A bit of nostalgia. Lincolnshire was once known as the Sheep County, mostly wool growing, but the meat wasn’t wasted. Now I haven't had a decent ‘lamb’ stew since my youth. Where can you buy ‘properly’ reared, grown and prepared mutton these days? The taste and texture of this, if my memory is correct, is a so much better…
When I was a lad there were only a hand full of different sausages you could buy but a visit to the supermarkets today and the number of ‘varieties’ is huge. Our local butcher makes only one, the proper Lincolnshire Sausage with the recipe being handed down from generation to generation in the family. Unfortunately you can…
Now I love liquorice, always have done since childhood when my gran, who regularly ate Pontefract Cakes, introduced me to this delight. Strangely, I can occasionally have a hiatus from this habit which has in the past lasted a few months or even years and then, seemingly out of the blue, I get that urge and just have to…
My daughter is scared of eating them but I have just polished off a kilo - with chips and mayo of course. It’s my stand by order in any street side cafe bar along the coast anywhere between Belgium and Brittany - but despite being here at home in Cornwall they are hard to find. OK I’m 20 miles inland and there might be…
Good evening, we’ve got a Cadac Grillo Chef 40 and was wondering if anyone had used it with a rotisserie? If so, what rotisserie have you got to fit in it? Can you use the Cadac for this function? We're going to France in the summer and normally take a charcoal BBQ with a rotisserie but the campsite we’re on this year…
Who doesn't love a marshmallow teacake, especially Tunnocks? Here is an interesting tale about the biscuit. When Royal Air Force pilots discovered chocolate-coated marshmallow teacakes expanded at high altitudes, they became “the subject of some rather unscientific in-flight experiments” in the 1950s. Air crews removed…
I hope you're all enjoying your journeys, wherever they may be taking you. Today, I wanted to start a discussion that combines two great loves of mine - caravanning and cooking. One of the things I love most about caravanning is those evenings when we've whipped up something truly delicious. There's nothing quite like…
Any recommendations in parts of the country some of us might be visiting? I can recommend two in Somerset, just off the A3303 near the South Petherton roundabout. The Trading Post and Bower Hinton Farm Shop. Both have coffee shops (one in an old railway carriage) So also quite useful if you've got a motorhome and want a…
Has anyone managed to cook a pizza on a cadac pizza stone? We have tried every way possible to cook on it and the pizza still sticks to the stone so now it is relegated to the back of the cupboard.
Whilst we wait for the new forum to catch up with the Old Site's "Stickies" I thought I would start a new thread about where to eat when out and about. It could be when you are visiting sites or merely advice for anyone visiting your area. Ironically this first post is not a recommendation for a specific place but a…
