Where from?
I had a couple of the Lidl ones the other day. Very good if not quite up to Lisbon bakery’s standard

These are not local, unfortunately. There is a food market that pitches up at King’s Cross and it has all manner of tasty treats. These are my leftovers from yesterday. I had the other two while I was waiting for my train last night 
I agree, Lidl and co-op scratch the itch, but there is something lacking.

I imagine you needed a fast shutter speed to capture them before they were eaten?

This. And the fact that I have a 4 year old iPad Mini 
Pork chops!
Delish
Just roasted them in the oven with foil over the meat part, so that the crackling crisped up nicely without overcooking the meat.
Had freshly baked bread with them.

Ann was in Norfolk yesterday doing a pre-Christmas round of her relatives. Her Uncle (who’s 92) gave her this Christmas pudding made by his Mum (Ann’s Nan). Ann’s Nan passed away in 1989, so we reckon this pudding is at least 30 years old.
Christmas puds are supposed to mature with age, so what do you reckon chaps - if we steam it for a few hours, will it be delicious or will it be too old and taste disgusting?
I’d go for it. But then I have no psychological barrier as far as food is concerned.
What’s the worst that can happen

Make sure you have a dozen bog rolls on standby and also the number for the emergency doctor.

The look and aroma after we’re steamed it should give us a clue whether it’s edible
