Via BBC News - The rise of lazy foods.
I pity our next generation, I really do.
On the subject of buying pre-sliced, pre-peeled foods, I can sympathise with those that do, even though I don’t personally. It is a pain in the ass to peel potatoes every goddamn time, and so is doing all the slicing and dicing, sometimes.
The only veggies I can think of that I buy pre-sliced or ready to cook are packets of stir-fry veg. Hey, you try finding bamboo shoots, water chestnuts and the like separately!
I quite enjoy making a meal from scratch, because there’s something quite satisfying about feeding yourself. It’s like being an adult, or something. Having said that, I do retreat to a few staple meals rather than stretching myself. I really need to vary my range.
