Hi,

The baked brie sounds nice and I think I will try it. I am not normally a hard cheese lover. Followed by the pork medallions and the custard slice.
A glass of rose will do nicely.

Have you not tried Lea & Perrins on your egg n chips doc? smaller bottle to have to carry around

[eash]

Baked Brie to start, chicken for main and cheesecake for dessert please, thanks!

[merciasounds]

doc, I would gladly cook you egg and chips, but the eggs are fresh, free range, and the chips are handcut from real potatoes that are washed and peeled first - could you handle it? And I've plenty of rum, white, golden and dark, and diet and regular Coke, you wouldn't have to bring your own

[AB Editor]

Baked Brie in a box, with bread sticks for dipping..

Actually, can I just have the three starters and then finish up with the cheese? The mains don't grab me this morning and I think I've had too much sugar in my life recently.

All the best

Spare Ed

[Bbbananas]

Ah Mercia - didn't exactly say I didn't like them - I just asked you yesterday if there was a particular point or motive behind them - and once you answered, then I understood.....


Potted shrimps, pork and cheesecake please. And cheese. And copious amounts of rose. Cheers !

Are the flaky pastry custard slice from Greggs cos their;s are ok, most others use the wrong filling and it;s not vanilla enough.

[merciasounds]

No Dot, everything is made from scratch, by me, i use vanilla pods in my sugar and a drop of extract (not essence) while making the custard
