You seem like a fun guy* returning all this stuff to us

* I appreciate that TMN is not a guy but then this already weak joke doesn't work at all

I dunno, I can't see mushroom for improvement.

Not mush room for error there.

EDIT Dammit, crossposted. And my (attempt at a) joke was worse.

That's right Doc, button it!

I appreciate that prepared veg is convenient for some people. It's all the disposable plastic packaging that saddens me. Locally Tesco seem to have stopped selling loose button mushrooms, so they are only available in plastic cartons that we can't recycle and they end up in landfill. I really object to this, but I do return the cartons to Tesco if I acquire one, so they can have the problem/expense of disposing of them.

I *think* my local council recycles these - http://www.nottinghamcity.gov.uk/bi.../your-local-recycling-sites/recycle-it-right/ I assume they come under the "Plastic tubs, pots and trays" category.

Worth mentioning to your local council if they don't take them, I'd suggest.

I'll admit to hating grating, but I rather like using a knife to cut things up.

I even have my own knives 'cos Mrs MY's knives are never sharp enough.

I agree on having you own knives, i do likewise.

Better to vote with your wallet , and buy from a shop that sells them as you prefer .

(though button mushrooms are the iceberg lettuce of fungi)

I'd never thought of it like that when I saw grated cheese in packets. Thanks for making me think a little differently

Reminds me of the dried grated Parmesan that my parents used to buy in the 1970s in a cardboard container with a plastic swivel top. As soon as it had been opened it made the whole larder stink like a Sumo wrestler's armpit. I mean how hard is it to grate a little cheese?

This sort of thing?

Yes, that's the stuff. I'm appalled that it's still sold. There must be a Human Rights law against it somewhere

 

[smutchin]

Every time I see this in the Supermarket I think why would anyone buy this?

The worst thing about pre-grated cheddar is that it's coated in stuff to stop it sticking together in the packet.

But it's useful if you don't have the hand strength to grate it yourself - my (late) mother in law used to buy it for this reason.

Warm Brie is hopeless for grating. You don't find that in bags, do you? I suppose it may be easier if the Brie was frozen first. And then grated, tossed in that non-stick gloop, and bagged. Then you could microwave it before serving. It would add a continental twist to any other pre-cooked meal or snack. Or can be eaten on it's own. Just got to think of a name for it now.
