You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

Supermarket options in North America tend to be rather different to those we have here in Europe as I recall...

Most of the retail is dedicated to McD's Wendies & KFC I believe.

ALthough Durgan is in Canada, which is mainly small towns with Mounted Police and Elks wondering aimlessly around.

No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

Ah but, if you didn't chew it first Boboff, you could endlessly recycle it and only need one crop of corn ever.
Perpetual motions ?

Also there is a lot of fresh juices avalible which arn't poisonous. Like 'Innocent' smoothies and juices, look here:
http://www.innocentdrinks.co.uk/things-we-make
But of course i understand the desire to make things yourself instead of having to buy them. But as far as vegatables go, i think eating a nice big mixed salad with whole ingridients is better than juicing it and throwing half of it away.

Just to give an example, I'v got a carton of orange juice in my fridge. The ingridients read: 100% Pressed Orange Juice. No sugar added. Pasturized. No preservitives.

Whats wrong with that? Its convienent for me because i dont have orange trees to make my own , which is why i buy it. However I do make my smoothies from the fruit from our orchard, mixed with this orange juice or another fruit juice like it to make it more drinkable.

Anyway, my point is there are lots of healthy options in the supermarket, if you wanted to buy from there, not all juice is full of additives and sugar. Theres also lots of options for whole grain foods too, brown rice and pasta ect. I can even find these things in the local supermarket here, where options and variety is very much limited.
This is Orange Juice.

But thats practically the same as the stuff iv got in the fridge. Squeezed oranges which is then pressure caned to preserve it. There is nothing in there but oranges. Same as yours. Although i think your method wastes more. After they squeeze the oranges for the juice they then make marmalade from the left over skins.

Few people know with what chemicals the skins have been sprayed!

The only way to be sure what they've been sprayed with is to grow them yourself. But how do you get your oranges to ripen with your famously short growing season?

No citrus fruit in Canada. All our oranges come from Florida, California or parts of S.A.

Absolutely no pulp in your squeezed orange juice. Thirty five percent of the nutrients are contained in the pulp or fibre whatever one wants to call it.

My orange juice is full for pulpy bits! You can buy it either smooth or with bits in. I like the one with bits in best :)

You won't have seen the Aldi advert then Demi?

My point exactly.. you can't query someone elses choice of fruit juice over matters you don't control in your own juice!
