Blimey, wish I'd got to read all the posts. Sounds like our 1950's housewife had her claws out again.
Ummmm, I've not had a vesta for about 15 years, and wan't tempted too much when I saw them in shop last week. Just a bit of nostalgia for our utterly skint days before I knew how to do real food.
Loooby, don't know if I could handle the responsibility of doing my classy menu daily.
Would I have to pretend that I'd made the Primula cheese spread from scratch and shout at anybody that suggested putting a dash of Worcester sauce in the Vesta? : )
