Easier to peel it surely? :ooer:


:gigglesnshit: ..... Hi Stooo :Hiya:

Of course it's not hard to peel a potato :dunno: .... it's the convenience on occasion when required that makes it much easier :thumbsup:

Love the ready prepared colcannon too..... few minutes in the microwave...... loads a butter! :mrgreen:

Blending! It hides the veg from picky children. Hand blended pasta sauces are particularly good for hiding veg in.


Pasta is on the 'yucky' list too. Except for when it isn't :brickwall:

TBH, he will eat carrot, peas, sweetcorn and broccoli -its just what I put with it that causes problems :bawlin:


Oh that's good then, it's better if they get used to the different textures of veg apparently. Isn't everyone a picky eater when little?

It's very expensive but very convenient. A lot of old people buy it and people who live on their own but I usually have 4-6 mouths to feed so for us it would be very expensive.

I sometimes buy frozen sprouts though and they're lovely and also green beans when there aren't many nice ones in the shops.

I have used ready to cook veg but it is more expensive so only but it if I don't have much time. Usually I prep my own and blanch any I know I won't eat before its past it.

I don't mind chopping veg. It's quite therapeutic for me so if I've got the time I do it myself. Yes, swede is a nightmare, so is butternut squash but I love butternut squash and sweet potato soup. When I chop onions I keep my mouth shut (some people hold a spoon in their mouths), no tears for me.

If I'm pushed for time ready cut is a godsend but I prefer to diy mostly, because preparing food is part of the joy of cooking, and it tastes better freshly chopped.
