Raffle Prize

[Barmaid]

Mr BM has asked if I can come up with a raffle prize of a hamper of home produce. (Mr BM has volunteered this - *bangs head on wall*).

I was thinking

beetroot chutney
spiced apricot chutney
Victoria sponge
lemon curd
1/2 doz fresh eggs

Can anyone think of anything else?

[society]

Crackers
Cheese

[Mamyalynne]

Flapjacks.

[Barmaid]

lol, that's a point Society, I could just buy the stuff!!!

(Mr BM clearly thinks I have too much time on my hands).

[boxtops]

Home made, society (unless BM's got a goat I don't know about...)

[ubasses]

jam or/and marmalade

[shoota]

Pickled (sliced) onions
Toffee
Biscuits
brownies
Pate

[boxtops]

If you were buying BM, I'd recommend the Bay Tree Beetroot and Horseradish Relish, and Somerset Ale Chutney - you can get them in Waitrose, they are both delish.

[Barmaid]

Flapjacks are easy! Excellent idea.

Actually, instead of a Victoria sponge, I might go for a fruit cake - it will keep longer.

[Barmaid]

Jam or marmalade sounds nice (I fancy having a go at making marmalade). Toffee, biscuits and brownies are all easy.

Pate is easy, but I'm a bit concerned about refrigeration and use by times with that.

I might end up having to buy Boxy - this is for Saturday and I've got a full diary.

[boxtops]

Saturday!! I hoep you poked Mr BM with a sharp stick! Is he weaving the hamper, LOL?!

[society]

Sorry, I forgot it was home produced part. Looks like I banged my head. lol

Do you sew? A pair of pot holder maybe.
They are quick and easy to make.

[Psybbo]

A chicken?

[tonyav]

I'll buy a ticket Bm.

[Barmaid]

No, any weaving he will be doing will be his own coffin.

(as he left to go out tonight he said "any chance you can have a look at that lease and sort out that exclusivity agreement". Yes love, whilst you're out getting pissed I'll stay at home WORKING. No chance).

[shoota]

Leek and potato soup

[sunny-dave]

Psbbbo!!! That would be like giving a member of the family away ...

[Barmaid]

Now that's a good idea for the next one he has put me down for, Society.

A chicken psybbo - lolololololol.

[Barmaid]

Shoota, that's a good idea. I could knock that up quite quickly. Got stacks of leeks and spuds.

[Iluvspikey]

Forgive me for saying this, but, your list seems to be a bit....higgledy-piggledy - either go with all condiments, or all fresh produce - discount the eggs for a start, they might not get to the recipient in time.

How about a nice mug, a selection of teabags ((such as Earl Grey, Lapsang - and/or herbal teas, good quality coffee and drinking chocolate and some expensive biscuits

Or like you say, pickles, chutney and relishes - look for makes like Trenchermans - found in most big supermarkets

or again a nice mug or cup and saucer, some Twining Afternoon tea bags a victoria sponge, a dundee cake, some scones and a pot of jam
Or

[shoota]

Chill it and call it vichysoisse......
