Eccles cakes anyone ?

[jenny1840]

I think its great that the half a conservative MP in the area, Toby Ecclesburger now has one ear trumpet in parping distance from the corridors of power. So this year at the Dulwich fair we will mostly be seeing a renaissance of plaid, jam tasting little britain stylee and a very special live televised celebrity politician make over, with special guest John Major who with the help of genius speech writer Gok Wan will turn John from cricket green and warm beer conservative into acoustic strumming , folk twirling , VW toureg driving ECO warrior , ban the bomb ( some time down the line, well off the table completely really) all singing all dancing Liberal !

I like Chorley cakes (with a bit of butter on)

[Townleygreen]

Sorry, Jenny, I just don't understand your post. Could you clarify, or am I just thick?

I would place cakes 1 Eccles, 2 Welsh 3 Chorley

Yellow is better. You can find it in the dark.

[woofmarkthedog]

No...

Without a doubt....

"Bara Brith" that delicious mottled Welsh cake is best

Pepernoten* anyone?

http://suikerwijzer.nl/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/pepernoten1-300x288.jpg

*Note round plate

Recept voor Pepernoten - Ingredienten

125 gram bloem

125 gram zelfrijzend bakmeel

80 gram bruine basterdsuiker

2 eetlepels water

1 mespuntje zout

1 eierdooier

1 theelepel speculaaskruiden

1/2 theelepel kaneel

1 mespuntje gemalen anijszaad

Bereiding

Kneed alle ingredi?nten door elkaar tot een soepele bal deeg. Laat deze bal 1 uur op een koele plaats rusten, bijvoorbeeld in de koelkast. Smeer de bakplaat in met boter. Draai van de helft van je bol deeg allemaal kleine balletjes, ter grootte van een knikker. Leg de kleine balletjes op gelijke afstand op de bakplaat. Je kunt van de helft van de bol ongeveer 1 bakplaat vol pepernoten maken.

Druk elk balletje een beetje plat met je duim. Bak de pepernoten gaar en goudbruin en laat ze daarna afkoelen. Je kunt onder het bakken alvast de volgende portie maken. Bak de pepernoten ongeveer twintig minuten met een temperatuur van 160 Graden. Plaats de pepernoten in het midden van de oven

Does this make more sense? (tu)

[Townleygreen]

W**f, you are right - Bara Brith is just lovely. I made some myself a year or two ago, having enjoyed them over many years on visits to the Principality.

A cup of tea is the correct accompaniment.

[ruffers]

Lekker.

Edited for nice not leaky.

It was going fine,until I got to the bit where you bake, y'know ( see below )" THAT BIT "

Isn't that a bit dangerous ?

I mean I'm not Dutch but surely, they have feelings too

Y-es it can be dangerous actually especially if you're trying to be good - its way too tempting if you follow those instructions. I hope this makes sense ;-)

[woofmarkthedog]

Y-es....

I "Have the oven on"

Oh.....

So you're not rich then

I'd recommend buying an AGA , then plonking a microwave on top

( much better IMHO )

W**F

[RosieH]

Oh zounds Woof, you beat me to it.

jenny, just because you're too poor to afford an Aga, don't come on here ranting about spinelessness - try a Rayburn instead.

And if you're all about the deliciousness, they do a frightfully good bone marrow salad at St John

[katie1997]

Oh RosieH - you have reminded me of a blast from the past, my nana had a rayburn (my mums family lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere - I'm sure those cookers would not have featured in countrylife magazine back then).

St. John also do a good risotto milanese made with bone marrow (as it should be).

[jenny1840]

Oh ladies if you are going to try and name drop at least get it right ! Which one and what about the s. It just makes you look sooooo ED. And SALAD , oh please your not in the palmerston dears.

[katie1997]

jenny1840 dear - I haven't set foot in the (Lord) Palmerston since I took my mum and her husband there about 10+ years ago (visiting a friend from ED)

You sound more 'ED' than me TBH, I mean, do "they" 'do' salad in the Palmerston in 2010 then?

*dying to know*

**not really**

S? What S?

And if I'd meant Bread and Wine, I would have said Bread and Wine. If you're going to be a pedant, get your pedantry right.

(subject of which, it's "try to", not "try and...", and don't get me started on your / you're)
