General   (General discussion, talk about anything.)

Ozzielass,if my message saves just one soul then it has not been in vain.
Some members talk of their mother's cooking and the food they ate then,as I have said,that especially for people of my era,processed foods represented a very small percentage of our diet,the fats we ate helped to sustain us during the winter and enforced shortages,chocolate was a luxury to most of us and the only take-away was the local chippy,who served up fresh fish albeit in a greasy batter.
Today's generation don't seem to have time for old fashioned cooking or any home cooking at all and herein lies the problem,people are not eating healthy. Despite all the pressure advertising from processed and fast food companies,fresh is best but I'm prepared to accede to the saying that a little bit of what you fancy does you good.
As for my shopping yesterday,I bought a mango,some paw-paw,peaches,nectarines,oranges,strawberries and bananas along with some veges.My fish was a fillet of silver dory and wife choose some smoked trout,which we had for dinner with salad,followed by a fresh fruit salad and accompanied by a bottle of dry white.
