Modern life is rubbish - the evidence thread

[blahblah]

It would help if one of the hours of Cookery on tv each week did more basic stuff i.e. what people might actually, really cook....

Thought this for a long time. A cooking show where the ingredients are standard fare available in any supermarket rather than only from trendy markets on the 3rd Monday in August

It's worse than that... A Pizza Express Pizza costs under a quid to make and how much do they charge?

Things to do post Sunday Roast....

Lasagne can be far cheaper than bung in the oven...

Its easy to do basic home cooking. A lasagne as you say, chicken and mushroom pie, a curry.

Ergh to last 2, surprised you didn't mention Fish Pie

Fish in a pie is a waste of fish.

And spuds.

Pastry’s insanely difficult, isn’t it? (never actually tried...)

Teaching people is one thing, but time’s the big problem. Unless we get Labour’s 32-hour week, people don’t have time to cook, it’s something for enthusiasts only. So people need ready-made stuff that is cheap and healthy.

No spuds in a chicken and mushroom pie.

Yep to pastry, but nah to time

[forestfan]

People work longer hours than ever. There are no housewives/husbands these days. People don’t have time.

At its basic level its just flour, butter, salt and water.. When people say they dont have time its because, in general, they spend the time on laptops, smart phones and games consoles.

Or because they quite understandably don’t want to be slaving away in the kitchen for hours after a long day at work?

Pastry is crazy difficult and gross.

It lost it's benefit years ago with fridges....

Well, a good pie is still great, give Pieminister a go for example... one to be left to the experts though!

Cooking doesn't need to take hours

Hard to beat a good pie.

[unc.si.]

How did you lot get from healthy home cooked food to pies

[unc.si.]

Anyone tried a pie barm?

[blahblah]

Anyone tried a pie barm?

I am far too pure and innocent, but I'm sure you have

[unc.si.]

No, but last time I was at the Rugby I saw a group of 18 stone lads tucking into pie barms on the way to the match.

Only in Wigan

They do do a good pie though. Galloways in town centre. About £1.50 for a meat and potato. None of your overpriced Pieminister rubbish

[blahblah]

Pie barms are worse than chip ones and Brad's injections.

[Zimmerman]

Apparently... someone’s kids school photos have the option of being airbrushed

What a time to be alive

[hancockjr]

I really hope that's not true.

Edit: True but from America. That's cheered me up no end...

Two YouTube “celebrities” are headlining a pay-per-view boxing event on Sky.

This has no more place on a sports channel than Strictly Come Dancing does...

[forestfan]

And in other news, Harrods are restricting their Santa’s Grotto to kids whose parents spend at least two grand there...

And quite right too. The ungreat unwashed have no place in such a Great British Institution. Does Dodi's dad still own it?

He sold it to the Qataris, I think...

I came on here specifically to post that - beat me to it!
