    My niblings were convinced that it was cheaper to eat out than to cook. Reason being their kitchen was empty, so every recipe called for something they didn’t have.

      I’ve never known the word nibling before today

      I do get that, it’s usually rife with those ‘meals for under a quid’ etc type recipes and to some extent, programmes

      They always assume everyone has a base level of ingredients

        Nibling is loads easier than saying, “my niece and my nephew who is her husband.” :)

        Spices really kicked their ass. Yes, you need to buy that whole bottle for this one recipe, but you can use it over and over and over again. They didn’t get it.

        Same here, I assumed it was a typo of nibbling but given the context that doesn’t seem right.

      How do people afford takeaways for every meal? That must also be absolutely terrible for your health
