5 months on and with even higher inflation many can't even afford to cook the potatoes, to begin with, and others could only afford the boiled potatoes, no adding eggs, almonds and lemons and then cooking for an hour.

Everything has become so expensive recently that I was actually so pleased to have found this recipe. Atm, to save a little money I cook a lot of rice with tomatoes and beans recently. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but a little variation surely is nice.

Does anyone else ever think of Mrs. C thinking to herself as she "addresses" us : "They're back again? How often are they going to come and watch me cook? And they never offer to help!"

@GoldCatPrincess

I can answer this. They ate a very healthy diet. In those days, there was usually a big old pot hanging over the fire, filled with chunks of meat, marrow bones, herbs and vegetables, on a slow boil. This was dished out at mealtimes with chunks of fresh baked bread, and was normally followed by lots of fruit, fresh, stewed or baked. In other words, their diet was balanced and healthy. Those they worked for, on the other hand, indulged in a variety of rich foods and drinks and over time, this had the usual detrimental effect. A classic example of this is Henry VIII, half of whose physical ills could have disappeared had he but forsaken the over-rich foods and sweet dishes he was addicted to, and eaten the same simple food his servants did.
