Real pork not the stuff squeezes out of a sausage. Then again when I tell people the Spag Bol starts out with Onion, Carrot, and Celery they think I'm weird. How else would you start a spag bol? Sofrito as that vege mix is called in Italy, or mirepoix in France, is the base for many good classic dishes. It should be diced very finely for spag bol though. Most people leave it too chunky.

I start just about everything with that three, doing a curry tonight to use some leftover chook, it’ll start with those some spud, some apple and sultanas I’ll see what’s around after that.

I think the cardboard would have deteriorated by now, but the potato noisettes would likely still be okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember them, made by McCains from memory, no Aldi back then. Not in OZ any way. Remember Jewels and Flemings supermarkets, plus Franklins of course, a few of them in the Sutherland Shire, back then.

I do all the cooking at my place as I am a frustrated Chef and Keens Curry powder is what I use, I think it is a better product than 'Clive of India Curry powder.

Loads of IGA's down here, Batehaven, Surf Beach, Malua Bay, Tomakin, Moruya. Very handy when you don't want to go into Batemans Bay CBD in the tourist season to visit Coles, Woollies, Aldi with all those pesky Canberrans about.
