Eck!

I ABSOLUTELY disagree with your recipe. How can you expect PDites to use a pair of scissors!!!

What you want to look for is the commercial , industrial size catering packs of wagon wheels, that come wrapped in silver paper stuff! They come in boxes of 48.

And don't you find the silver top on the milkshake a pain as well!

My recipe

Mushy peas (stays on the fork)
Some Tobasco sauce (makes it taste of something)

Mix and microwave.

Green = ok
Brown/black = burnt but edible
Smoking = probably give it a miss! Throw plate away as well.

Luxury version = garnish with a liquorice allsort.

This tastes terrible, but at least it's easy to eat when you're having a shakey day

Obviously I've lost the tips of all my fingers. But its worth it. (Remember to use blue cooking plasters.)

A little nick is all that's needed, then tear. So the cut-throat can come back out the drawer and go back to being a productive piece of precision equipment again.

As for the silver foil superglued to the bottle is a major obstacle a pen stabbed into the top (or dare I say scissors) in a psycho stabbing motion does the job. (Again be ready with the plasters). Blind Scottish rage works but you are left with an inch of milkshake in the bottle and the kitchen and chef in an unholy mess.

That could start a new thread or three, pd friendly packaging, pd friendly socks, pd friendly power tools, etc. Sorry if anyone has come a cropper following my recipe. I would put in a disclaimer, but you all really should know better than to listen to me.

thank you Spam and Eck (there's a yolk there somewhere but it escapes me for the moment) and back to Masterchef with scotland's national dish -
MacaRonnie Cheese.
Melt an enormous quantity of butter (note the liefmotif) in a saucepan.
Add the same volume of PLAIN flour - it doesnt matter how much as long as they are equal. WHisk with your plastic whisky thing. If you dont have a plastic whisky thing go and get a pudding supper.
When it is a paste add a splash of creamy milk. Whisk. When absorbed repeat until you have a sauce. By the way I should have mentioned cook the macaroni and grate the cheese,enormous quantities of cheese.And a symbolic floret of caullie.
add the cheese to the sauce and the sauce to the macaroni.
Put in the oven on a low heat for three hours until it reaches the rubbery quality of a retread tyre. Remember how yur mum used to make macaroni like this when taking your sister to Murrayfield ice rink and shed a few nostalgic tears. Tip ruined macaroni into bin. Wipe tears away and suggest a curry from the Revenge of Amritsar takeaway.

Lastly another favourite of mum's - haggis surprise. Put haggis in oven at gas mark whatever. Wait until oven door blows off. Suggest a etc etc.

While I`m still looking for free range creme eggs I`ve got this recipe for bacon risotto - not a real risotto but good all the same
For 2 people
2 portions of cooked rice put on one side
4oz of bacon chopped or ready cut lardons fried until going a bit crispy. Add
1 onion chopped small. Fry until onion is soft add
4oz mushrooms sliced. Fry a bit and add
large tin of chopped tomatoes (450g?)
1 tablespoon of mixed herbs
Mix well and cook until it is getting thick. Add the rice, mix and stir gently while reheating until piping hot.
Bon appetit

Your recipes sound great but I do not think they would much help pd patients somehow! coconut oil is special because of its special fatty acid composition.
(see research on the internet)

Hi everyone
Sorry if you were expecting recipes that would improve your pd condition. I hope others can do that but I hope that some of mine will be tasty enough for those who have a greatly reduced sense of taste. I often try to put added texture into foods to try to combat this lack of sensitivity to taste.

This is my standby and it was easy to make when I felt rotten at diagnosis.
Heat a little oil in large pan. Throw in roughly chopped onion and two chicken fillets cut in half. Slowly soften in fat adding some water to help soften.

Add as many carrots as you can be bothered to prepare (could use frozen ones to save cutting). Can also add courgettes. When all this is starting to be soft, gradually add more water, some stock powder and tin chopped tomatoes. Can also add potato cut in chunk size pieces to make it a meal in one. Cook slowly with lid or in oven. Very tasty and can be put into plastic containers and frozen for supper anytime. I make it early in the day before I get tired.

Have a good day!
