Sounds like the recipe for pike (ferocious fish found in UK lakes).
Take the pike, slit it down the middle and pin it to a wooden breadboard.
Sprinkle with cayenne pepper.
Douse with balsamic vinegar.
Add a little English mustard.
Throw away the pike and eat the breadboard - it's much tastier and
easier to chew...

A lovely Northern England combo which you should try is slipping a
slice of cheddar (or American tasty at a push ) under the crust of an
apple pie or grating some cheese into the pie crust mix before baking

What on earth posessed you to try THAT combination, Bruce? I AM asking? I
like both - but not together!

When in the RAF and on exercise with the army in Northern Europe the
vagaries of the rationing system often produced shortages and surpluses
that gave rise to strange combinations of food. Some were better than
others!
One popular technique was to open all the tins regardless of the
contents, empty them into a pot and heat it thus producing an amazing
variety of nutritious (but not necessarily tasty) stews.
Shudder!

Though, in Cambridgeshire, I was introduced to buttered white toast with
sharp cheddar and orange marmalade. It is good!

I've heard that some people grill PBJ's and Nutella sandwiches.

No - New England style, warm apple pie, cold cheese on the side

This must be like the Marmite thing - love it or hate it!

What kind of cereal are you thinking of, Bruce? We're talking dry
cereal, like cornflakes, rice crispies, chex, etc.

Okay , with you on odd combinations - when overly hungry ( hesitate to

an NCO medic and can skin rabbits and bivvy and get water in desert
conditions with the best of them !!!! (Also did full firearms drill not

Nice to hear from a member of the real RAF. I hate all these RAF types
who wax lyrical about those smelly, noisy flying thingies that disturb
the peace of a nice quiet aerodrome.
I never had the pleasure of being nursed by the RAF but when attached to
the army (24 Bde) I was admitted to HMS Drake with acute bronchospasm.
At this time (1969) inter-service co-operation in medical matters was
not very good. After 4 weeks in HMS Drake I received an letter from RAF
Tangmere (my "official" unit) containing my dental records and an
appointment with an RAF chest specialist at RAF Wroughton; the Navy
were, understandably, incensed at this intrusion on "their" territory.
The rest is a very long and, to me, highly amusing story which I shall
refrain from inflicting upon the current audience.

I have favorite snack, a few almonds, some really good sharp cheese and a

dried sour cherries. All told, maybe a little more than a 1/3 cup in

but so good. The mix of flavors and textures really makes it seem like I
have more than I do.

Really good, sharp cheese is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Most cheese seems to be of the "processed" variety which looks like and
often tastes like putty. Fortunately there is a good deli in Kirkwall
that has a good selection of "real cheese".


There are lots of cheddars here that are quite sharp if that is your taste.
Some quite wimpy ones too.

Another cheese I like is an aged or farmers Gouda. A nice bite and creamy
texture.

I really love "blue" cheeses, but nothing compares to the blue Stilton's I
had in England. They just don't travel well.

Cheryl


We get great Stilton here. Pricey, but great.
Another reason to come visit! any hockey tournaments up there?

Oh, I remember my son Richard telling me of some of those awful combinations
when on exercise in Norway (Royal Marines) - I must ask him if he`s tried
that particular horror!

As for the mineral water in your signature - I suppose it was absolutely
fine underground - but once man interferes with it - who knows?
