Ingredients for new recipes

No sorry , plain old dried breadcrumbs do not ‘cut the mustard ‘ compared to Panko !!

I'm actually fed up with all the recipes with Panko breadcrumbs. It's a fad - no-one these days would dare to write a recipe using just plain old dried breadcrumbs which, in fact, almost always do the job perfectly well.

I regularly look at recipes and some of the arcane/expensive ingredients and make my own replacements.

Apart from anything else, who wants a kitchen cupboard full of jars of stuff you have used once, in one recipe and then didn't enjoy enough to do again
