Haven’t had anything out of a jar ages. Just don’t bother.

Although genuinely one of my top ten favourite meals of all time is my university staple. Fry off some chicken, pour over half a jar of Sharwoods Tikka Masala, reduce a bit and serve atop a bed of oven chips.

You can give me all of the haute cuisine in the world son, but very little of it is beating ^that.

I’ve got some of this in the house and never thought of chucking it in with eggs. Inspirational lad, cheers!

I have absolutely no shame in using pre-made curry paste as I don’t have room to have individual little jars of the various spices in them.

I need to get myself a tub of this next time I’m at the Chinese supermarket:

Blue Dragon curry paste isn’t great imho, and the own-brand stuff is even worse. Happy to make my own for a special occasion but you can just whack a couple of tbsps of this in with some noodles and coconut milk and it’s pretty good straight away.

While we’re all enjoying some classic DiS food snobbery it seems that Kellogs have AXED Ricicles, I like Ricicles and this is sad to me. Attack me about that if you want.

Also, pesto in a jar is perfectly fine for a midweek meal.

does that have a sort of aniseed taste to it?

#74

are they less salty than cubes? - I don’t understand why stock cubes need to contain so much salt - let me decide how much salt I want to add cube people!

#75

No but there are a few varieties of it. The one with dried shrimp in is peng(e)

is your stock hot on the stove?
You don’t just do boiling water and the stock pot in a jar on the side??

Stock pots are far better for risottos

Too true. Butter chicken one is my fave

Got admonished by the GF the other day for using jar jalepenos instead of fresh ones

#84

but jar jalepenos are there own thing - like a pickled chili. Or were you chopping them up and frying them, as that would be weird?

Yeah it’s hot on the stove…I thought cubes worked better for this as they’re more concentrated.
