Subj: Angry food rant

There is no known cure for pancreatic cancer.

If it is caught early enough the pancreas can be removed and one
goes on insulin. Having said that, the survival rate is a mere 8%.

Removal of the pancreas is *NOT* a cure. A cure puts the cancer
into remission.

Put that way, yeah, there is indeed no cure.

That's pretty much my recipe except I don't add carrots.

Breading/coating are the only legitimate uses for corn flakes in
my personal estimation.

I'd rather use toasted fine dry bread crumbs but Roslind likes the
cornflake crumb mixes so we do that occasionally too.

Title: Andy Capp's Chicken Breading/Batter
2 c Andy Capp's Hot Fries;
- coarse crushed

Not a familiar brand name here. I had to look that up. It turns out
that it's not sold in Canadian supermarkets. Amazon.ca has it at
$2.99 plus shipping for a 3 oz bag. No way I'm going to pay more
than a buck an ounce for processed starch! My upper limit for chips,
breakfast cereal, cookies and the like is $5 per pound. I generally
make my own. Flour is 50 cents a pound.

My latest home hack: adding vinegar to Bold HP sauce now that Heinz
has wrecked it and adding lemon juice to VH Chinese sweet and sour
sauce which Conagra has wrecked, then combining the two to make a
sauce for grilled pork chops and deep fried or shake & bake oven
roasted chicken.


Cheers

It's also a fast mover. Unlike breast, lung or colon cancer where the
patient can hang on for years.

I'm pretty much with you. Partly because I don't stock cold cereals.

Amazon US and WallyWorld both come in at about 24c/oz. The only time
they are ever in my home is when the supply at my workplace has reached
its "sell by" date and labelled "manager dispose". Rather than bin them
my store manager allows employees to eat or take them home.

Sounds decent. I've never seen the original HP sauce. Just parsed the recipe(s). But it looks decent. Heinz, ConAgra, et al have a lot to
answer for in effing with decent products to enhance their bottom
lines by a few pence.
