My grandma used to make us spotted dick boiled in a cloth.
I used to love it sprinkled with caster sugar. I've never tasted another like it .I asked my mum for the recipe but she said grandma never measured anything , just threw it a together.

Watching adverts for a certain fast food chain we remarked how the cheese flopped onto the dry looking bun reminds us of Butyl that we use to line our ponds  and that got us to those triangular cheese thingies but can't remember the name.  I couldn't face 1 of those these days

That's they  ........ and Edam, who ever thought that was a good idea!

And I like both. We were in St Helena on a yacht several years ago in the days of EU food mountains. They were selling whole edam cheeses for £1. We bought the last 20 and munched them all the way to Venezuela.

When we were in Amsterdam we went to a cheese shop and bought a big block €11 if you don't mind but it was the nicest cheese I ever tasted.
Hey hey Sheila,you speak about me being posh,what's this? St.Helena on a yacht!?! That beats a house in Scotland

When in Switzerland there were cheeses about 12 feet round, 1 would have needed to roll them through Customs  . We used to buy whole Stilton from Shrewsbury as well as 150 croissants from the bakery there, to freeze.  Both would last for months.

Not quite the yacht equivalent of the Gorbals but not far off - 33ft in the middle of the Atlantic isn't quite the same as a gin Palace in Monaco  .

I feel queasy at the very thought  however lovely the surroundings or how blue the sky
