Focus on Cheese

Cheese is one of our best and most economical protein foods. It is extremely versatile and can be eaten at any time of day, cooked or uncooked. As sauces, salads, cubed, made into a pie filling or for sprinkling as a topping it is easily digestible and comes in so many different types and flavours you will be able to find one which suits all tastes and all age groups.

Cheese is known to have been eaten by Greeks, and Romans over two thousand years ago. Cheese probably originated with nomantic Arabic tribesmen, who carried ewes milk in bags made from a sheeps stomach. The Heat of the sun combined with the rennin in the stomach 'bag' would have turned the milk sour, creating curds and whey.

Bloomin' Brilliant Baked Beans

beans Every week I get feed back from 'Big Brother' who tell me a lot about the visitors to the Frugal Foods Website, and it appears that there's a recipe on the website which is, week in week out the most popular recipe on the site. Which one is it? This one http://www.frugalfoods.co.uk/index.php/sausage-abaked-bean-casserole

What is it about Baked beans? They are derided as a staple food of hippy students; easily heated in a microwave and very cheap.
British supermarkets may sell store brand baked beans for less than thirty pence a can premium organic brands can see prices at nearly 80 pence but Baked beans are a classic example of aloss leader, a product sold by supermarkets for an abnormally low price, often less than cost.

Just be educated however, all your life you've been lied to, as they are not baked beans, they're stewed beans.
