Re: Elderflower cordial is fermenting!

This brought back a childhood memory of my Gran making elderberry wine and storing it in cellar then one night hearing popping and finding and a bit of a mess on the floor.

Re: Trimming Onions

When I take the scrapes off it leave a open stem similar to what you are saying, never had problem and I get some big onions so wonder if there is some truth in the idea.

Re: Have we done the air fryer thing on KG?

I have noticed some of items do not taste the same and wonder if this is due to manufactures cooking differently to save money.

Twiglet, cheeslets and frosties are a few that come to mind.

Re: Have we done the air fryer thing on KG?

Looking at the cost of them makes me wonder how many meals you have to make to get your money back?

Personally I think this is just good marketing, but hey if it works for you.

Re: How to serve baked beans in tomato sauce

Beans on toast with cheese on top and ideally fresh chili (with seeds) or the dried ones on top.

I like sea bass or(Bass as suggested) but whole not filleted.

The fish lady says she can only sell sardines that are filleted.

Re: How to serve baked beans in tomato sauce

"we had our beans served in mini-flower pots"

Didn't they run out the hole in the bottom?

Reason for mini chip baskets is so the portions are all the same amount, plus I can see an upsell there...would you like a medium or large basket?

Re: Long awaited Spring Bits and Bobs…

Highlight for me was the Navy marching 12 abreast merging into 6 abreast and how they all the regiments started together.

Commentators were a pain except the bloke that gave information the regiments procedures.

I'm looking forward to the concert tonight.

Re: Fresh Tuna with pasta

Cooke it last night and understand why there are no recipes for Fresh tuna pasta.

Could of had the tuna on it own and as well as the pasta separate, far to ambitious to have them both together.

Took both of you suggestions which worked a treat...Thank you both again for your help.
