I did not realise people still used Oxo Cubes Yup, I do. Beef, chicken, lamb, vegetable - the lot. Used some when making a shepherd's pie yesterday. Though to be honest that was 50/50 liquid Oxo and French saveur de cuisine stuff, you know the Maggi stuff in the little bottle that always goes gunky round the top. Do they contain additives these days? I find the Colemans packet sauce mixes very good for throwing a pot of something or other together.  They only contain spice, herbs and a bit of cornflour The immigrant in the attic    Report

Flour? What is that about? I was a fan of Hellman's Mayonnaise. I like mayonnaise without mustard and that is difficult to find here. We have found one but it is not as nice as Hellman's. Hellman's mayonnaise had few additives and kept in the fridge for three months (if it lasted that long) lorna    Report

Dunno what in the Le Saveur stuff. Salt, mostly, I suspect, and possibly 'bone stock'. Why isn't there a fish Oxo?

I do like to have a tub of Bisto gravy granules lurking in the pantry though, cornflour has its uses, but sometimes only Bisto will brown, thicken and season in the way that I know and love.
