nothing repeats on you like Brussels Sprouts
I believe that Mentos washed down with Coca-Cola is the choice of the professionals. With Jerusalem artichokes a very close second place. |

If you were ever to have Jerusalem artichokes in the company of a partner it is advisable for one to go into the front garden and the other into the back garden. |

Jerusalem Artichokes are pretty deadly aren't they?
That sprout and marmalade recipe might be useful to use up the half jar of marmalade I've got left over since I've stopped having toast for breakfast each day. I was looking at it today to see if it was getting furry yet and wondering what to do with it.

You overlook the potential for a rather diverting competition. Many is the happy hour I have spent on the verge of passing out either through excessive laughter or noxious overdose in such circumstances. |

I wandered into a very fine Welsh butchers this morning. Found the mince I wanted. Bought some very good-looking thick-sliced bacon with the rind cured in treacle  . And, er, I saw a big slab of brawn. And bought some. And had a bit for lunch.  |

Whatever you do, don't lose the will to eat tonight Ants. Not after all your hard work with the fan-tail swede. I hate it when a conversation with someone completely removes your appetite.  |

Ah. That light stinging in my eyes heralds the preparation in the next room of a lovely green chicken curry. (Not by me, I hasten to add.) Just the right antidote to the UTTER CRÊPE MUSIC I've wasted the day up till now rehearsing.  |

Oven roast fillet of cod, reheated fruity lentils and some steamed pak choi.
Really fast to knock together but absolutely delicious.

UTTER CRÊPE MUSIC I've wasted the day up till now rehearsing. Not the repertoire for your November 6th concert in London, surely, Ollie! Brawn at lunchtime. Known as head cheese. And, although it isn't cheese by any standard definition of the word, it certainly tastes cheesy. Sausage/pate made from the fleshy scrapings of boiled pig's or calf's head (brains removed). I don't see why this shouldn't be delicious in principle; it's just that this particular one was rank. Apologies to the veggies among you. Some kind of curry/dahl with prime mince and lentils is about to eradicate the taste for ever, I hope... |

I've never had brawn. It's on my List.
As I understand it, it's supposed to be the texture that is cheesy, not the taste.
Sounds like your luck ran out with that particular purchase, though I'm ready to be corrected by someone who's actually eaten it!

Hope you haven't gone green after that, martle. I had to cook brains for my young charge when I was a nanny in Sicily. Yuk! I wasn't veggie then but nothing would have got me to eat that soft blobby white stuff. |

 and  it's all too much for me I cooked a delicious red lentil and spinach curry for tea, got to be one of my favourites - with hot lime pickle and a Yeo Valley fat-free yoghurt/cucumber mix. |
