Are you 'avin a bubble?

Somebody is 'avin a laugh, surely?

Instead of making the delicious traditional dish of Bubble and Squeek from 'fresh' leftovers we are now able to pay over the odds for a ready meal alternative.

Cooked, chilled, packaged, sent to a distribution centre, picked, palleted, sent to a Supermarket, stored, sent out to the shop floor, carefully rotated to the back of the shelf, eventually bought by you, carried home, left in the fridge, until finally microwaved and served in a soggy heap.

Makes leftovers seem fresh by comparison.

And you've got all the extra packaging to dispose of.

    As of 22nd Nov the Bubble & Squeak cost £2 for 650g.
    Tesco Potatoes 45p for the same weight, Sprouts 33p, Onions 60p & even the most expensive ingredient, vegetable oil, £1.04 for 650ml. The mark up is higher than a good restaurant where they serve you the food and do the washing up afterwards.
