Do you do much food preparation or are you Mr convenience?

In the modern world, it's entirely possible to go through life with no culinary skills beyond sticking a packet in the microwave for ten minutes then emptying the contents onto a plate. Many people have hectic lifestyles or simply have never learned how to properly prepare food from basic ingredients. Others balk at the idea of eating processed food and will go to great lengths to prepare proper meals.

Are you the kind of person who eats out of packets or do you make yourself "proper" meals?

Personally, I prefer actual cooking. My parents always cooked proper meals as I was growing up so the idea of convenience food was kinda alien. Also, I find stuff you make yourself is simply so much nicer. Plus you get the benefit of knowing exactly what's gone into it, I dread to think what kind of shit they stick in most packaged meals.

I also think there's a great sense of satisfaction to be had from preparing your own meal from scratch, especially if you're feeding other people too.

So your thoughts please kids. Are you a cooker or a packet fiend?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm with TRZD on this one.

A microwave meal will cost you three or four quid whereas you can pick up enough basic ingredients for three meals for that if you know what you're doing.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
