I have only a small freezer, though. And I am shopping - with caution - not getting deliveries. What are really useful to have in stock are those cans of ready-fried onions. She said, a bit late to be helpful. ---

And I knew about them well before bloody Delia started spouting about them this time round! That wumman gets on me mammaries to a not inconsiderable extent. When I say ‘this time round’, I mean her relatively recent series about shortcuts and so on, not ‘How To Cheat At Cooking’, which came out in the Dark Ages and is really the poisoner’s vade mecum, imo. Not the current flapdoodle. ---

Trust me, they work really very well in many curryish scenarios. If fussy, one can drain them first. ---
