"Great recipes from the back of packets, cans etc" Slight oxymoron there ... :)

Between Wednesday 6 and Saturday 9, no one came in to add a comment, and as it was only jmin's second ever post in Recipes, she might have done some looking about in the intervening time and taken fright at the packet-bashers who post from time to time ;)
Just a guess...

there's a very good chocolate raspberry cake recipe (Chocoholic cake it's called) on one of the butter packets, might be Anchor.

Judging by the nasty comments posted in various threads on here, I'm beginning to think there is something in the articles I have read about restricted diets affecting brains.

what brains?

Surely they have brains or at least did. Maybe they just don't work too well now.

with some comments, it makes one wonder at times.

I wonder who the nasty ones in here actually are? All the venom being posted seems to be coming from this small band of posters plus ellihen of course.

jmin I use recipes from the backs of packets. For some reason I cut off and saved in my file a Healtheries recipe for mixed grain bread and I'm so glad I did because the next week they had changed the packaging and removed the recipe. It is tops. So remember to save any good recipes because they keep changing them.

like a bee to honey ( excuse the pun) makes a change from the usual posters I guess. Holier than thou for effect...just gorgeous.

You're preaching to the converted - minus one notorious packet-basher.Very pleased that you've seen the light and recognise that there's more than one way to cooking heaven ;)

I never mentioned you so why the comments? Though it seems every time I post, you seem to take offence.

kay, I wouldnt even get into a discussion with this poster...its an invitation for the ranting to begin.

Umm. I think if you double check that I don't bother much with you. I answer questions that people ask and you come along and make negative remarks about what I post. In this thread I saw a number of people talking to themselves in a very nasty, bullying manner and pointed it out just so that you would understand just who the nasty ones really are.
Actually I have no problems with recipes from packets. I actually have to use some packet and processed goods on occasion - gelatine, milk, butter, yoghurt, flours, sugar, tinned fish, tinned tomatoes, eggs, cat food, chocolate, cocoa, dessicated coconut, etc and sometimes they have worthwhile recipes on them, like the Healtheries Gluten Flour product I mentioned.
On the other hand it is probably quite correct to say that great recipes from the backs of packets is an oxymoron because the base food is not very healthy.
And before you all get upset, every Saturday (except this week) even the Herald agrees with those of us who think that processed foods are not healthful and has a big article every week just to explain why.

One small post from jmin; one giant leap into assuming that people are advocating processed foods!

Buzzy110 has often told us what a super intelligent family she has and how hot she looks in her underwear, but somewhere along the line she seems to have lost her manners. I never saw any bullying apart from her and one other. I think I'm considerably older than buzzy110 and I use packets and tins quite often with no ill effects.. Sometimes all my meal comes from a tin or packet especially if I am short of time. As for the recipes on them, they are like the Food in a Minute ones, very speedy if not economical but great once in a while. They can also give you ideas of different ways to use things.
