I used to have it on Kracka wheat with a Cup A Soup in about 1984. Now am diagnosed coeliac, so sadly cannot enjoy it any more, but they are welcome to film me recreating my Signature Dish, as my kitchen is utterly fabby and I am a gifted and talented cooker

((((hugs)))

I have it on toast with sliced banana, drizzled with honey and chopped pecans. mmmmmm

[thenightsky]

Jules 'they tried to nick stuff' Bet they weren't BBC darhling.

[Gracie123]

blueberry that sounds amazing! I know what I'm gonna be eating this evening...

The rest of you are all pretending not to be interested so you can knock out the competition. I know you all secretly want to be a philly hero...

[goodluck]

Tastes great mixed in with spaghetti, smoked salmon trimmings, loads of spinach, lemon and black pepper and top with chopped chives and glass of cold white wine.

Trick is to leave a tiny bit of hot water in with the spaghetti so it makes a bit of a sauce raher than getting claggy.

This was one of my WW staples, hardly any points.

[bluebump]

I mix it with red lentils that are still warm from the pan and put it in a sandwich for DS, it's very tasty.

I'm not being filmed either!

[RolandButter]

OH MY GOD
i wint this already
with the BEST CHILLI dip ever

you get philly
sweet chiilli sauce ( plenty)
some ritz crackers

your pjs
a movie
your sofa

mix the FIRST two ingredients.use THIRD ingreadient as basic scooping device.

assemble last three ingredients

(serving suggestion)

Lick plate clean.

[choccyp1g]

I put it into mashed potatoes. It's known as "the secret ingredient".

[choccyp1g]

That tip is worth £1000 alone.
If everyone always put a chunk of Philly in every time they made mash, sales would increase vastly.
(Except now I come to think of it, actually I use Sainburys own-brand mini-pots)

[NotanOtter]

oddly again - we are philadelphia brand - loyal.... other makes even waitrose are bleurgh all hydrogenated feeling

[Lulumaam]

I just tried it with pasta etc and I must have done it wrong. it stuck to parts of the pasta and not to others.. what do you need to do ??

[goodluck]

you missed my key tip, lulumaam, you need to leave a little of the pasta water in to make a 'sauce' otherwise it gets claggy and sticks

[seanbonbon]

This is why I LOVE mumsnet. Priceless

[Lulumaam]

ok, so water = no clag. brilliant !

[rockinhippy]

I'd be happy with a £1000 as prize money, just not for letting a film crew in my house

Having been around them on occasions, & having a few friends in that business, I totally agree with jules on that one - laughed at your shades & puffa jacket comment Jules - thats exactly how my 2 cameraman mates tend to dress - must be a uniform

[BendyBob]

Lol at not wanting film crews indoors

Blimey me neither! Oh look! Our family clutter on tv for the world to see

I do happen to be using it tonight with some pasta and smoked salmon. Everyone knows about that one already though. Cheers for the tip Goodluck! I too have experienced clagginess before..eeww

[Iklboo]

I've just had some on Crackerbread with raspberry jam. Like a cheap cream tea, it were (and bloody delicious).

[notapizzaeater]

I add it to mince, onions. tom puree, herbs and make a meatloaf out of it

[DebiTheScot]

I don't have any ideas but I like this thread for giving me some.
I like the very easy carbonara type meal one and the tub of philly with sweet chilli sauce and dipping things is amazing but quite scary when you realise how much philly you've eaten in 1 go!

I'm a bit fed up of the real people thing too. Kellogs have done it too with rice crispies haven't they?
Think about how much profit they must be making already with charging twice as much as supermarket brand and then they're saving money on not using real actors.

I only buy proper philly when it's on special offer.

[DebiTheScot]

And Rolandbutter an even easier way to make your one (as if it was hard in the 1st place!) is to turn tub upsidedown on plate and pour sweet chilli sauce over it. No mixing required.

Pasts free lasagne had me baffled for a minute

[BinkyB]

Ditto, am very bored of real people in adverts (apart from the Carphone Warehouse X Factor ones which seem to work better) and SO bored of brands asking me to upload my videos and photos.

My recipe:

1. Spread philly on 2 pieces of bread, stick together, cut off crusts.
   
2. Place head in hands that this is all that DTs will eat.
   
3. Eat the delicious cooked meal that they refused and follow with a packet of mince pies to make up for it.
   
4. Let out waistband accordingly.
   

No, you can not come and film this :)

[SlightlyTubbyHali]

I'm torn. I'd quite like a grand but would really hate to be on tv.

If they'd offer to do up my kitchen pre-filming I might get over my publicity-phobia...

(I realise this is unlikely: my secret cream-cheese recipe is not that good).

[AitchTwoOh]

the Lidl brand of philly is absolutely to die for, muuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuch better than philadelphia or any of the own brands. i don't use philly for cooking, it's gross. use CREAM, people.
