Please don't beg, it's so demeaning.

I don't use tinned tomatoes in my bolognaise, just oil, sugar, chopped onions, garlic, minced beef and tomatoe puree.

Non, non, non, non, non, non, non, NON!

Spag Bol is diced onion, chopped pepper (x3 red, green and yellow), mushrooms quartered or halved depending on size, tomato puree (loads), pesto (loads), 2 tins of chopped tomatoes with herbs, crushed garlic (3 segments), veggie mince (for the lady of the house, but we all like it), a squirt of tomato ketchup (the secret ingredient), and four Oxo cubes made into paste with a little boiling water (2 veg, 2 beef - the lady of the house doesn't seem to mind beef Oxo cubes - I don't argue about it any more). Feeds eight, or four people for two days.





SUGAR?   :-X

The sugar is to counteract the acidity in the tomatoe puree.  I put sugar in all recipes with tomatoes in.

How do you think they stop the noodles going soggy in Chicken Noodle?

"Free-range" Chicken Noodle I hope, Diane.

I would assume they under-cook the noodles slightly so they're able to absorb some liquid and not 'soggify'.

But Vulture we are talking months and months in liquid here. I just don't understand it at all.

OK. The truth is, they're not really noodles, they're lengths of four-ply wool!

Wool is not just about knitting; it can be used for crocheting, too! Which of these would you like to learn about?
