 I agree with some parts but not all of your post. I don't have the time nor the inclination to go ito it fully, especially since I'm lying in bed and using the iPhone.
I cook. I can make many dishes - enough that I can rotate on a two-week timetable. Having said that, I don't always cook and there are times I don't have the inclination or the free time to cook. I don't consider ice-cream something essential that I must handmake. I see it as something of a treat and hence prefer the convenience of buying it rather than making it.
Certain foods I can make. Others I can't. Some that I choose not to. Where do you draw the line? Do we go back to growing our own wheat and corn? Start rearing chickens? Are baked beans out of a tin considered luxury? Shall I start with a rock and some wood and create my own house from there?
An extreme extrapolation of your point. I agree a balance must be made between 'convenience' and 'home prepped meals' but everyone's point lies at a different place along with balance.
For me, it is enough that I buy my groceries from the store, prep my own meals when possible and buy ready-made items for when it's not.

It's curious that cooking is one of the most popular subjects on TV. I wonder how many people actually baked a meatloaf after watching Nigela on TV yesterday? I actually just had an £1.30 Tesco frozen pizza.   _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

What happened here then? All that over ice-cream. Wowzers.
For the record my choice to buy a tub of ice-cream (about twice a year for what it's worth) and not make it is by no means an indicator of my wealth, social standing, lazyness or availability of free time. I just happen to like what Ben, Jerry and Mr Dazs make.

I'd like to make ice cream, but I'm afraid it'll go wrong. I'm also afraid that if I can make good ice cream for very little price, I won't be able to stop myself eating it...I have very little will power when it comes to sweet things...
