My next worst job in the kitchen is peeling sprouts :eek:

I have not cooked a meal since the mid / late seventies. I am committed to cooking a Valencian paella due to a drunken comment. Have bought the pan, just not quite sure what to put in it yet. I have the equipment , just not sure how to use it.

Hey Pam, I think I have said on another thread that peeling prawns was the worst job for me,:mad: it's not so much the peeling it is taking the poo lounge out:ohmy: that is the time consuming bit. I have to de poo them as there is nothing worse than just going to pop the prawn in the hole in the face and being meet with that disgusting black mess. Some of the large prawns have massive poo lounges.:eek:
