er, if you haven't got time to make mash, why not give 'em something else?

Fimbo · 18/05/2007 17:17

It only takes about 20 minutes to boil and mash your own.

Gordon Ramsay did it on the F-word last week for some night nurses who lived on junk food bought from a Tesco petrol station. It was a race between him and them buying the food from the petrol station. You can guess who won - I win my case!

ok so real potato is nicer BUT it does take 20 mins or so

instant mash takes however long the kettle takes to boil

its probably the worst nutrition wise but smash buttery is lovely with a bit of butter and cheese mixed in

sometimes something gross and quick just hits the spot!!

M&S tubs of buttery mash. Peel back lid, microwave, done.

Outrageously, ridiculously, insanely expensive for a couple of potatoes worth but when I was working a lateshift with an all-day hangover nothing else would do...

"barfismo"???

Did you have to go back in time to the 1980's to get those?

YIKES!

ktmoomoo · 18/05/2007 17:34

MrsBadger · 18/05/2007 17:34

essbee - make a big batch of real mash one weekend
freeze in portion sizes
2min in microwave (probably quicker then kettle for Smash...)

crocs are insane over here. I get the impression that crocs have infested the UK as well but everyone wears them here. Men, women, children... at work... everywhere.
