Thanks Tina. I looked it up. Looks nice but were on state pension so may have to pass and stick to berries and cream.It's ice cream.
I stumbled on something akin to ice cream. If you buy frozen berries and add a few to Greek style yoghurt then leave it it for five minutes to slightly defrost you can then mix it all up and it is surprising how delicious something so simple can be. I havn't tried this with double cream but I can't see why it wouldn't work in the same way. Enjoy!Thanks Tina. I looked it up.

We do this with Greek yoghurt, mix frozen blueberries in to it, gives a nice ripple effect to it.I stumbled on something akin to ice cream.

There was a thread on here ages ago, talking about the expense of LC living and so on, and I can recall being astonished when one member described what meals she managed to achieve from various things. On think in particular was from a chicken. It just went on and on!
I can't for the life of me remember the member's name, or I'd try to find it, but it was a fab thread. I wonder if @Brunneria can recall whom it was.
I can’t remember her name either, but she used to visit her local butcher and spend £1 on a bag of chicken carcasses.
She roasted them, then took the meat off the bones (several portions of meat).
Then simmered the bones to make chicken broth (several portions).
I was fascinated and did exactly the same.
There were 6 chicken carcasses in my carrier bag, which yielded 500mls of meat (i put it in a measuring jug as i pulled the pieces of meat off the bones). Then i got a couple of litres of the most fabulous stock too.
All for £1
I have same money to feed 4. Can you feed 4 on £22 per week. Including women's toileteries and to keep the house hygienic? £1 for school events and dressing up days and bus fares or running a car needed too. Clothing, rent contribution, bills and housewares comes from kids money. Hence a bus journey is our lot for days out.Ok am I missing something here? I see people talking about food is expensive. I’ve lived on JSA when I have been through jobs and have survived on £10 or lesson food. Most veg are less than £1 for cauliflower/cabbage etc. Fish in Iceland is £10 for 3 bags (12 pieces, inc salmon, trout and tuna)
This is about planning and knowing where to shop and how to shop.
Yes there are expensive items like coconut flour and chia seeds but these can last for months.
It’s also about buying less expensive items. Thighs over breasts, Store brands over name brands.
With Britexit looming, we are gonna no to have to learn how to tighten our belts more. It might be a good idea to do a thread on the different meals you can do with one food item on a budget.
a self inflicted wound. Let's hope that the fall is not repeated.As mentioned above, sterling plummeting against the Euro and US dollar might be good for exports but not so good for the large amount of fruit and veg that we import. The big supermarkets absorbed the cost for a while but their profits will always be more important than feeding the nation. Living in a backwater like I do I'm lucky to live near several farmer's markets and several family run vegetable shops which sell at excellent prices compared to the supermarket. Better still, hardly any packaging to worry about.
And if you don't have a pressure cooking vessel, slow cooked in the oven at 120 degrees for 12 hours yields immensely tender and tasty results.Pork or ox cheeks anyone? Beef shin, oxtail, breast of lamb, lamb's heart, flat ribs, or any ribs for that matter. That'll be us.

Keeping the oven on for twelve hours is going to get really expensive...And if you don't have a pressure cooking vessel, slow cooked in the oven at 120 degrees for 12 hours yields immensely tender and tasty results.

I’m finding it expensive to eat LCHF as I don’t eat meat or cow dairy so cheap cuts of meat aren’t an option for me.
No, I’m allergic to all mammal and bird meatDo you eat chicken? Chicken is pretty modestly priced, very versatile and goes a long way , including stock and leftovers for soups.
