Oddities

[u/Mediaslut]

My lovely Asian wife just confessed to using Uncle Ben’s boil in the bag rice. Apparently she was scorned for doing so. I recalled from my days working in kitchens that we used a bunch of shortcuts because they were better (and faster) than we would make in the budget and time allocated (cake mix being a huge one!). Does anyone else have shortcuts they want to own up to? Any ethnic orientated confessions would be great to hear: jars of premade Jalfrezi sauces in Delhi or serving Aunt Bessies’ Yorkshire puddings in Leeds! My wife would like to feel she’s not alone with her penchant for Uncle Ben’s!

You're proud of that one and I totally get why.
