Kitchen Garden Forum

Hi all

Not sure if this is the right place to put this. I'm sure someone will move it if it's in the wrong section.

Anyway, I was wondering what everyone was taking to the meet up for munchies. I know Grock is taking her famous Sticky Toffee Pud, but was wondering what others are bringing.

Thought i'd ask cos my mum was asking too....she loves a good feed

I'm planning on taking some Coronation Chicken and Mushroom Rice.

JM's White Chocolate and Whiskey (Croissant) Bread and Butter Pudding.

Plus some savouries - depending on what other's suggest.

Please bear in mind we don't have a kitchen or a bathroom at the mo - due to floods.

Hi Lizzie,
I am taking 4lbs of Pork, Leek and Stilton Sausages and a plateful of carved Gammon. I shall hold some sausages back this year as last year I put them out and turned my back for a second and they all went and I missed them!! I didn't starve as there were some really scrummy things about.
Am really looking forward to the day.
JB.

im taking homemade bread and butter. dont know what else yet
Seedling

Make your own butter too?
I'm not going to be able to make it this year.
Hope you all have a great time - I'm sure you will!

News from Malvern, the Autumn Show is ON

We've decided - definitely the JM pud as already said and some home made soups. Now - before you ask how we're going to warm them up - I'll tell you, 'cos it's quite interesting.

A few weeks ago I bought an Edwardian Travelling Stove on E-bay. It's got an oven and two hotplates and it's like a big doll's house cooker. It was a bit of a bargain, not least because only one other person made a bid. I couldn't understand why it didn't attract more interest, but my colleagues at work quickly told me that I was the odd one even considering bidding for it.

I've been wittering on about taking it to Malvern, just to prove that it was a good thing to buy, so Lyn gave it the once over today to make sure it's working and safe.

He also read the catalogue that came with it. The previous owner (in Kent) sent that to prove the stove had been sold at Sotheby's in 1995. I just put the catalogue away with the cookbooks, but Lyn wanted to see if it said anything about the history as some of the parts of the cooker were made in Birmingham at a time when his grandfather was making brassware at the same company. We don't have any of his grandad's work, so we thought it would be spooky if this turned out to have a connection.

What he found out was that the stove was part of a private collection of kitchen items put up for auction by Anton Mosiman. So - Mr Martin's bread and butter pudding recipe will be served from Anton Mosiman's stove next Sunday - ironic as Mr Mosiman is considered by many to make the best bread and butter pudding in the world!

You couldn't make it up?!

You can add potato salad to the list. We have some allotment neighbours joining us and they're bringing some.
