Smash instant stuff... (2 Viewers)

[hugh]

When I was a kid/early teenager I went through a phase for years and years whereby I couldn't/wouldn't eat potatoes. I'd start gagging as soon as I put them near my mouth. I once vomited all over the table in front of my parent's dinner guests when trying to eat them.

Anyway, I was on a camping trip when about 16 or 17 with some mates. One of them pulled out some Smash and I had a sudden uncontrollable desire to eat it. Which I did. And thought it was yummy. As soon as I got home I graduated back onto real potatoes and haven't looked back since.

So, basically Smash cured me of potato aversion, so for that reason alone it is .|..|

Cool, cheers for that. I made a really nice gravy for christmass last year with Bisto, but not granules. Reckon the secret was to put in things like butter and cream. 'Normal' gravy is made with plenty of meat juice / fat - I think it makes sense that these need to be substituted.

Let us know how you get on anyway!.|..|

There's a bucnh of recipes online but they all seem to involve a stock cube.

Jill's idea sounds good though.
