Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

ahem! ..... why are you guys not putting this food/recipe related stuff on my NEW COOK thread?

Yes it is - historically you could have stewed eels with the sauce or jellied eels.

On edit - one of my son-in-laws eats it with gravy - I have pointed out that this makes him a philistine - but to no avail!!!

The shop was all white tiled skinny. What does that liquer taste like ? It did feel strange walking round Romford, almost like you was abroad.

On now, but nearly over http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qhd0r

DC - nearly all of the one's that I knew were white tiled with marble tables and wooden bench seats.

Goddards in Greenwich, is now 'trendy' and has green tiles!

As a boy, I used to frequent Manzes or Arments - both had a few shops mainly in South London - I've no idea how many are left these days.

The liquor doesn't really taste of much - to my mind, its more of a vehicle to aid eating the pie + mash.

Best with chilli vinegar which is on every table.

Nothing like pea like juice then ? Thanks for that skinny.

KFC........ everytime Ive had something from their, bloody awfull.

I hear most of them are franchiase so it might have something to do with that.

Used to be a pie and pea takeway in Bradford, people from all over Yorkshire and North used to go. Small cafe aswel. Always packed. Lovely meal.

Now a kebab shop.

Ohhh those were the days.

"DC - nearly all of the one's that I knew were white tiled with marble tables and wooden bench seats."

Gosh I Love your sense of humour - shame we live hundreds of miles away.

Q Why do Findus Lasagne ready meals make you fat?

A Because they are full of Shergar!

OK won't change the day job.

Tesco has confirmed that horsemeat has been detected in its Everyday Value Spaghetti Bolognese, which was taken off shelves last week.

connected but different .... i was in waitrose and purely out of idle curiosity, i lookd at the creme fraiche ..... surely just cream + some acidity to create ..... hahaha! .....

the natural french one was effectively just that

waitrose (essential line) - pasteurised milk, pasteurised cream, pectin, stabiliser, emulsifier and a couple of e numbers for good measure .... no bullshit!
