Title: Jam 'n' Meat
Post by: Pastis on September 11, 2007, 03:05:02 PM: Feeling somewhat peckish I sidled into the kitchen looking for a snack. I commend to you...

A slice a Gala pie with a good dollop of Redcurrant jam

There must be a whole host of undiscovered combinations; I thought I might try some cold lamb and apricot jam later ;D

Pork and Apple
Duck and Orange
Turkey/Chicken and Cranberry
Ham and Pineapple
The list is endless. Much stranger to my mind was a guy I used to go sea fishing with. He always took along huge doorsteps of bread, spread with strawberry jam and made into sandwiches with chunks of cheddar cheese.
6 miles off the Needles in an 18 foot boat against an incoming tide one look at him munching these guaranteed several of the party would supply "groundbait"

Yes - it's great fun and they insist on packing you bags for you! Get all your Chinese sauces and stuff here for next to nothing. Also, prawns. Unbelieveable choice of prawns. And pig's uterus (I'm not joking) should you wish.

The prawns are good are they? I do have rather a prawn craving.

They have freezers full of prawns - prbably about 100 different varieties ranging in price from about a tenner for a box (2kgs I think) up to about ?25. And pig's trotters too. And an aquarium with live fish in it - choose the one you want! And all manner of Chinese cooking utensils/bowls etc.

On the way back from Swindon the overhead sign on the M3 advised "50mph. Debris in road". Well, it certainly was debris but not quite what I was expecting...I need a pint or two of Young's...
