I think most people prefer to eat fish that doesn’t eat them back.

I’ll drink to that, Hedgers.
I don’t know whether we have a Farmfoods here; I haven’t noticed one. I have found Tesco frozen spinach to taste of, well, spinach…
(Research shows that the nearest one is 30 minutes away and involves using the M25 as well as not being on my way to anywhere. Oh well.)

The 'Normous Tesco is 5minutes away by car, Sainsburys is prolly 7 minutes away
Both were in the Wrong Direction yesterday
I did try the Co-Op, but they majored on Pizze & Ice Cream , with only Peas& Beans in the veg section

There will be some around in The Cellar - I don’t eat it
I don’t actually have a particularly sweet tooth, but dried apricots steeped in Vodka until they plump up are delicious

I have been into That London, and it has taken me best part of four hours to do a trip which would usually take under an hour, what with the Holiday Traffic and three separate RTIs with lots of twos and blues which kept it at a standstill for the whole of Gardeners’ Question Time at one point…
Apricots in vodka hold the apricots to put onto home-made vanilla ice-cream, for me, please, and thank the Good Lord fasting for a few minutes first for airconditioning in the car.

Well what did you think he needed Fishy’s air conditioning for?

@Carinthia (above) was most unkind to suggest Voddy Apricots earlier. When I didn’t have any.
What I did have was a tin of Mandarin Oranges. So I put about a third of a cupful - minus most of the juice they come in. Into a cup. Then I added a good measure of Vodka and put them to inebriate
Just poured those over some ice-cream. Delicious.

Now that shows the kind of practical, make-do-and-bend spirit which seems to be sadly lacking today (Gus is 94 and has a severe aversion to Tonbridge Wells)
Carinthia dahlink, you are corrupting cellarites. Keep up the good work, as well as the chin and the spirits.
PS: Gus also isn’t a great one for the ice-cream. Although the ginger one my mother makes does have me breaking the pledge occasionally…

Um. Not feasible from here I fear although I most happily would, Chatelaine. You possibly should know that I am, inter alia, the person who stapled a hymn book to her finger and caused Fainting among classmates, though …

We make ginger ice-cream here. Also garlic ice-cream. I just thought I would mention.

Strangely fascinated by the thought of garlic ice-cream. I could do parmesan tuiles to go with 
Hm, there was a starter this week on Great British Menu of a nasturtium ice-cream with a warm strawberry veloute. It looked awfully pretty but I had me doots. Gloopy, gloomy doots.
