Scrambled eggs can be turned into a luxury by adding a small amount of fromage frais. If you make an omlette with say a spoonful of fromage frais (add it as the mixture begins to firm and stir in) and add some crab (out of a tin will do) and drizzle with sweet chilli sauce you can have a lovely cheap feast.

My food has tasted so much better since I started making stocks. When you are done with a chicken simmer the bones for a couple of hours in a pile of water with any old veg you have lying about and that will give you a great start for a mulitude of soups and sauces.

Go to your local grocer. Mine is a lot cheaper than either tesco or asda and the quality is spectacular.

Last one. I usually grill bacon. But if you buy the good stuff you can fry it then cook your egg in the bacon fat, wonderful taste. And you have to have brown sauce with a good bacon butty, nothing beats "Daddies".

And for you brown sauce fans.....beware...both Daddies and HP are going to be made in Holland soon. Doom, Holland is the home of shite hot house veg and cheap chicken.

NOOOOOOO!!!! They may take my life, but they'll NEVER take my HP!  :x  :x  :x


I did create some really nice Sweet and Sour kinda gravy the other night.

Made from a combination of mostly chicken stock cubes and some standard bisto, you mix up about 500ml's worth. Lightly fry half a large onion and a small clove of garlic (very small clove), add the mixed up stock and allow to reduce slightly, add a couple of teaspoons of honey and about half a teaspoon of english mustard. Stirr it all up well and reduce until desired consistency. Is really nice on chicken!  :)
