Everyone is talking about slightly odd or rotten foods. But are there any off habits, possibly left over from childhood? Mine is the mashing casseroles up with mash potato. See also Cottage / Shepherds pies.


Although I did watch in horror recently as my 5 year old stirred ice cream up in to a liquid mess. Yet my sister and I used to do exactly that with that 3 flavor ice cream you used to get.

My mum used to take me for a haircut at about aged 5, then the cafe afterwards. I'd get a coca-cola and add a whole lot of sugar to it, and watch it fizz. I'd also eat the sugar from the bowl, which was hid in the grill section of the oven. Oh how I loved that blue glass and silverware bowl


But I do neither of these things now, my teeth ache at the thought. That said, I still have vinegar on my cabbage if it's with Liver & Bacon, and brown sauce can feature. But I also do those beyond the confines of my front door.

The brown sauce thing has just reminded me of one.


I always have HP sauce with Fish Pie. In fact, most white fish with a white (ish) sauce.


It goes remarkably well.


Also, always have mint sauce with Shepherd's Pie (but I rarely use real shepherd's these days), but I guess that's less controversial/disgusting as Lamb is involved.

I'll have a good few spoons of practically anything straight out of the tin before warming it- beans, soup, spaghetti (all Heinz), tinned fish........oh and marrowfat peas, mmmmm!!


This goes on while waiting for toast. And I really can't think of anything that doesn't go with toast.

I've just answered my own question. It's the ketchup innit :))

That trumps everything. Good call.

I'm a bit dubious about 'lightly heated' RD. Sounds like a hell of a lot of effort to me :))


Key question is which flavour MM?

This reminds me of a food festival stall at Burghley House in Lincs, a local butcher specialised in black pudding & strawberry jam sausages which apparently won a great taste award!

Exactly, though you can also lay the hoops flat side down as that ups the crunch factor to an almost masochistic level.

Was that at the horse trials? I go most years and spend more time in the food village than watching the horses go round, I'm slightly ashamed to say.


Apparently some people eat suasages with marmalade. Never tried it but sounds viable.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
