This is the initial "is there anything missing, how can I improve it list..."
At the moment it is UK to US, but it will be easy to make the US to UK list once we have things up and running.
I suggest you use the find command Ctrl+F if you are using Internet Explorer...
My plan is to divide this into more manageable lumps, such as pulling all veg together, all meat together, all meal types, all meals, etc. There are obvious things that can be lumped together to break down the list! I will edit this one as we go along. I will also see if I can work on the formatting. It will mean I shall have to learn some html coding I think, but there we go. I will see if I can work on a table of something similar!
