Shepherds pie is often on the menu here. I do us individual ones, one with mince and one with veggie mince. With all the veg the meat can be sparse!

I refuse to grow old gracefully

dont forget the lentils..lol…nobody has ever spotted the lentils in the mince, in fact they usually ask why i buy them as theyve never seen them in their food, we grow as much of our own veg and fruit as possible, protein is always the expensive problem on a budget , cheap unprocessed meat is usually pretty vile ,processed meat although usually tasty can be made of practically anything , we eat tons of pulses, a lot of mince and since they put a rotisserie in the co-op a lot of end of the day CFC chickens, 2 of them can feed the tribe , be portioned out into chicken fried rice , then stock for the freezer and theres no additional cooking costs hardly

See there, kayerunrig, we do the same thing..and if we had more money than we do, I would still do the same thing~ laugh
