I just got a can of red kidney beans out.
On the label was a little picture with the words "Serving Suggestion" below. The picture was of a little white bowl full to brimming with aforementioned red kidney beans.
Phew!
That was a close one!
I might have mistakenly added them to a chilli con carne and committed a right old cullinary faux pas!
Only problem is, I haven't got any little white bowls.
Do you think it will make a difference if they are red (might the beans blend in too much) and does anyone have any suggestions for the mince I cannot now use (there was no serving suggestion on that packaging)?

Now wouldn't we just!
Since noticing those I've also stopped putting Weetabix in the toaster.
And it's all a free service too. I would willingly support them doubling, nay trebling the price just to continue receiving these handy hints.

youll have to make the mince into burgers i think thats what it says on the packets under label,
it always says makes homemade burgers,
i dont know how the mince does it myself,
i never got past the rinsing of the mince
it goes thru the culinder down the drain

Deanna - the lettuce would be deviating far too much from the suggested manner in which this dish should be served.

Got it! I'm going to make my fortune! Colanders without holes.
