Just a thought- My wife and I would usually spend 100 a week eating out in restaurants in NYC. The pandemic rules were that unless you got the vaccine, you weren't allowed to sit down and eat. My wife was vaccinated , I was not so we went to New Jersey ( 20 minutes away) and they got our money. Now that the rules have been relaxed , I don't eat out in Ny anymore , I got used to just eating at home and the restaurants have all raised their prices anyway.

Have you tried any new recipes as you got used to eating at home?

Cool. Has she ever tried anything like Hello Fresh? That seems to be a big thing now for some.

I think hello fresh is for people that need help making meals. Cooking is part of her job. She went to school for dessert preparation.

My FB feed is bombarded with ads for Hello Fresh, Gousto, Simply Cook, etc. I wasn’t sure if they were for people who needed help making meals, or whether they were just a convenience thing.

It's both or either. I know how to cook decently well, but sometimes you get stuck in routines and want new ideas. Sometimes it's to save the time and energy of planning it and shopping it

I still haven’t trialled Hello Fresh. For me, it is about getting out of my comfort zone. I am sure I can cook anything (if in doubt, find a recipe), but each week, I seem to stick predictably with meals such as cod and chips, a jacket potato and salad, or something like beef and potatoes. Time to explore a bit!

Time to explore a bit! What? No jellied eel & pie? I’m joking. I’d rather eat a kilo of haggis before I ever touch a gram of jellied eel… I quite like haggis, actually. I’ve had jellied eel once, and the texture and appearance was the deal-breaker for me. The taste wasn’t terrible, though. And here I sit touting my affection for haggis, while condemning eel for its aesthetic qualities… what’s wrong with this picture?

Oh, I don’t have a problem with eel sushi… or the flavor of eel. However, jellied eel just looks like something that the dog threw up… How poor Londoners survived on this for 300 years is beyond me. Did I mention that the dish pictured below is traditionally served cold? No thanks.

It looks like it's going to jump out of its bowl, grab your face and lay an egg in your stomach!!!
