The culinary talents on show here are worthy of a GW» (Great Western - used as an abbreviation for the area / lines under the Great Western franchise, as opposed to FGW which includes "First", the company operating them too. For tickets - about) Coffee Shop recipe book.....the ideal Christmas gift!

Agree with you, here's another entry from me ;-

No traditional Roast Beef and YORKshire Pudding is complete without the YORKshire Pudding being sprinkled with raspberry vinegar. A national supermarket chain which begins with W goes even further and retails an even better raspberry pulp vinegar (bar code 3 330147 100662) which I use instead of the raw vinegar offering.

Standing on my feet.  Very hard to stand on your head, let alone stand on your head and eat at the same time.

All good, but I think it needs finishing off with a bit of quality piccalilli, or a tart chutney/pickle.

Too much information, grahame Grin If you get his name wrong he sends you a packet (tin?) of anchovies in retaliation. Sprinkled with a little something he found at Zizzi in Salisbury 10 days  or so ago. Now you know why its called the Trans WILTS line.....or is it the Trains Wilt line ?
