Agriculture Question.

It might be possible that your book does not include Dulwich.

An answer.

One of the last was:

BELAIR

The house was built in 1785 for John Willes, a cornfactor of Whitechapel and was known as College Place. It was renamed Belair by a later resident Charles Ranken, a solicitor. It was enlarged to provide 47 rooms when Charles Hutton, a wool merchant and sheriff lived there with his wife, 11 children and ten servants. It remained a private house until 1938 when it was owned by Sir Evan Spicer, a paper merchant. At this time it still had a farm with animals and hayfields, orchards and kitchen gardens. Southwark leased Belair in 1946 for recreation purposes but the house was in a poor state after the war and had to be largely rebuilt. The Victorian extensions were removed at this time. The buildings were deteriorating again in the council's ownership but have now been made into an elegant restaurant with function rooms. The former coachhouse by Gallery Road has also been renovated. The grounds remain a public park.

Buffeting - an exercise in wishful thinking.

[katie1997]

Buttered buckling. I just want some basic information about it. Anything you know just off the top of your head will do.

Thanks.

Boobs. Real or fake-tastic?

Katie, i'm sure you'll put your own twist on these but here's the basic recipe.

( as requested )

Nette:-S

Ps. It's a brilliant book, there's even a recipe for 'Hot Bacon Sandwich' which if I wasn't on the gluten free tip, i'd be keen on trying.

[katie1997]

Nette,

Dear Benny (Mr)

I must correct you on one point, the fabric which you describe is in fact a classical print in the 'Chinoiserie' style.

The term Vintage has been misused on this occasion, it's better employed to describe old toot often found on the market stalls in East Dulwich, aimlessly browsed by salmon corded mandies. Though you might be more familiar with the term 'bric-a-brac' or if you're a bit of a ponce 'brocantes'

Otherwise I suggest looking at the Colefax & Fowler back catalogue or heaven forbid Osbourne & Little, though the idea of putting a penny more into that w@nker Gidion's pocket chills me to the corset.

Lastly, it is ( how shall I put this ) a bit of a 'Margaret' look, don't you think.

Best confined to the fetid corners of you dirty-dorset mind.

Oh, are we back to 'A'?

In that case Nette do you have the original recipe for Cheese Aigrettes as given by Mrs Glasse in 1747 (possibly as 'water fritters') and should they really be served with sugar and orange water?

In the interests of conformity I offer this for B...

Berkshire Jugged Steak.

Take a 2lb rump steak cut into cubes, put into earthenware jar with one onion studded with cloves, some diced carrot and celery, a teaspoon of mushroom ketchup and s&p. Do NOT add water or fat, put sealed jar in boiling water and simmer for 2 hours.

The word arse in English derives from the Germanic root *arsaz, which originated from the Proto-Indo-European root *ors ? meaning buttocks or backside
