crazy lazy things to buy in shops...

[jackie j]

Regards to the jelly pots its my daughter that eats those and they get eaten quickly any other jelly or indeed anything OH eats has to be vegetarian AND sugar free as he is vegetarian and diabetic thats why we were using the weight watcher ones and the only place we have found them is in a garden centre lol ( its a bit far to keep going there ) we stock up if we find them.

They used to be - depends on whether gelatine is listed in the ingredients.

Is there a list of ingredients on ice cubes?

[janeyo]

I bet they have some weird stuff added... and I bet they say 'serving suggestion, put it in your pimms' and they may even say ' warning, contains water' lol

I don't have a problem with people buying these products if they can't open the jars, packets, chop things etc... just lazy ones, like if I decided to go and buy them, then that's wrong!

I don't make the breadcrumbs,I buy them.Reason?When I was big enough to help at home,my parents used to give different jobs around the house to me and my sis.One of them was making breadcrumbs-crushing pieces of dry bread in old mince maker.I HATED it and I'll never do it again.
As for food,I'll agree with ready mash potato,also cooked pasta.The idea of ready meals is a bit strange to me.Haven't got time to cook?Eat a sandwich instead.
As for 'lazy" kitchen equipment-electric can opener.Is it really so hard to stick it into the tin and turn twice??

[Waffler]

Not sure if this counts as it's not exactly a food, but it's definitely lazy. Pot Noodles! What is with them? They surely have the nutritional value of a piece of polystyrene.
(apologies if anyone has already mentioned them.)

What about those of us who can't do the turn twice bit? I can't even pull the lever to make the electric tin opener puncture the can anymore ring pull cans for the win!

Another favourite piece of kitchen equipment is my hand blender for the very reason Coreopsis mentioned, only I used to have to grate fresh bread for breadcrumbs as taught to me in Home Ec. Awful, awful job!

My handblender chops herbs, bread for crumbs, onion......the list is endless!

Shirl my nan has really bad arthritis in her hands and she got this catalogue with loads of stuff to help her. I wish I could remember what it was called, but we got her some and it made her a bit more independant again.
One of them was for jars and lids and tins, one of them was for picking things up off the floor, one of them was for threading needles...

Might be worth a look or have you tried them?

Mashed potatoes in a tray!! why?
