So, are you saying he should perhaps make a pie now, and keep it in the freezer in case his killing urges surface due to lack of pie?

If you don't hand a bag of peanuts on your balcony everyone will avoid you, pointing and saying 'there's something not quite right with that man - HE HAS NO BIRD FEEDER!'

I should add the bird feeder was only a requirement for pensioners.

What if you don't have a balcony either? :'(

Windowsills and other hanging spots will suffice. Only if you are old, though, it seems.

Then you don't need peanuts at all.

I am disappointed with the misinformation that caused me to go and buy 6 tonnes of peanuts in case I was shunned from society, and which now I do not need...

Hang on, so does he have to make pies out of the birds or the people he kills on his rampage? I'm confused.

Are you allowed to eat roadkill! My grandad lived in Derbyshire and was partial to taking home any fresh looking road kill for my grandma to make into a pie. Rook pie is very good apparently.

Roadkill pie sounds not very nice.

6 sausages, grill them so they are brown.

Cook it a bit longer and put the sausages in raw. Then all those tasty tasty fats will end up in the sauce instead of in the bottom of the grill pan. Easier to wash up too.

But you won't get the tasty tasty caramelised bits. So in fact, pan fry the sausages, then use the pan and retained fat to fry off the onions.

Is not as healthy and I'm on a health schtick at the moment.

Further modification, fry the sausages in a griddled skillet pan starting on a very high heat so you get extra caramelised bits without it being overpowering.

I have all of those ingredients, yay!

What I do not have is a suitable caserole dish, boo! I might have to nip out and buy one tonight along with a few other non-food items.

Can I freeze what I don't eat?

Casserole is done. Tastes good. Thanks MaliA

Hey, I've got that 'DS Chef' thing - I'll plug your ingredients in and tell you what it says you can cook.
Tomorrow.

A bit far just to get some veg. I'm sure a local supermarket would stock that kind of stuff.

@Mr Chris - on the DS?

Ha! No, it was a programme for the PC. I am yet to own a DS.

Hail Msoptykakakakaka. Also, Mimi, I have a bird feeder, and I'm dolescum, so "NYAH" to claims it's 'socially aspirational', there's good feeding on the birds.

Oh, I don't thing that it said anything about social aspirations, but rather that you needed one to participate in society. So, without one you are some kind of social shut-in, not quite a full person. I think the old term was something like 'social retard'. If you don't hand a bag of peanuts on your balcony everyone will avoid you, pointing and saying 'there's something not quite right with that man - HE HAS NO BIRD FEEDER!'

Keep them til Christmas and give them to daft old relatives. They'll either eat them or use them to increase their popularity in the hood. Innit.

He can eat free food as long as he estimates its value and takes that into consideration. I'm sure he could find some human body part prices on the black market, but they may take him significantly over budget.

Mali's sausage caserole: serves 3: 6 sausages, grill them so they are brown. In the meantime, chop up and onion and garlic and fry them a bit. Get a big pot, add fried onion and garlic to pot with a tin of tomatoes, half a pint of chicken stock and maybe some boiled potatoes., and herbs. Cut sausages up and add to pot. Place in oven for an our at 180 with a lid on. Serve with whatever.

I have just read this thread, and have one concern from a few comments made. CG you seem a little uncertain as to what you can and can't re-heat from frozen. Just make sure anything you do re-heat you heat properly, otherwise you could be saving a lot money by eating hospital food for a few weeks. Also, I know it was mentioned way back when, but chilli is very cheap, and combined with rice is a good meal. You could get 4 meals for less than £3 this way.

They've just been talking about frozen food on The One Show. They compared the prices of a meal of fish, mashed potato, peas, broad beans and corn on the cob made from fresh and frozen ingredients. The fresh cost £3-odd and the frozen was £1.50. They also said frozen vegetables can be as good, if not better than fresh. And it's cheaper with less wastage. Get ye to Iceland.
