4 Answers
went out to a pub last night and had a lovely sweet and sour dish.
I know how to make sweet and sour sauce but its never as nice as the one's at the pub. They deffinatly make it themselves because you can see inside the kitchen and i saw them making it from scratch.
so does anyone know a realy nice recipe?
