Whats your new SW food discovery??

I was really craving some fried rice and curried onion out of the chinese the other night. Instead I decided to make a packet of Batchelors beef savoury rice (0 syns) and mixed in some Mayflower curry sauce (very low in syns). I fried some onions in fry lite and added that too. It was delicious

Where do you get mayflower curry sauce from never heard of it.

Where do you get mayflower curry sauce from never heard of it.

You get it from Farmfoods. It comes in either medium or hot. It's a powder so you just add water.

Will need to double check syn value.

Not tried them yet as not been delivered to our consultant BUT - Rocky Road Hi Fi Light.... wow can't wait!

So it turns out the curry sauce isn't as low syn as I thought I thought it was 4 syns per 100 grams of powder but its actually 4 syns per 100 grams of made up sauce.

I guess it's still better than having a take away though lol.

is that the creamy one it's 12 syns if you don't use healthy extra bit heavy.....

Suppose you could try it without the 3 Ryvita, saving you 6syns or a healthy 'B'.

Dominion sugar free sweets from Aldi. Clear fruits (lemon, orange + blackcurrant mix) are 5 syns a box + stawberries + cream flavour + butterscotch flavour are 6 syns a box. Well worth it!!

Co Operative eat in British Elmwood chicken breast with tomato and chorizo

Went to the co op and this was in with the reduced items and it was EE 1/2 syn red 1/2 syn and green 11.5 syns (per breast) and it was really tasty. Shared it with my son but had I known it was only 1/2 syn would have eaten the both breasts!!!

I think this sounds yum. I'm going to try this out later for tea. Thanks for the idea.

Tesco Value Chunky Tikka Chicken, free on EE and Red, is proper tasty and filling with a salad or some rice. Really quick and easy and not too expensive, i like to have some in the fridge so I can make a quick snack with it with some cucumber or somethin, when my kids are eating their dinner so I am not picking at their fish fingers

hi everybody, i'm in need of some advice.. i would like to try the sw recipe, salmon parcels with noodles and veg, for those who havent got that recipe, they cook the salmon with a tsp of honey , some soy sauce and fresh chillies.. my question is do you think it would taste ok if i used white fish instead ?

 

[Bernie74]

Hiya Lunameredith,

I can't see why you wouldn't be able to tweek the recipe to use white fish. I'm always swapping things in recipes especially fish and meats. I guess theres only one way to find out and hopefully it will work. The recipe sounds really nice, Could you post that recipe for me please.

If you do swap the fish please let us know how it was.

Good luck
