My post wasn't about my cooking but was about basic cooking generally to eat and survive and about the lack of the most basic skills across society.

It wasn't just about recreational cooking for enjoyment at an advanced level. It touches on obesity and the breakdown of familes and the lack of affordability for basic eating. I'm suprised to think that some feel it healthy that we have new generations that are almost unable to make tea or boil an egg or make toast ... or even how to open a tin of baked beans to put on it. I am talking about where they cannot eat healthily because they have not been forced to learn the most basic of food preperation either at school or by their parents who couldn't teach them because they couldn't do the basics either. To me this is more than liefestyle choices as you suggest. It is about the basics of life. For hundreds of thousands of years all could cook. Every adult passed these skills on to their children. To learn to hunt, harvest and cook. If they did not learn all three of those skills they would die. We have in less than a hundred years or so lost two out of the three. I think the last one is therefore a very important one.

I'm sorry - you are completely right ..... I should have expressed it clearer.
