Surely we can't be THAT lazy in this country?

I have just made Chocolate Rice Crispy-things for the first time since I was a wee tot.

I am amazed that these things are actually available ready-made in the shops. Chocolate. Rice Crispies. A spoon. Cupcake cases. What's so frickin' difficult about that?

Badger, try moonie's or my home-made muesli. It'll fill you up till noon and the pumpkin seeds will give you perfect poos.

Cereal is the food of gods, there is a type of cereal for every occasion.

I make an exception for muesli, because it's actually nutritious and people don't make that terrible half-crunch-half-slurp sound while they're eating it. (Hell is being trapped at a hotel dining room table at 8 am with my in-laws, who are all dutifully munching their way through cereal before their full English because That's What You Do At A Hotel. While I tried to block out the noise of all those spoons scraping on all those bowls.)

Badger, I think you're in dire need of Breakfast Therapy.

I do think I'm a little PTSD about it. But it's just so crap and everyone buys into it! Fight the cereal propaganda!

Toast Toppers are uncannily similar to a jar of salmon and summat babyfood my dd vomited on the M25 in 2001. I couldn't do anything about it until I got off it.Dear God, the stench lingered for weeks.

I never really understood soggy spagetti in a tin.

Im not a huge Cereal fan, give me toast any day!

My mum used to give us Mr Brains Faggotts [boak] and Liver and Bacon with mash, as an adult i don't eat offal AT ALL!

As for tinned meats, i heart Corned Beef although i guess after my last statment this is where your all going to tell me it contains innards aren't you?!

Most convenience food is a con, i can make an Omlette in minutes thats tastes ten times better than a soggy pre packed Sandwich, the prices you pay at motorway service stations are bloody ridiculous dp brought a bottle of water and a plain Ham Sandwich at one when we were driving to Cornwall and it cost him £8 !

My kids will eat Billy Bear "Ham" when i let them, which is not often although the woman at the Deli counter in Tesco always gives them some free eyeballs mini sausages or a slice of Billy Bear "Ham".

God, my mouth is watering now. What is in haslet? I used to love it on sandwiches at school. Also salivating thinking about Toast Toppers, Sandwich Spread, Findus Crispy Pancakes, Pot Noodles.

Haslet is just bread, pork entrails and offal and onion.
Bear in mind I am a girl brought up in a cordon bleu restaurant, where we served up our rabbits when they froze to deatn in a snowstorm. And ate our pet sheep.
the description jyst made me boak.

I also cannot eat corned beef for some reason.
And Toast Toppers are just puke in a can, no?

I have made chocolate rice crispy cakes before - but then I thought, why bother when I can buy them for tuppence ha'penny from the shops....it's not because I am lazy, just that I would rather read about Thomas Cromwell and the Reformation than melt some chocolate whilst sporting an A-line pinny...

Oh, I fancy a crack (thinks again about offering crack gags on a plate - crack cracks even) a go at making my own haslet

Meh.

DH bought some chocolate crispy cakes for a PTA thing. I suppose we technically did have time to make them ourselves. But we didn't have the inclination sadly.

I suspect we were roundly judged.

Mmmmm, faggots!

It's all about the branding! I always have a sneaky frozen pack of 2 faggots in the freezer, DH thinks they are the devil's work.

Jack, did you call your rabbit dish 'Death In A Snowstorm'? There's something rather mystically appealing about that, don't you think?

I've never heard of haslet. And thank goodness for that, by your accounts.

A dear friend of mine buys pancake mix. :rolls eyes: Despite the fact that I give her boxes and boxes of my beautiful organic hens eggs. Bah!

Found a haslet recipe
