I had never seen it before and I will be getting it again
Real bits of green herbs aplenty and the flavour is better than my own so I love Mutti martyrs and sauces

Mutti Martyrs are delicious, but not easy to find round here.
Grandma always used to buy Cirio Martyrs.

Round here, Mutti Martyrs are available from Tesco and Morrisons, as are their pizza sauce. I keep them as āstore-cupboard-essentialsā, hark at madam. Also Rummo ridged conchiglie, Aduki beansā¦so much stuff. I do wish that Iād stocked up, in such a neurotic fashion, with olive oil.

Iāll try the Bigger Tesco in town, Soo
I havenāt been to the FeckināNormous&SoulDestroyingTesco for almost 4 years now.
Have just been reading an thread about oils on MumsNet. I used to buy the best olive oil that Aldi/Lidl had, & keep a couple of bottles in stock, but they are, sadly, used up now.
The price is frightening.
I also used to buy cold-pressed Rapeseed Oil from The Refill Fairy which is produced in the next county.
Must get some more.
Marigold stock powder izzan store-cupboard staple here.

Butter is used in a lot of baking
A good natural product
Unlike a lady I was talking to a couple of weeks ago
Margarine for health in a butter shortbread!
A known carcinogen in place of a small amount of a good natural product
All those trans fatty acidsā¦

Margarined carrots really arenāt as nice as buttered carrots, are they.
And the larded carrot is probably an Aberration.

Lard is useful in sausage making
Helps get the 80-20 pig lard ratio
It makes for a juicy moist sausage
And stretches the pork

I detest lard, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to use it.
Not really - just felt like popping up to state that,

Lard & dripping were part of my childhood.
Margarine was a block, & mixed half & half with lard.
Butter was only used for special baking, like shortbread, or Viennoiserie.
Late SiL made fabulous pastry, & only ever used lard.
Different times.

Morning all
Wet and cool here
Just the day to go to water colouring class
I am the star pupil - blind and with a severe tremor makes for a perfect picture you know!
Still I have fun with other ladies and we are kept out of trouble for a couple of hours
B met the Bull on the road yesterday and apparently she is sending her J round for lessons in romantic behaviour from the Bull
She would like the odd bunch of flowers and anything nice under her pillow on their anniversary
The rally crowd just want the Bull to stop making the rest of them look bad!
