Now having tasted pizza in Venice I've become a pizza snob and I've been on a rather glutinous quest to find something akin to the real deal in England. Forget your crudely named kebab houses like "the Nile" on your high St or your Chicago style cardboard from the supermarket, here is your top 5. 5) Dr oetker(German I know) 4)Carlos stone baked pepperoni thin based pizza 3)mama cozzis stone baked pizza 4)iceland hand pulled special range 5)aldis £3.09 hand stretched sourdough pizza range. This takes the crown and I hope you lot are happy with the exta weight I've put on in order to compile this list for you.

Bleep1673 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I was in my local shop this morning, and I noticed a bottle of Vimto on the shelf, but the label didn't look right, so I picked it up for a closer look. The bottle was glass. I turned the bottle round, and the back had ARABIC writing on it. I was in a rush, so I didn't ask, but I will be passing later.

To me it seems like something from the Seventies, like Wincarnis or Sanatogen. Let me never fall into the vulgar mistake of dreaming that I am persecuted whenever I am contradicted.

MattSantos Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 I heart Vimto. Off the plane into Manchester for a wedding - needed some stuff. Went to Selfridges in the Trafford Centre and saw a Vimto stall. I spent around 40 GBP with a view to taking it home... it didnt last long On another note, its Chinese New Year so everyone is buying each other food - my boss just brought some pasties in that were absolutely sensational. I've had 4. Absolutely sensational.

Bleep1673 Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 I was talking to a southerner the other day, and she suggested that Black Pudding was a Sussex/Kentish pudding, I tried to correct her, but she pointed me to the local library where they had 'Blood Pudding' on a menu in 1785 at a Lords mansion. Is there anything you wouldn't eat or drink? I hate Cucumber, and that's it. I eat everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Evans Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Pheasant and pork. Probably best I've done. I used refined Italian lard in the pastry.... it makes it very crispy and holds its crispness very well. Pleased. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrumonside ref Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I’m attempting a very simple duck montmorency today. I’m using duck breast roasted with apricot and stuffing served with a morello cherry and kirsch sauce that will be gently heated. Any tips?
