I love anchovies, whether on a pizza or just marinated. I found my perfect ones: Tesco Marinated Anchovies with olives and roasted red peppers. As usual, with some products you like, they disappear. I haven't been able to find them in-store or online here in Essex or even in London for a year now. I ended up phoning Tesco Customer Services who confirmed they are still available, so haven't been discontinued, but the agent could only see them in Scotland, where she lives. Really? I'm sure they must be available elsewhere, but possibly no longer in the South East for whatever reason
I don't understand at all how this is in either of the supermarkets' interest

Has anyone tried Gouda cheese? What's it like?
You shouldn't really need online classes, certainly no need to pay for them. Couple of things you need to be a good cook.
Good quality pots/pans/knives/whisk and scales.
Learn the basics but learn them well, learn to grill, fry, bake, stir fry and simmer. Get to know your stove and its little foibles like hot spots in the oven or grill. Once you get these basics mastered all you need is a recipe and maybe a picture of what you want to re-create.
bon appetit

I stand corrected, my humble apologies
But in perspective of a meal, something like some grilled steamed chicken, your 120 cals of dressing and some salad would come in a little over 500 calories so that won't kill you.Indeed LOL
Honestly folks, get those real basics sorted and your confidence will lift and you'll move on from "I'm going to try and make this" to "I am going to make this". I'm lucky I grew up in a 'foodie' household where mom and dad were fantastic cooks and involved me in preparing food from a very young age but they drummed into me how getting the simple stuff right was the key to cooking.
Have fun with cooking, who cares if you mess up a dish first time round, thats no big deal, food is a great way of relaxing and spending time with friends and loved ones.
Tonight is a late dinner and i've got Ox Tail cooking in red wine in the slow cooker for when my lad gets off duty tonight

Anybody good at tracking down clothes? I saw something a presenter was wearing recently. I googled, nothing, tried ASOS, nothing, any ideas?
WOW did I hit a raw nerve
WTF has my grammar got to do with cooking? I'm trying to encourage people to become better than they are and you nit pik...well done you.max, please.
foodie doesn't need quotation marks
thats needs an apostrophe
oxtail is one word, no need for capitalisation either
get those real basics sorted and your confidence will lift and you'll move on from "I'm going to try to mansplain to these people" to "I am going to mansplain to these people"
