Guest Anne Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Ohhhhh Lordy...I've just seen the top shelf of Beefsteak's fridge and can't believe my eyes. I'll be over on the next plane... I see on the Branston Pickle jar it sez 'small chunk' don't tell me you can get jars of different size chunks now! I can't get Blackcurrant jam either and I used to love it. Blue cheese dressing..yes..I can get that... Oh for a chunk of freshly baked bread..hot from the oven..with a piece of Stilton or Leicester cheese and Branston Pickle..small chunks please! and a shandy to wash it down! I can't get that either..we don't have English lemonade here. !hungry! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Anne, we use Sprite or 7 Up for shandys here, and a good English beer to mix in with it. Non of this mamby pamby US cat pee! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ayupmeducks 1,730 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I usually bake my own bread Anne! I use the bread maker to take the hard work out of it, then "prove" the dough in bread pans and then throw them in the oven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anne Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Oh it sounds good to me AUMD...I think the smell of freshly baked bread is one of my favourites of all time. and you can't beat homemade bread..next to that is bacon frying when you're camping outdoors. I shall always remember walking through the caravans at Mablethorpe or Skeggie early in the morning when everybody was cooking their breakfast. Kath..I shall have a shandy for you this week-end me duck! "Cheers" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 Crikey, I thought there was a new acronym around. AUMD - I was trying to figure this one out then realised it was ayeupmeducks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rob237 89 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 ...I think the smell of freshly baked bread is one of my favourites of all time. and you can't beat homemade bread.. An old friend was a long-time sailor in the RN submarine service... Apparently, it was a regular feature of the service that when their bread was being baked about 300 feet below the surface. all permissable doors/vents were opened aboard for the odours to permeate the boat! Said to be a great cure for onboard depression amongst the crew.. Can't recall ever meeting ANYONE who doesn't love the smell of newly baked bread.. Cheers Robt P.

Don't know about the U.K., but over here, realtors will tell you to bake bread in the house prior to showing it to a prospective buyer! The opposite is true of curry!

katyjay 5,091 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 When we had the motel, folks would come in and say they'd been price-checking at other motels. If the office stank of curry, they'd leave. We had lots of Patels running motels years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 I wonder if Mick can remember one of those we stayed at(one night only) in Kissimee .I think it was Brazilian owned this one stunk of pooooo!!!!!!! just our room mind we moved out and down the road the next day Was it the same one that had what seemed like a bus load of kids running round all night too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Frank 13 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 You can buy it here Anne, as well as other places. Why not buy in bulk with friends and family to keep the postage costs down.

Though I have memories of a bunch of Carribean kids? It was only 50 cents for that steak, 'an it ung offa sides o me plate' That was the 'all you can eat breakfast place' within walking distance of that crappy motel I can't remember the name of it , but the one we moved to looked identical!!! Also we went to that Chinese all you can eat place and I said "Lei ho mah" (Hello how are you) in my best Chinese and they didn't understand a word I said LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
