Thread: Savoury rice question

Hi

Please could someone answer a quick question for me on the EE Plan.

I have been cooking my own savoury rice using the following ingredients and was wondering if it would be classed a free ??

Uncle bens Boiled Rice with peppers, onions, sweetcorn, mushrooms and bacon.

I fry it in frylight.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

As long as all the fat was cut off the bacon it should be fine

Thanks so much for the reply. if i used tinned fruit in natural juices would it still be free?

Thanks

Mandie

No tinned fruit is synned, although sometimes you can use it as a HEX. Best to get it in natural juice. Syns vary depending on what fruit it is and whether its in juice or syrup, but eg pineapple is:

Pineapple, canned in juice, 100g 2½
Pineapple, canned in syrup, 100g 3½

Is the Uncles Ben's rice the ready cooked stuff in a pouch? If it is, it has a syn value.

Oh sorry when the OP said "Boiled rice" I thought s/he meant the boil-in-the-bag stuff

Long Grain Rice, Boil in the Bag, 8 pack, dried, 62.5g bag Free


The Express stuff is syns, yeah, sorry.

I wasn't sure Erm, just when she said Uncle Ben's I thought it might be.....

Either way, OP will know now ;-)

Just seen this and made me smile in a "now that's weird!" way!
