Those Limey Brits

Here is the situation.
You have met someone. You are really keen on them and would like very much to impress. It's your plan to show them you are a virtual dynamo and quite comfortable in the kitchen. Only one problem. You aren't. In fact tha last time you were in the kitchen it was to retrieve the film from your refrigerator. You lack all the basics like pots and pans, and you have never bought something in bulk. What do you do?
Fake it...

LONDON (Reuters) - Almost a third of young Britons have passed off a ready-made meal as their own creation in order to impress someone, according to a survey by the Department of Health.
Women were the worst offenders, with 40 percent saying they had claimed food bought in a shop as their own, compared to 22 percent of men.
And seven percent of the 1,000 16-24-year-olds questioned said they regularly claimed credit for food they had bought.
The research, conducted as part of the department's 5 A DAY campaign to encourage people to eat more fruit and vegetables, also found that one in 10 had never cooked a proper meal for themselves because they "don't know how."
It also discovered that women were more impressed by a man's cooking ability than whether they owned a flashy car.
