Poor Shot Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Not that 30 Y/O is really considered as young but I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at that. I would also have had 5-6 rounds of wholemeal bread for haddock and mash sandwiches and mop up the sauce afterwards. My mother used to make similar dishes every week, scratch cooked from fresh. All while working a 40 hour week in a supermarket. Scratch cooked food is something that you rarely see these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That looks delicious. 8 minutes ago, Poor Shot said: Scratch cooked food is something that you rarely see these days. Unfortunately, even those that can cook lead such busy lives. I recently retired, having the ability to start preparing food in the afternoon is brilliant, I've had dinner and sat down in the armchair before I'd have got home a few months ago. It's also an excuse to open a beer. After shooting tomorrow I'm making a fish pie and baking some bread for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
