Just read a news item about food price rises and how people are coping. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn5kvv9n10go
Research has shown that people are making simpler meals in order to reduce cost.
"Almost 7 in 10 Dinner plates include fewer that six components" said the researchers.
Seems I've been cutting back for years as I'd be hard pressed to think of many meals I've made eaten with more than six components - assuming that means something like meat and five vegetables?
Not sure that I really understand what they're trying say here. Thought a standard meal was something like fish chips & peas, or meat and two veg with maybe a Yorkshire pud and gravy. Maybe a stirfry, a curry or casserole would have more than six ingredients - but, is an ingredient a "component"?
How many "components" do you put on your dinner plate?

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
