Pretty sure I’ve seen a thread on here about this before but can’t find it. I’ve just downloaded the app and bought 2 surprise bags, 1 from Greggs for £2.60 and 1 from Aldi for £3.30. Has anyone used it before?

I've used it a few times now, actually had a greggs one on Monday, chicken bake, cheese and onion bake, honey glazed ham baguette, 2 yum yums and a doughnut for £2.95. Pretty good deal

I've bought 264 in total 🫣 just checked my account from varios outlets.
Greggs is good for the money. Baynes is on the next level.
La Barantine is excellent.Last edited by Itsnoteasy; 16-12-2023 at 07:11 PM.

I had one from Morrisons Daily last week and it has put me off a bit. 4 (four!) pints of skimmed milk that was out of date that day, a sour cream dip that was already out of date, two Ginsters slices and some pitta breads that we stuck in the freezer.

Not quite the same but I love the big fruit and veg boxes from Lidl that they sell for £1.50. They can be a bit hit or miss but I like that you can look through them and select one that suits.
The sell by dates on fruit and veg are quite irrelevant anyway, I'll happily use stuff if it feels, smells and looks OK but even if you are a bit more careful there is so much you can do to preserve and store fruit and veg.
I got a box the other week with 8 onions. Used a couple and the rest can be chopped and frozen. There was a dozen apples, again chop them and freeze them. A pack of celery, used a couple of sticks, blanched and froze the rest. There was about 5 bananas that were close to being past it so made banana bread and banana pancakes; the latter can be frozen and make a good quick breakfast. 2 packs of carrots, used a couple then blanched and froze the rest. There was also a pile of different herbs which can be chopped and frozen in a little bit of oil and just added to a dish as required. I also make chutneys, jams, relishes etc and you can get the bulk of the ingredients out of one of those boxes if you are lucky.
Having loads of chopped veg and herbs ready to go is great. If you are using them as a base for a sauce then there isn't any need to defrost them, just chuck them in and go. As long as you blanch stuff like carrots and celery they keep a decent texture as well.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

I have an Ooni pizza oven. Recently made a pickled pineapple and nduja pizza with hot honey. One of the best pizzas I’ve ever had.

That sounds interesting. Is there a particular recipe you would recommend online anywhere?

I had a couple of ooni pizzas at the weekend and I’m absolutely sold, gonna see if the price comes down after Christmas and order a pellet fuelled one."...when Hibs won the Scottish Cup final and that celebration, Sunshine on Leith? I don’t think there’s a better football celebration ever in the game.”

I’ve ended up down a proper rabbit hole with pizza dough, experimenting with different hydrations, biga, poolish, sourdough etc.
My only warning on a pellet one would be that they used to need filled up all the time, not sure what the new ones are like. I’ve used the old Ooni 3 pellet oven and it almost had to be someone’s job just to keep the fire going while someone else made pizzas. I have the Koda which is gas and it’s definitely a lot easier to use but obviously loses that fun side of the wood.Last edited by Stubbsy90+2; 20-12-2023 at 07:39 AM.

Ooni gas is much better than the pellets so much easier to use.
East pizza dough is great if you can’t be bothered like me making it!
