yes please

Sorted Mr Flogger. I shall hide them from David or they will be scoffed.

thank you so much amy , you have saved me another wasted journey of 30+ km's to the next superstore, only to find they have sold out and cheered up Mr Grumpy!

catch up soon

No problemo - how many boxes should I get?

3 should suffice, dont want to be loading on the Ib lol thanks!

Okay - I will send him a pic of the boxes once I have them...or is that just cruel? lol

lol sounds good to me

I suspect, indeed know that you can't get gammon easily in this area. I have checked all the supermarkets and asked at the 3 butchers in the city. One of them in Lakefield has a British guy working there and he said that he could do it but needed several weeks notice and that as a special order it would cost more.

As for ham joints they are all smoked. I want an unsmoked joint not riddled with chemicals and sugar.

Had some lovely mince pies from Safeway today. Just the right ratio of filling to pastry.....yummy!!

Must admitted that it got me when we first moved to the bridge...........
I spoke with a butcher and now get bacon and gammon

I have to buy in larger pieces, but they do normal but costs loads
So i buy and slice the bacon (medalion bit) and cut the gammon/meat to our size

Just speak to butchers in the area, they may look at you silly, but i hope you can find one that helps

Perhaps give Pete a call - http://petesfrootique.com/british_butcher.php they may be able to help you out.

I've just got my Haywards pickled onions and stilton to have with my left over turkey.

Not sure what sort of establishment he thinks he is running, but neither gammon, or even the pickled walnuts yielded any results.

Really? Shame on Pete.

That was me btw sorry dear
