Things I never knew I missed until I started reading this forum...

Check the salad dressing shelf. They're there! 

Yeah, I actually like the ones they have at Morrison's better than the French's ones from the states - the ones here are less salty. I just bought some so I could make a chicken and green bean casserole this week! 

I miss having a big selection of mild cheeses. I have nothing against strong cheese, but in Mexican food, even the mild cheddar here seems too sharp, and I haven't found a suitable white cheese to use in place of the Chihuahua or Oaxaca cheeses (or even Jack, for that matter) used in many Mexican dishes.

If you have a Tesco, check the deli section for Monterey Jack. I found some this week!

Oh cool! We rarely go to Tesco because it's so far from us, but I will have a look next time I'm there. I only found sliced jack cheese at Morrison's and it was very disappointing. I just use the Mexican cheddar from there for burritos and things because at least its spicy. 

What? There's no green bean casserole chez Mindy?? 

No.  I think I must have left the country before the green bean casserole madness began.  I've never had it.

You need to use them and make some green bean casserole for Mindy. And stop us all from being sad. 

I'm sorry I made you all sad. What's in it besides green beans and crispy onions?

OK.  I'm never going to use them.

Score!!!

I will!  Last year we went of search of them at the farm shop only to find out my husband had bought the last two cans of French's. (We got another brand)  I used mine last year, I guess M didn't!

Mushroom soup, the condensed kind.

hmmmm

Wait, sorry, cream of mushroom soup, oops, sorry!

I had a friend in college who thought I was a culinary genius because I'd make him green bean casserole. I think he's right.

hmmmm

Is that a good hmmmm or a bad hmmmm?

GBC sounds kind of vile, but it's actually delicious. If you don't like the idea of the mushroom soup, I've made a 'gourmet' version of it before using cream, fresh mushrooms, etc.
