Celeriac. Had it in a gratin, gorgeous. Gonna mash some tonight. Slight nutty flavour, buttery almost.

Very underrated vegetable

Tunnocks Caramel wafers, Tunnocks Teacakes, Tunnocks Snowballs.

Can't stop eating them when we get them in.

Dark chocolate caramel wafers?

I had a honey pomelo. The one I had was like a giant, drier, less bitter version of a grapefruit. I rate it 5. Would eat again. The other half is in the fridge.

Chugging this in bed, neat from the bottle

That’s the correct way, ja?

I’d probably dilute it in a little vodka.

Didn’t you have a tuck shop at school?

Thai/Holly Basil. I've been cooking a flavourful pork mice for years as a quick week night meal, inspired by Kra Pow but never actually got my hands on the correct herb. Found some in Win Yip at the weekend. It was really nice, toned down my other flavours a bit to really let it shine.

I love them. We nicknamed them babies heads because the first ones we had, in Sudan, were as big as a babies head. We didn't know the Sudanese name for them.

I've just reread it, it's pork mice that you use, not dormice.

Used in ayurveda - I think it's supposed to be a cure for everything that buffalo dung, milk and urine won't fix.
I bought some ground a while back - can't remember why - probably to promote dreams / visions ...

I don't know where you're based, but I bought it in the fancy farm shop at Glocester Services.

Cheers - it’s on the way to where I’ll be spending Christmas.

Is it good? I keep thinking I need to try it.

Is it good? I keep thinking I need to try it.

It’s pretty subtle, but then it’s fighting against the taste of the Marmite.
Worth a go, though - was the same price as the regular Marmite where I bought it.

 

[RubyToogood]

Is it good? I keep thinking I need to try it.

Yes. It's pushed the regular jar to the back of the cupboard.

 

[8ball]

Yes. It's pushed the regular jar to the back of the cupboard.

Yeah, I was maybe using too much at first, but in the right quantities it’s really good.

Facebook just offered me these - if I ever found myself in Vannes...

( working shifts, it can be a challenge to get quick hot food to go ). I've recently tried M&S sausage and bean pasties and quite enjoyed it. Hot, nutritious and filling.
