Sorry, haven't got any suggestions
BUT WHEN did all this foreign food start to take over eh? Far as I'm concerned, rice is for Chinese people and puddin's with a brown skin on top!
Unless one has dietary or health reasons, what's wrong traditional food?
Pasta? It's like eating elastic bands with sauce over it. And since when did we start saying "do you want a juice?" Since Neighbours or Home & Away?
I blame all these cooking programmes, yuppies and keeping up with the Jones'. Either that, or it's the American influence and obsession with food. My mum never processed a wok and apart from "What's for tea" I don't ever remember conversations about food from the previous generation. The closest I ever got to a recipe was when mum made cakes and I cleaned the bowl out with my finger.
Despite apple crumble, the odd packet of custard creams, a few chops, fish on a Friday and a roast with two veg on a Sunday I'm still healthy and alive! You could offer me a £100 nouvelle cuisine meal, or a 'ruby' and I'd bin it in favour of a Sunday morning MH fry up (preferably with tinned tomatoes so that they soak into the fried bread
