Interesting, I will need to try it sometime. I would never have thought to put a pie with parsley sauce but don’t knock it until you try it.

My Dad used to make proper parsley sauce with Conger eels.

I like eels as a cold dish but I have never tried the water. We live and learn.

 

I imagine the original tasted a bit like a fish soup.

With a hint of old bike wheels and prams from the Thames.

Good morning early birds. I didn't think anyone would be posting yet. I've been up since 3.45am, couldn't sleep, I don't know why. I'm feeling a bit down this morning, maybe my mood will lift as the sky brightens.

Up here in Gods own County the only thing to have with your pies are mushy peas, gravy and brown sauce, none o' this garlic flavoured parsley liquor(ice).😇

Too true John and the mushy peas are non negotiable but I have been known to swap the gravy for a curry sauce 

if I was feeling exoitic

No kalos, you're not😉 A meat pie has a lovely crisp brown crust. The only reason I can see for turning it over to make it soggy is if you have no teeth☹️

They don't last long enough to go soggy.You flip them over to open them up to pour in the chillie vinegar,bit like roast hedgehog.

As vegeterian, I never understood all these new trends in meat beating. How can a meat sandwich be crispy and soggy at the same time? I might suppose it will depent on the type of meat you are using. If its beef - it will be soggy for sure. If its anything else..I guess it will be quite dry

Then along comes Roger to cheer you up...🤣

Good morning to you to Avril , I also been awake since 4 as I had a bit of a leg spasm that normally last for a hour but this one wasn’t to bad . I have a busy day today cooking french onion soup , and lemon posit with short bread biscuits for tomorrows dinner night , main course being fillet steak and dauphinois potatoes and stuffed mushrooms, it will be my in-laws 65 wedding anniversary so having them around mine for dinner rather than go out with them much safer 

 

I hope you’re day gets brighter in a little while just like the sky 🙂

It's not a sandwich using bread, It's a pie using a pastry crust.

can someone please tell me why you are allowed to have 30 people at a funeral,  and only 15 at at a wedding? 

 

Probably the same reason you can now have six people in your five a side football team .

What you need to remember Wowzz is that " A Sitch In  Time Saves  Nine "   Could save your life that .

I love Limoncello, always bring some back when we visit Italy.

Taking into consideration the fact that I've only had about 4hrs sleep, you've completely lost me with the 'moonshine experience'bro.😟

Or are you really Roger

Morning all, raining in Kent today but it’s my day off and hubby is off too so I’ve booked a slot for Scotney Castle for 11am when hopefully it should be dry.

No sun expected here Avril, but I hope your mood is improving, I can imagine there’s a lot of people feeling down today after yesterday’s announcements. 
I’m ok with what’s been announced so far but hoping against hope the no mixing of households doesn’t happen too soon as that will devastate me.

I recognise those steps 🙂

Looks like our trips to Devon can still go ahead.

 

So far, so good but I’m not 100% sure yet! I’m keeping everything crossed nothing changes for at least 2 weeks.

I feel the same.

 

After my wobbly day on Saturday I had a full on melt down Sunday evening/Monday knowing a likely announcement was coming and being convinced it was a mini lockdown of sorts with a ban on mixing households.  Cried my weight in tears I think 🙄 Back to usual self afterwards to the enormous relief of my family who didn't know quite what to do with me other than try to drown me with cups of tea 😂
