Re: french train tickets
But I seem to have developed a stupid fear of flying and as it just ruins my whole holiday I thought I'd try the train route. The only thing left to say is ....
ps: to top it all off I just got home and my iron gates are well & truly stcuk - so I put some wd40 and that didnt work and so I got a hammer and just wacked it open - hubby is not going to be pleased when he gets home :

Golden syrup can be found in several shops ( i get mine at esselunga, but you haven't got a convenient one. I think Rivalta is the nearest).
Piccali can be found at Paissa -at a price. Eataly sometimes stocks pickle though not continually and on rare, very rare occasions they stock cheddar! The cheddar gorge cheese company now send it but I haven't tried them -yet.
I've only seen suet on a couple of occasions and as for treacle, never.
Oh is off to Venaria next week but I'm not going. If you walk down the Viale from the cinema, take the 2nd left oh's family live on the on the left over the takeway (the takeaway has caused a huge family fallout which is why I'm staying here).

[QUOTE=indiebird;7761042]Nope I have tried it. I don't like it!! I can taste it!!I have found cream of tartar recently so i can now make my own baking powder though
That's what I mean about the dosage - so you can't taste it. Or maybe I've got used to the taste of it.

Re: french train tickets
I love italian food and cooking but their cakes are rubbish!! I can always taste that nasty fizzy bicarb in them!! However, I have recently discovered that mascarpone makes a very wonderful substitute for double whipped cream in the middle of a vicoria sponge!! ...although as dh pointed out, that is only useful here as in the UK mascapone would be much, much more expensive than double cream!!

Re: french train tickets
Indie - surprisingly the train ticket route has cost me less than flying. Probably cos the flights to london weren't that brill for end Aug and also to connect to Guernsey was a headache - overnight stay in London (more expense) and then the flights to Gsy were very dear - so all in all I'm happier all round. We were lucky with the return Paris to Turin cos there were some smart seats left at 25€ - that had me jumping up and down with joy at the station 
ps. have sent you a pm
