Until they have tried making crisps, potato peeler, air fryer and lots of mistakes, maybe some blood and loads of learning. Down side, they need salt - or if you are feeling really reckless melt sugar in a pan and run them through. That is food - and the grand kids will think you are God. :)
I make “crisps” for our youngest. Big tatties, cut on a mandolin, soaked briefly in boiling water, then olive oil and a hot oven, little touch of salt and a thin spatula to peel them off the tray. Taste great

always looks like a massive batch, to keep for days, but tight to last one sitting. 🤦‍♂️

If you do make crisps and use a mandolin to slice them straight into the hot oil, don't try and get the last bit out of each potato, mind you no-one complained about the bit of fingertip amongst the crisps so it might have been quite tasty.

It's actually rather a good game, this:

  • Vegetable Oils in varying proportions (39%) (Rapeseed, Palm, Sunflower),
  • Water,
  • Olive Oil (21%),
  • Salt (1.1%),
  • Buttermilk (Milk),
  • Emulsifiers (Mono- and Diglycerides of Fatty Acids),
  • Preservative (Potassium Sorbate),
  • Acid (Citric Acid),
  • Natural Flavouring,
  • Vitamins A and D,
  • Colour (Carotenes)
Is a "healthy" substitute for milk........
I should have said this is a spreadable pretending to be butter thing. Just eat butter.

I was chasing the Parcel force chap on Friday, I only live in a semi-detatched house in a village but by God he was an elusive little bugger! He set off in his van and shot off before I got there and to make matters worse he'd only gone to turn round and I had made a move back to the house making me too far away to stop him.
Checked on Google that the Post Office he left it at was open on Saturday morning, make a special trip in and get informed that the shop is open but the PO counter wasn't.
Another trip in this morning was needed, all to keep the Defender pointing in the right direction for more than a split second!

If they will wrap at all it’s something. Had some so loose a year or two back they wouldn’t roll on the wrapper. Slumped to a triangular shape. That was a fun night, not.
Put a belt of wrap on, pick up with handler, rotate 90 degrees, put another belt on, rotate again, commence wrapping at half normal speed, stopping every 2 rotations to allow the bale to fall down into the table again......
The joys of other people's bales!

Council workers , 2 of in separate vans , parking opposite side of road from all other parked cars so you can't get through with any thing bigger than a car.

Why? So the could take pictures of a pavement issue. Walk from 25 metres away ? 🙄🖕😡
