Belatucadrus Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 What says "Bimbo" or "Himbo" more than having to buy toast, presumably operating a toaster is just that bit tooo difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Ready made mashed potato, roast potatoes, yorkshire puddings, and countless other basic foods are the consequence of the young of today not being able to cook. They can buy toast and a tin of beans and create a culinary wonder. For pudding - a slice of bought cake with lashings of ready made custard. Oooo yummy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 We have on occasion used ready made mashed potato, though I'm not a huge fan as the texture is just wrong, proper mash has some variation in texture no matter how long you mash it. I think chefs that feel mashed spud should be a uniform homogenised paste are wrong and guilty of serving an inferior product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalph Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I like my home-made mashed spuds. Nothing like them can ever be packaged and sold in a supermarket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 We used to call it Pom, and it was bloody awful. If I remember correctly POM was an off shoot of the wartime years. It had been developed for the use of "Our Lads" at the front and it was available after the end of the war for those who wanted it. The scout troop that I was in consisted of about seven or eight of us but only three of us used to go camping, taking with us POM........good old days. We are still in touch after all these years.
