For Mash Get Smash

[Hopkirk]

Does anyone eat instant mash any more?

[joeluke]

From what I can remember as a kid Smash is disgusting

Real mash - making it ain't rocket science, and it's probably cheaper to make than the packet stuff

[-Talbot-]

I would rather have something else, mamya. The kids won't touch smash either.

[ummmm]

That is very true, Joe, but the potatoes my corner shop sell make the crappest mash ever. I'd rather have smash.

In case people think I use smash...I don't :-)

[Mamyalynne]

As I said, I use frozen and add olive oil and butter or chives or spring onions - it's a really handy product.

[ummmm]

Frozen mash is okay, it doesn't taste too bad.

someone had to do this, may as well be me.....

I think frozen mash is a different thing altogether and the onion and chives would make it really tasty.. good idea when not cooking for a crowd...which I'm slowly learning - cooking for one is *** yet a learning curve

[joeluke]

ummmm......change shops to one which sells decent taties?

[flump1]

Oh golly NO, the very food of the devil. Given this to eat as children and had to oblige as no alternative, it is one of those foods I have never eaten as an adult , nor will I. The only good thing Smash ever produced was the advert.

[ummmm]

Joe...I do. I only buy Roosters. I rarely run out of spuds though.

[Mamyalynne]

I do buy spuds,but can't carry heavy bags and use a stick - so if I fancy mash always have some to hand.

As always can't beat the real thing.

[Prudie]

Does anyone remember Quip rather than Smash? My nan used to use it.

[joeluke]

Given the choice I'd pick a nice buttery mash over chips any day

[shaneystar2]

I find it very difficult to peel spuds ,in fact it's difficult to peel anything with my arthritic hands .I'm sporting a couple of plasters atm from gouging bits out of my fingers with the peeler .Morrisons frozen mash is very nice .I add some cream ,butter and pepper .Lovely creamy mash .

[DTCwordfan]

Maris Piper for mash and roasting, something waxier for spud dishes like a gratin dauphinois, ones that require baking as in a hot pit.....

A great jingle, "For Mash Get Smash", with music written by Cliff Adams.

Nice writeup here:
