I have a friend who suggests that the best sweet snack in the world is a
grilled Hershey bar sandwich.

She takes two pieces of white bread, butters each on one side, breaks up the
chocolate bar and puts it between the slices with the butter on the outside,
then grills it like a grilled cheese sandwich.
I've heard that some people grill PBJ's and Nutella sandwiches.


Cheryl

YUM. We have a lot of PB & honey on toast or toasted english muffins
(crumpets). Nutella - so good. My first encounter - when we were working
in France, and the crew needed to stock our trailer on the site with some
lunch stuff (we took an "American" break, rather than the much longer French
break). So, the quest for Peanut Butter - and for many confused reasons,
ended up with Nutella - as the closest thing - after all - it has the little
hazelnut illustrations on the package. Imagine our surprise - nice fresh
bread - and just spreading it with Nutella - then realizing - CHOCOLATE.
Nutella, and a nice Bordeaux - yummy. Actually, I think we had a lot of
Nutella with Cahors (very, very dark, Romans called it "blood wine) - kind
of on the outskirts of Bordeaux, and the domaine I lived in. FWIW - after
about a month, finally found the French version of PB - I think the first
batch was in a can...but then we found some fine stuff.

Try to stay away from Nutella now - it's addictive.

I love both the cheddar and the marmalade, but I've never thought of them
together. Now all I need to do is pick up a good loaf
of white bread and I'm definitely going to try it.

Use butter, not a "spread". The taste is all wrong! My first thought was
YUCK, but I learned better. I guess the Swedes that stayed in the B&B we
stayed in introduced DH and others to this treat at the breakfast table.
They had moved on, but the sharp cheddar stayed on the table.

Best b'fast EVAH: toasted English muffins (hot and crisp) with a
seriously sharp cheddar (cold) and a thick slice of *fresh* tomato
sprinkled with pepper.....yummmmm....

Sounds like a contender!

Locally we think of them as a house party with music and dancing, usually
accompanied by a bit of elixir! Here is an online definition:

Quoting from a webpage
http://www.strathspey.org/archive/thread?s=29440
==
Ceilidh is a Gaelic word for which there is no single English
equivalent. It originally signified (and still does to Gaelic speakers)
a gathering at which spontaneous singing, verse-recitation, music and
dancing took place. However, the term "ceilidh dancing" nowadays usually
refers to couple dances (generally using "ballroom hold") or what used
to be called "old-time" dances (St. Bernard's Waltz, Gay Gordons, and so
on, but including some "borrowing" from Country Dancing (Strip the
Willow, for example.)
==
Here on Stronsay a ceilidh usually celebrates a significant event such
as a wedding or a birthday and often involves everyone on the island,
young and old. Nobody is a "wallflower" and teenagers happily dance
with pensioners and young children.

We love those huge tomatoes sliced, sprinkled with a smidgeon of virgin
olive oil, crushed garlic and coarse black pepper - eaten with brown bread
and butter.

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?
Cheryl

The IIHF Worlds in 2008 will be split between Halifax and Quebec city.
Unfortunately both semifinals and gold medal final will be played in the
Quebec city. It's expected that Team Canada will play its preliminary
and
qualifying round games in Halifax. So that should be exciting hockey!
Sorry we don't have any LNS.

And a wee dram lol
The second best part!
