You've bulked it out and it can make a hell of a lot more.

sometimes lamb can actually be quite a good, you know, you can find some quite good deals on lamb at the supermarket and they might not necessarily be with the other bits of lamb.

You know, I think that's also it because obviously supermarkets sometimes are, you know, trying to force you around a certain way and look at certain things, but you can buy often the sort of lamb cutoffs in bags and sometimes they might only cost you $10.

And from that,

you know, you don't need a lot to go a long way, especially with, you know, lamb is strong.

It's like a, you know, it's a bold flavor and you can take something like that and use it to make, you know, a lovely stew or something like that.

And it doesn't need to be the fancy cut of the meat, but definitely always go and have a little look around at the things that they're often hanging around on the bottom shelf as well, because they kind of don't want you to find it, I think.

But you can find kind of the offcuts and sometimes even

food is one of them things that it can be quite elitist in ways.

And so I think that, you know, the biggest takeaway is that just really start thinking about the things that you need and what you really want from your food and what that kind of looks like and not worry about anyone else and just sort of think, okay, this is what we've got.

This is what we're working with.

What can we really do with it to elevate it?

Textures are an amazing way to elevate food and make it feel really

you know so if you've got something like crunching you can put on top you know you've made a curry if you've got some peanuts chop them up and add them on and especially in the world of you know us all on our phones and social media and what's out there you know a lot of people are using ingredients that are really out of reach for a lot of people don't feel like you've got to keep up with the joneses right but you can still make amazing stuff and it not be breaking the bank

I was watching the other day and they had the wonderful Jamie Oliver.

He is great.

But

In the program, he was talking about using chicken thighs because they're cheap.

This is a program from the UK where, yes, maybe they are cheaper, but they're certainly not here.

And that's really, you know, if people are watching that, that's really, it can feel like you're not providing enough or, you know, being good enough that you can afford that.
