I have no interest in British politics, but I did find the earlier conversations about cooking, ready made meals very interesting. I think it’s a shame that all primary school kids are not taught the basics of cooking in school. When I was in primary school mid to late 60’s and early 70’s. I went to a Boys school and the girls went to a girls school run by nuns who actually taught the girls the basics in cooking, my wife was missing those days. Later when we moved to secondary school the girls did Domestic Science which included cooking and they learned how to make soda bread, scones, buns, casseroles etc. All that is gone now and that why you have people who can’t peel a potato and don’t even know you can cook it with the skin still on. It’s like kids don’t know where fruit and veg come from they think it’s the supermarket not the farm , milk comes from a carton they never seen a cow milked by hand or tasted unpasteurised unhomogenised milk, I say the entire education system in this country and in the UK needs to be changed to teach kids about cooking food from an early age and this gets them eating fruit and veg from an early age. Enough ranting
