Nice pile of sporks John... and they sure are pink aren't they :)

But how do we know you took the pic, you could have googled it... ;)

I think it should be as Pandabean said...

Attach them all to your belt and you will never be short of a spork.

Let's have a pic with you and the sporks so we know for sure :D

Ahhh but John is a charitably minded man....I think a (substantial) donation / collection might sway him :)

Hmmm pink ....
OK, Breast Cancer use pink as their fund raising colour - if someone can prove to me that £100 pounds has been raised and donated to the Breast Cancer charity I will get photos of me USING at least one of the Pink Sporks while also holding the other six.
Who is up to organise that? :)

keep meaning to invest in a food dehydrator.......let us know how you get on?

I suspect I'll default success a few times, but I'll try to remember the good and the almost :eek: .


also what the hell is root barks?

Root bark's the root vegetable version of fruit leather.

Can be used as a base, thickener, soup or nibble.

may have to invest in a dehydrator


Do it Sam, one of the best investments I've made. I saved a fortune by dehydrating my own meals for the TGO

I've not looked at any of the fruit stuff yet but I will get round to it one day.

The Westfalia for around £30 is all you need really

do they come with a recipe book?

I bought mine second hand on here so I didn't get one, loads of free info and recipes on the web. Have a look at babelfish5 on youtube for some ideas, Andy Howells blog has some good info too.

For meals it's pretty straight forward, avoid dairy for a start, you can get away with a few days or longer if it's frozen, but as a rule any fat is hard to dehydrate as there's little water content, it also goes rancid very quickly. Pre-cook pasta and rice before dehydrating, it rehydrates much quicker than cooking from fresh. Keep you chunks small, especially meats, I find minced beef and lean lamb to work best, chicken is better if it's shredded slightly.

Rinse off fat by placing cooked meat in a collander and then pouring a kettle over it.

I've just cooked large batches of chilli, curry, stew, bulked them up with plenty of carbs and calories and then dehydrated for 24 hours or so. once dried I weight them out into roughly 450-600g portions depending on how active I'm likely to be.

I will happily donate to see that. :)
I have no idea how to organise such a thing though, seems Steve may be on to it.
