Morning

Frozzed snow here and bitterly cold

Grump grump moan whinge gurn greet

Anyone want an egg banjo?

Away from wor Gus who would hate that sort of squaddie grub

Served with chips cooked in a field kitchen

But it was warm food that kept the cold out

When Mr C did his National Service, the ‘Food of the Gods’ was an Kaisersemmel filled wivvan fried egg.

They were food of the gods when you had been doing a road block for 12 hours and had 8 to go in the winter

Especially when delivered made up in army cold boxes used as hot boxes for food and the vast cold box affair with NATO standard tea

If you were really lucky there would be red sauce for the banjo and chips

Food that warmed you and was cheap to produce seemed to be a speciality of both army and peeler food suppliers

Taste was ummm errr an optional extra

Three of the four major food groups: salt, sugar and grease. (Garlic was probably a bit too effete in those days.)

Yup that seemed to be the nutritional thinking in those days

You could also offer one to the AB and see what he thinks of your caring way of thinking about his youthful diet and way of life!

Supper chez bee was prawn biryani with steamed greens. We both have colds and have been through a bit of an eventful time, but we seem to be alive and buzzing.

Soobers, we had penne with rainbow trout, broccoli and spinach chopped fine (in the food processor) added cream, pesto, salt, pepper & Parmesan. Mr Janie ate it up like a good’un though he doesn’t really like broccoli. Put a bit of Parmesan and pesto, however, and it’s a different story. Mr Soobee would possibly like this menu?

And now Amazon seems to believe I want to read Dostoevsky.

TFD reckons this has been prompted by my purchase yesterday of 3 pairs of cheap reading glasses.

The Algorithm obviously has you down as an intellectual- what (else) have you been doing? It’s not the reading glasses per se, but they normally set off Jeffrey Archer/Sophie Kinsella
