[Food] Ainsley Harriott Cup Soups.

[Worried Man Blues]

I think I remember a soup machine at Crawley swimming baths, back in the day. Seem to remember sometimes areas of dried powder that hadn't quite mixed...............

Dislike him nearly as much as Jamie Oliver so I'm out.

Surely your old enough to remember the mug a soup range, that Fanny Craddock endorsed.

I haven't tried the lettuce variety yet.

They had a poll on their website, I voted Romaine.

 

[Official Old Man]

Also got some a few years back on a bogof offer or were they cheap at Aldi. May have been the latter. Very tasty.

[Robinjakarta]

Then, surely it would be diced carrot soup?

Absolutey and I still enjoy a taste of Fanny's special.

Was in Padstow last week and there was a queue outside Rick Steins chippy for £19.50 for fish and chips when a shop in the town was £8.95!!! WHY? just to say you have eaten Rick Steins chips ( which he has never seen or touched)...The cheaper ones were very nice ad got a seat looking at the port.

That's Padstein for you.
Probably made the better choice

That Jocko chef, Ramsey lives in Rock over the other side.....

Well to be fair he does own the town now, that's why it's been renamed Padstein.

Another celeb chef Nathan Outlaw has a restaurant at Port (Doc Martin) Isaac, just along the coast too.

They have one in a my local toolstation, with the obligatory display model only Makita builders radio on top to entertain the staff.

The machine has been turned off due to Covid, I'm not sure if they are planning a special re-opening.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

I'm sure that Ainsley is a really nice bloke but any 'chef' on the telly that says Sally Salt and Percy Pepper makes me doubt their credibility.

The thai one and hot & sour are my mid morning choice at work, rather than hoeing through sandwiches. HAve tried others but these 2 are good.

I've been trying to work out what "hoeing through sandwiches" might mean but I'm at a loss

He always reminds me of my old mum who once said, “I do like him, he makes me laugh but I couldn’t eat any food he’d prepared”

Yes she was a racist.

It's £12.95 at Rick Stein's, to eat in - a huge bonus with small children, compared to the constant worry about them diving off the harbour wall whilst you're trying to eat.

I'll be there in about 6 weeks.

Heinz tinned Mulligatawny infinitely better than AH packet version IMHO

I have a real liking for Oriental hot and spicy soups, but largely the packet and canned offerings taste nothing like the originals.

Ainsley's Mulligatawny, Hot & Sour, and Thai soups are much more like the real thing.
