Did you know that...

... It is possible to buy pulse spaghetti made with chickpea, pea and lentil flour which contains protein, essential for the body's growth and repair.

... Easy Cook Long Grain rice takes 4 minutes longer to cook than regular Long Grain rice (but allegedly is less sticky once cooked, with separate fluffy grains).

... Tesco Jammy Rings are nothing like Jammie Dodgers - and I mean *nothing* like them.

Amazing what you can learn while doing the weekly shop.

Interesting to know that and I'm glad we learn it from you too :D

I know what Tesco is, but I don't know what a Jammy Ring or Jammie Dodger is. I'm assuming that is what is pictured above though.

You're an attentive shopper!

@ Shionge: Never let it be said that blogging isn't educational ;-)

@ Cheryl: Not attentive enough though - all these years I've been buying easy cook rice thinking it'd be easier (i.e. faster) to cook, and only now do I realise that it's just as troublesome (or not, as the case may be) as normal rice, only it takes 4 whole minutes longer to cook! Bah!

Jammie Dodgers are super-yummy round biscuits made from shortbread and raspberry flavoured plum jam (pictured). Jammy Rings are Tesco's cheap - and very unsuccessful - immitation. Double bah!
