Re: Uses for Flour.

We are not able to use the Dove's as it contains maize - aka corn. This has forced us to learn about a lot of other flours but is a right pain. If we ever ended up with WW2 style "you get what we have available" type rations we would be well stuck. Avoiding both is really hard as so often ...

Re: Uses for Flour.

I'm very grateful to yourself and all who have been so generous in providing information. I've spent a lot of time on Youtube on topics such as the pros and cons of non - stick saucepans, how to use a plain stainless steel saucepan for cooking foods that stick, poaching eggs, and so on. Sticking my...

Re: Uses for Flour.

If using milk instead of buttermilk I would add some lemon juice. Buttermilk is acid which reacts with the bicarb to get the farl to rise. If using milkyou will need to add the acid seperately.

Re: Uses for Flour.

Chappatis do not need a non-stick pan. On one memorable occasion we went camping with friends who were due to arrive later. They were surprised to be fed curry, rice and chappattis all cooked over an open fire by Mr Gillybee. The chapattis were cooked on an upside down wok.

Re: Uses for Flour.

My last frying pan came from someone on ebay selling "box opened" stock. Which let me get an expensive pan for the price of a basic one. You may be able to find one the same way to let you practice without expending too much cash. Alternatively, you could try using more fat with a standard...

Re: Long-term storage of meats and fish? What options?

I do like the cured and dried meats as a fridge free meat option. My family are not impressed with the standard of canned meat available so bacons and chorizos are a better choice for us. Some of the supermarkets sell shelf stable sausage products but they are expensive. As you have access to a meat...

Re: Uses for Flour.

Egg powder can be bought online and would be a good thing to store simply because of it's protein content. The body building community likes egg white powder which would also work and may be easier to find. There are a lot of possible egg substitutes - most are trying to replace just one aspect of t...

Re: Uses for Flour.

If you are not much of a cook, a little time on You Tube looking at camp cookery videos might be a very good prep. To my mind, the easiest things to make with flour on a camping stove are fritters or pancakes. You will need a little fat and a good non-stick pan. I have no success with other pan type...

Re: New here

There are lots of similar examples from the Twin Towers to Grenfell. Being able to make a good & rapid decision and see it through seems to be key to survival. Waiting for someone else to take the lead seems to sometimes be deadly.

Re: Advice for a hopeless gardener

I am not convinced that is blight. I can't seen anything "fungal fluffy growth" and I have always seen at least a little of that with a bad/collapsed plant. All about blight here with pics. https://horticulture.co.uk/potatoes/blight/ While this is frost damage https://www.allotments4all.co...
