OT, from Gillian

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.

Good chocolate and ruby port is also a fine thing.

Sounds like the recipe for pike (ferocious fish found in UK lakes). Take the pike, slit it down the middle and pin it to a wooden breadboard. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Douse with balsamic vinegar. Add a little English mustard. Throw away the pike and eat the breadboard - it's much tastier and easier to chew...

I've heard that some people grill PBJ's and Nutella sandwiches.

Cheryl

No - New England style, warm apple pie, cold cheese on the side

What kind of cereal are you thinking of, Bruce? We're talking dry cereal, like cornflakes, rice crispies, chex, etc.

Gee, I wonder whereever you got something like that, Pat?

Nice to hear from a member of the real RAF. I hate all these RAF types who wax lyrical about those smelly, noisy flying thingies that disturb the peace of a nice quiet aerodrome. I never had the pleasure of being nursed by the RAF but when attached to the army (24 Bde) I was admitted to HMS Drake with acute bronchospasm. At this time (1969) inter-service co-operation in medical matters was not very good. After 4 weeks in HMS Drake I received an letter from RAF Tangmere (my "official" unit) containing my dental records and an appointment with an RAF chest specialist at RAF Wroughton; the Navy were, understandably, incensed at this intrusion on "their" territory. The rest is a very long and, to me, highly amusing story which I shall refrain from inflicting upon the current audience.

Hmmm, I have potato chips and I have ice cream. Yum!

We get great Stilton here. Pricey, but great.

I am sure there are, though I confess I do not pay close attention. Sidney Crosby was home playing the other day, I did hear that lol

Oh, I remember my son Richard telling me of some of those awful combinations when on exercise in Norway (Royal Marines) - I must ask him if he`s tried that particular horror!

As for the mineral water in your signature - I suppose it was absolutely fine underground - but once man interferes with it - who knows?

I`ll never forget my mother`s shock, during the war, when a pair of American G.Is, asked for cheese when she served them with Apple pie! They couldn`t have known that they had cheerfully demolished our total ration for the month in one sitting!!! LOL!

Pat

If you get desperate, Bruce, I can always send you up a pack of "Seriously Strong Cheddar"! Particularly now the weather`s cooler.

Pat

Has anyone tried a deep-fried Hershey/Mars bar, in batter? I`ve never dared try it, but I know it`s done!

Pat

Can`t think! Some peculiar woman from North Dakota, as I recall!
