Teamedup Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I don't buy much ready made or processed food and never have. But you have now brought up something else that I really like on the odd occassion and that is Capitaine Igloo Fish Fingers, think that they are made with lieu or colin. I like them with my own mashed potatoe and cooked beetroot.A friend of mine always serves beetroot raw, she didn't know you could cook it. I don't think it has as much flavour raw.

charlie* Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 I'm a kind of pickled crinkled cut type of beetroot girly myself...I just love it on a cheese sarnie.I never knew you could eat it raw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 It is crunchy when it is raw. She used to grate it like carrot. She ran a chambre d'hote at one time and I often wonder if her guests knew what it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW I think its brilliant the way these topics digress.[/quote]Poor Steve! He'll be wondering if we are taking him seriously... I wonder too if he has found a happy medium to stay in Frogland with his partner, his dog, the chicken and goat ... la basse-cour quoi! Probably learnt to use a chainsaw and getting 'un petit peu de muscles' with all the wood he needs to chop down at the bottom of his garden/property.Maybe he is busy in his garden with his tomato crop to try out the delicious home-made Heinz recipe earlier on in this thread or tending to the beetroots!...So much to do! Certainly not enough time to sit around and wait for better things to come along! Those better things managed to miss the ferry and got lost on the way to his place!!!!!!.........

Teamedup Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Charlie, they don't even have as much juice as a carrot coming out of them when raw and being grated. Well her home grown ones didn't. Did you know that carrots should really be purple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamedup Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Carrots always used to be purple. The dutch changed their colour to orange, naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamedup Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I would buy some if I saw some. Never fancy those black spuds you can buy these days though, although they may well be very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letrangere Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 I became somewhat addicted to Heinz cream of tomato soup and every now and gain I will need a fix !Me too, often. But I don't think of it as tomato soup, which any idiot in possession of some tomatoes can rustle up. The Heinz cream variety is so sublime it's more akin to, um what, dare I suggest sex in a can?

Deimos Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 When it comes to tomato sauce (for e.g. Fish Finger Sandwiches) I’m afraid Heinz have another winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shas Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 great, so Im not a complete heathen then, will still try tartar sauce though,. fish is good for you and tomatos are good for you, so fish finger sandwich with tomato sauce is all thats required,,,,,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaligoBay Posted June 25, 2005 Share Posted June 25, 2005 And cooked tomatoes are EVEN BETTER for you. It's true!! Cooking tomatoes loses vitamin C, but hugely increases other beneficial compounds.Here's a randomly-chosen article about it, which ends with the observation "A timely piece of research, given the recent decision by the British Dietetic Association to endorse canned foods from Heinz as contributing towards the healthy eating target of five fruits of vegetables a day."http://www.nutraingredients.com/news/news-ng.asp?id=35165-cooking-tomatoes-boostsYou see, there's always a silver lining, if you know where to look.
