Come on Alan! Sugar knows what’s good for us…

So I was in the local shop today, buying my bag of ‘BEST OF BRITISH’ Premium Potatoes. 2kg for 99p – not bad – but not quite as good as 2kg for 23p in Tesco the other week (gotta love them yellow and black discount stickers). OK, so they were very nearly out of date and I shouldn’t have bought so many bags coz we now have enough frozen mash in the freezer to last till the next millenium, but I just can’t resist a Great British Bargain!

Anyway, I digress…I spotted today’s Mirror while buying my spuds, and couldn’t help notice that Alan Sugar is joining the fight to get us out of this crunchy mess we seem to have gotten into. “Where possible – BUY BRITISH” says Sir Alan. Good Lad…

Easier said than done though ain’t it mate! We can but try though eh!

Want to know more? Look in the Mirror…

Proper British Comfort Food. 01 – Farmers’ Pie

So we’re in the depths of a typical British winter. It’s cold as chuff outside which means only one thing. Time to dig in to some good old fashioned comfort food! Now don’t get me wrong, Shepherd’s Pie is nice, but when you want something a little bit more special, Farmer’s Pie is where it’s at! This simple recipe for farmers’ mince is a posher version of Shepherd’s Pie, with the mouthwatering addition of Parmesan (yes you can get British Parmesan) and parsnips in the potato topping. The recipe also gives details on how to freeze this hearty meal so you can stock up good and proper. Tuck in…
