Plenty of healthy food to choose from if you can prepare a meal from scratch.

You dont have to buy sh!t food - plenty good food if you look

For example: Oranges, frozen raspberries, frozen blueberries, organic oats, peanut butter and chilled water in a breville blend active - breakfast sorted

Its really not that difficult

Depends on supermarket. Most have Linden Village.

Are frozen berries safe to eat without cooking again?

It was few months before virus I noticed decrease of number of products with my favorite mango (fruit). Any idea why? Some poor mango harvests last year?

I find shops in the south better. In the north they're more a sweet shop with packaged **** and fewer veg etc

I have been putting straight from the freezer into my smoothies for years with no problems. I use both organic from my garden into the freezer and the bags of frozen fruit from Aldi.

If you are worried you could rinse under hot water in a sieve for about 10 seconds. I would say cooking them first is not required.

Some shit food is lovely though. It might ultimately kill you, but it's lovely. I'm talking about those frozen ham 'n cheese jambons, Birdseye fish fingers (on white bread with proper butter), SuperQuinn sausages, Heinz alphabetti spaghetti.

I'm finding in this weird and unsettling period, it's nice to eat comfort food that reminds me of simpler and happier times.

Anyone know if you can still get Angel Delight anywhere? Haven't seen it in a while.

There was a warning a few years ago as many were contaminated. They're so handy so that's good to know, thank you.

Advice is to boil them for one minute. I got norovirus from frozen raspberries late last year, only looked it up after that, and realised the advice on boiling them still stood.

What is OP whinging about? What exactly does he expect to buy in a Supermarket. Great market in Wuhan. Speciality is undercooked bat soup. You'll literally change the world after a bowl of it.

Definitely. Picked up a few packs of cheese slices the other day when panic buyers had cleaned out Aldi - "Cheesy Singles" on the packet. Hadnt had them since I was a child.

Also got few bags frozen hash browns, bbq sauce and floury baps. Sometimes its hard to beat the simple stuff.

Compared to even a few decades ago I think our supermarkets are very good but you'll always get a fussy cxxt

Rubberchikken

Our foods fine.
And we only give the best dog food to our dog. Tbh I think she eats better than I do and I don't mind:)

Maybe ive just been lucky then. Theyre so handy to get the smoothie ice cold. Think i will start boiling them then add ice instead.

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: ah grand because you've been fine and in your expert opinion rinsing in hot water is sufficient we should all ignore the FSAI notice that is in place to boil all frozen berries for one minute prior to consumption. You should let the FSAI know

Fruit, veg, meat of various sorts, fish, dairy products, eggs, oats, flour, tea, some herbs and spices, pasta, rice, sugar, tomatoes - in any form or a sauce. Tinned food if isolated, handy in an emergency with no nearby shops.
But most food is processed too much, try and stick to the raw ingredients as much as possible.

One comfort food...homemade apple tart.
Just need flour, butter, an egg, water, cooking apples, sugar.
It is nicer than any in the shops, homemade is the best.
No need for highly processed comfort foods with ingredients one would never have in their own home.

I can only get plain olives. My usual kalamata nowhere to be seen. I'm outraged.

Kalamata with feta available in Dunnes.
But they're the evil one's according to some posters!

Yesterday I went to the Cheese Press in Ennistymon and they were selling a lot of goodies and some really good bread and cheese on special offer.

Its a really good town to shop in, the local butcher is good too, they've all that Halal sauce it's delicious.

Its a quite town at the moment and Supervalue and Aldi had staff members pointing out the hand gel for people to use coming and going.
And the friendly door man in Supervalue is a right good banter.

The local pharmacies in villages in Clare are selling hand sanitizer at an affordable cost.

Living rurally won't stop anyone from getting the virus but we are probably at an advantage to urban dwellers.

Seen posts from Dublin and Cork the last few days and the queues are horrific..

I was asked should frozen fruit be cooked first. I would consider cooking fruit to be a lot more than boiling for 1 minute. I was obviously unaware of the FSAI notice and have already said I will boil my fruit from now on.

So roll your eyes up your hole and while yer at it quote where I said "we should all ignore the FSAI".

There's always 1 arsehole in every thread these days.

There was a documentary on Pangolins on earlier, why anyone would want to eat that worries me

It's fair to say, given the current pandemic, our man Jayzee has 99 problems but a b1tch ain't one. Cos he's clearly got b1tchin down pat..

Come on now, my family live rural and it was the exact same in local shops as it was in Dublin

Day of announcement, first one, no trolleys outside the Aldi and people panick buying

Brother went into local town yesterday and same s**t still going on

Yeah, there was a fear around “E. coli”. As far as I know it’s still there but, as jj880 said, I’m still using them for smoothies.

Maybe the “blending” does something that just eating them directly from the packet doesn’t? Either way, I’ll still sneak the odd berry straight from the packet.

Not in Ennistymon. Its my local town.

Are you doubting my sincerity?

I would rate our food as OK.

The problem is the race to the bottom in terms of price. A chicken costing circa €25 is going to be a different product to one costing €3.99.

There is no such thing as "****" food.

Be grateful for what's there.
