I really don't think it matters.

You can eat mushrooms raw, I often do. Just eat it.

if you're still alive in the morning, then the mushrooms were ok.

And if your happy and giggly in the evening, then the mushrooms were definitely OK

You're wasted on cycling Will. Masterchef is crying out for a man of your talents...

Heston, Ramsey and Hugh Fearnley-Poshbloke are probably hanging up their aprons right now.

Those mushrooms don't look cooked to me .. .. .. .. ..

someone who can make a pasta bake like that should have no problem negotiating Oldham's complex road network.....

Whole idea of a 'bake' is to bake it in the oven. That's a saucepan is it not?!?!?! What sauce did you use?

I use Homepride Tune Pasta Bake sauce.

And it went in the oven, 180 degrees fan, in the pan...

don't forget Will is a student - it was probably a choice of either that saucepan or a bucket...

Hell I'd eat that. Probably enjoy it too... it has cheese - which is on the banned food list as i have to drop 2 kg. But then i am a student too!

In my first week as a strudent I set my wok on fire on a rather large way (many students in the Aberystwyth class of '97 have pictures of a large ginger bloke running down the road with a flaming wok; it was a beautiful thing).

That left only the bucket for three long years

hhmmm having seen that I want tuna pasta bake NOW!!!! who said advertising doesn't wrok, I'm starving!

iain_j

I can't criticise. I've made several variations, home-made or from a jar, and they all look like something you find on the pavement at the end of a Friday night.

Always tastes delicious though

This is one of my favourite threads ever.

Brilliant comedy from title to ending.

aarw

tuna and pasta works... i do one with spinach, pine nuts and some tomato pesto which has turned into a bit of a regular when i want to stock up the night before.

I forgot the sweetcorn

With the left over mushrooms I'm going to fry some mushrooms, sweetcorn and bread :twisted:

aarw

sorry, did you just say fry? :shock:

You philistine, I spit on you all over your disgusting body, then I curse your ignorant ways a bit.

If you're a poor student, why are you wasting money on sauce in a jar, when you could make it for a fraction of the cost? There, I wish you a financially more secure future of cooking for yourself - seriously, you can save hundreds of pounds a year.

But I have to buy veg then and it'll cost as much.

I might try making me own next time.

Nah, never. Get your arse down to your local greengrocer, and trust me on this one, it's definitely cheaper to make it yourself.

You need to stock up on the basics - flour, cooking oil, rice, pasta.... buy them in as large quantities as your student kitchen can manage. Then check out your local Oxfam bookshop for cookery books for £1.99. Get ones with 5 or 6 recipes to a page, rather than a recipe and a nice photo over 2 pages ( :x bloody BBC chefs...) and you'll be making large savings in no time.

Oh, and use a small portion of the money that you save to buy yourself 4 or 5 decent knives. I discovered about halfway through my first year at uni that quality knives take all the misery out of food preparation.
