After several costly attempts at trying to keep pot-grown Christmas trees alive until the next year, I'm so pleased that my local farm is renting them out! You can even have the same one back the next year and watch it grow

Is this actually meat, rather than a fungus type thing? I know they can make ears, etc separate from anything living now so I imagine that this is actual meat. Does anyone have an article link? I'd love to know a bit more before I give my opinion

Thanks everyone, I think I'll try it without the milk and butter, then add that later. I asked because I'm doing a big batch and didn't want to waste it. I'm sure it's probably fine, I bet there's not much in the taste. I hope...

I don't think I've ever frozen mashed potato before, apart from as part of a pie. There seems to be a debate on the web about whether it's any good. Does it freeze ok?
