My Guru makes Lasagne at 60p per portion: recipe
Note: my Guru only buys "free range" meat.
Although I am a bit extravagant with meat, much of my vegetable stuff is from my allotment. |
To be fair, her portions are mouse-sized, I'd need at least 3 to keep me going through the day without snacking. |
I hate you, I really hate you. In order to prove you wrong, I've just spent half an hour calculating the calorie content of a portion of Jack Monroe's home-made Lasagne. Its in the order of 450. Way more than a mouse would eat. (About a third of what a working man would eat.) |
Though you have to wonder what people think happens in the food industry;

Watching that woman on daytime TV, I wondered if I could recreate a supermarket ready meal for less than the shelf price. |
I assume many people reading that piece, comparing the �2.69 M&S meal with �0.60 homemade, would be thinking they are saving �2.09, but only if you ignore that someone has been paid to make the M&S meal, someone has been paid to make the packaging, the cooking uses un-costed time and fuel, the subsequent storage costs you money. Add onto that the testing required, the need to clean & comply with food safety regs, the greater wastage they'd have if they omitted the e-numbers. You can soon see why it's �2.09 cheaper. |
