another thread, they really need to have a word with them selves, google sarcasm and get a chuffing life! X

Hypoteneuse I think it sounds even worse when it's not even personalised - no "we" in the statement: eg "Only XYZ is eaten in this house"

I always want to tell them to get over themselves.

This place can be crackers, I've seen a poster 'helped' and told to remove the apple from her child's lunchbox as it is too much sugar. And always the advice is... "Hmm I'd add more protein in".

It makes me want to mainline corn syrup, and refined sugar and carbs (the not complex ones).
