Any curd is a good curd In other cooking related news...We all like a good feed and some of the best meals are high in fat. The lad was getting butt hurt the other night about me stopping him eating all of the cheese smashed potatoes, so last night the family sat down with the scales and various foods to teach the kids about calories etc. The kids were blown away that approx an 8th of a shotglass (10 grams) of cooking oil has the same amount of energy as an apple or 3 carrots. I think now they will understand what I mean when I tell them, they can't just eat whatever they want until they're full. Yeah you can eat some "unhealthy" food every now and then, but as your parent I'm not letting you turn into a giant fat carnt cos you want all the cheese on your dinner and have extra thicc 1000 calorie pb sammiches for morning and afternoon snack. Fortunately I'm fatter than I should be, so I can use myself as an example of what happens when too many calories go in and not enough get used.
