Thanks, but...not really. For example:
Barbecued lamb, salsa verde, tomato salad, toasted couscous and fromage blanc
Sounds nice (though i draw the line at eating baby animals, that's not necessary).
But coimpletely impractical cost wise.

Practise what you preach here. You're misrepresenting what he said by adding that 'must'.

I know what limes are, just never seen them in the supermarket or convenience store.Do you live in a cave somewhere?
I tend to buy what's cheap: if apples are on sale then great otherwise they are ridiculously overpriced. Or it's a bag of bananas (cheaper than apples despite travelling halfway around the world), or a bag of satsumas or something. Usually around the £1 mark.
But those recipes are too expensive and too reliant on specialty ingredients. I was really trying to find something more practical for people on low budgets.

Not all of it obviously (that one isn't even veggie
), but I found stuff like a butternut squash soup recipe that I still do from time to time. Mix it up with a few carrots and it's really cheap to do, but cheap in any case for the amount of soup you get.A lot of the stuff like herbs will be common to many recipes so you only need to buy them once in a blue moon.

Is it fuck. It's simple cooking that you ought to have learnt by now if you're interested in saving money and not living on ready meals and take outs

Yes, it was slightly inaccurate, i've edited now. Not a patch on andysays's hilarious caricature of me though.
im not talking about the actual cooking per se, and in any case where does one learn cooking? School? Not in my case. 'Home economics' was a joke.
Not that i think kids shouldn't learn these things in school.

Now you're just taking the piss. Veggie meals are almost always cheaper than meat based ones.
Would this be too tough for you:
Read and learn:
http://studentrecipes.com/recipes/vegetarian/
http://webecoist.momtastic.com/2008/10/28/14-quick-vegetarian-recipes-for-the-hopeless-cook/
Or just go in any supermarket and look under veggie meals.
yeah but isn't there a site or something that has simpler but still cost effective and tasty recipes?Not all of it obviously (that one isn't even veggie

That might be a bit unfair: it sounds as though zxspectrum might live in a place where the best you can hope for from the local shop is overpriced potato, carrots going bad, and perhaps cabbage or onion. Or a wilted bit of lettuce.

I learnt by doing it. It's as easy as following a recipe.

Yes, her recipes are great, delicious, healthy, cheap, easy-to-find ingredients.
Does it? OK, then, I really don't know the situaton. But I have certainly met situations where the single (or few) shops are extremely limited in selection and horribly overpriced, and anything better involves travel costs.
why is that oh so convenient?

tbh a lot of places with a "village shop" are pretty much as Celyn said. a small variety of lackluster fruit and veg, prepacaked meat, freybentos pies and as many pot noodles you can ever want. and it all costing twice what it is in a supermarket
but enough of that i have just discovered that dangermouse is on netflix so thats me sorted for the next few hours

Dunno man, it kinda sounds like you're just making shit up to rationalise meat consumption: 'humane meat', 'i can't eat fruit', 'there are no vegetables on sale in my area', 'i'm a fusy eater', 'it's too expensive'... make your bloody mind up!
I rationalise meat consumption quite simply; I like it. As I said, I don't have a problem with it.Dunno man, it kinda sounds like you're just making shit up to rationalise meat consumption: 'humane meat', 'i can't eat fruit', 'there are no vegetables on sale in my area', 'i'm a fusy eater', 'it's too expensive'... make your bloody mind up!
You sound paranoid when you misrepresent what i say. I never said I can't eat fruit. I never said there are no vegetables on sale either. when you do that, you take the piss a bit and so we'll leave it there.

Bingo!
Yes! Village, and in many inner city areas too. And lacklustre is a very polite way of describing some of the grotty fruit and veg to be found.

Get carrots and onions - chop up, drizzle in a bit of olive oil, sprinkle on two of these four (smoked paprika, cumin seeds, chilli powder, garlic grain pepper) then chuck them in a properly hot oven for 10-15 mins.
Cheaper than chips and lovely and better for you - 5 flavour options here too.
You can roast broccoli in a similar manner too but that's slightly more expensive.

I have my quota of the above with my evening meal: 1 carrot and a couple of spears of Broccoli a day, along with MEAT! and some spinach and a chopped mushroom, plus some rice/noodles. I'd rather not eat rice noodles because on top of that i also eat too much bread.

much that is acceptable to you you mean
or sugar coated or full of caveats or walking on eggshells?
i know my posting style is abrasive but i do have a view, it's been done 100's of times here and this is off topic, another thread ruined by people with fingers in their ears shouting lalalalalala

You just jeer at people and criticise other people for doing so. It's not going to win anyone over or make them think. Jeff's posts make me think more as he actually has many valid points to make that he takes time to convey.

yes i've agreed my posting style is abrasive teach
your posting style leaves a lot to be desired sometimes too
I wish I was as rational and informed as Jeff and could argue calmly but that ain't me.
Also not trying to or my responsibility to win you or anyone over
can't you see the slight arrogance in your and others posts shutting down the opposing viewpoint?
