Roasted calli

Indeed

My Nan used to make a whole roasted cauliflower and cheese pie. She used to call it brain pie. It was delicious, I’ve tried to recreate it but it’s never quite as good.

Love the idea of that! Must try it.

Tommyfields is a pale shadow of what it used to be, or at least the outdoor market is. The indoor isn’t bad but my early memories are of the old Victorian one which sadly burnt down.

Don’t know Royton very well but do remember Limeside and especially walking down Coalpit Lane to Daisy Nook especially at Easter for the Silcocks funfair.

Parents are both in Middleton and brother over in Greenfields. Jealous of the later as its so lovely but within easy commute of Manchester or Huddersfield.

Just for serving it up to the kids (who both like cauli cheese) and saying it’s Brain Pie. How cool is that? Bit of shortcrust over the top to represent a scalp…

With hair?

The horror was always there with my Nan. When she was about 85 she cut her two middle fingers off her right hand at the knuckle with a lawn mover. She promptly wrapped them in her pinny and popped next door for assistance. The neighbour immediately fainted and smashed her head on the way down, she was bleeding heavily and my Nan tried to bandage her up with one hand still gushing blood. When the ambulance arrived they thought it was a murder scene.

Happy days :astonished:

Those things happened back then, I suppose, but they’re still quite shocking to hear now.

Oh wow, that must have been awesome, in a snuff movie sort of way!:rofl:

Edit, that was @loo, not you Dave.

@chelseadave, I’d just egg wash it and say it was @stu s head. :smiley:

American films can have one. I saw Spider-Man today, and you had a jet flying from the Netherlands to London going over the ā€œDorsetā€ coast (it even labelled it), and then you had the Queen’s Guard defending the Tower of London. Using machine guns.

How hard would it be to check?

Could’ve been Ryanair, flying to London Bournemouth.
