Quaker oats available in Intermarche, custard as mentioned easy to make and sooooo much nicer, horse radish, grow your own, curry / fish and chips make your own, how you can miss M&S food or Kentucy chicken is beyond me, but each to their own.       The Fridgeman If all else fails............ READ the instructions !!!!!!!!!!    Report
