Here are 2 of my favorite recipes of all time. P stands for points, under
the British Weight Watchers system, so please egnore if you don't follow
this program. Branston pickle, is a sweet pickle sandwhich spread.
For the lady who was looking for meals to freeze, I freeze both of these.
Also, I make up tubs with the cooked pasta underneath, and the chile on top,
so when I need a meal in a hurry, I just wap it in the microwave and it's
lovely!
