    Had the Thai red curry paste tonight, and thought it was incredibly bland.

    Is there any place you can buy oven plastic roasting bags. They are really handy for roasts but aldi nor tesco stock them.

    Like Turkey bags? We always got them in Dunnes, granted it's been a couple of years.

    the bratwurst sausage s are delicious, we had them on a bbq during the week, and they were really good inside a finger roll with some hotdog pickel and ketchup, they were equally good this evening again when we grilled them and served them with some mash and gravy.

    extremely moreish.

    (the chilli ones by the way)

    Will report back in the morning. He’s delighted they’re increasing their lactose/dairy free range.

    The 0% fat greek yoghurt is great. I use it as a creme fraiche/cream replacement.

    I was surprised it looked just like spread, I was expecting green stuff.

    Just saw in the weekly brochure that they've added two new Indian curry sauces to their Specially Selected range.
    Indian Makhani and Vindaloo.

    Just add it in near the start of cooking before oil separates from curry paste.

    I saw that, but it's double the amount of saturated fat (if you're watching that kind of thing). So I opted for the avocados and I'm happy enough!
