We went to Benidrom a few days ago to meet some friends from the UK who came to stay there in a hotel.

We went into one of the Brit Bars with the typical menu, the baked spud, full English breakfast type place, for a late breakfast.

I saw the kids menu was fish fingers chips and beans.

I craved for a fish finger sandwich, so I asked for one, it came with 2 large sliced white buttered rounds of bread, I put salt and vinegar on and it was heaven.

It does you good to give in to a craving and ask for exactly what you want, even if you feel a bit of a fool at the time of asking.

Domino

nothing too exciting, just some mint chocolate, but even that is satisfied by finding I can get it from Mercadona as an own label and at 79c very reasonably priced.

Nothing wrong with that ... a little of what you fancy does you good

Been craving for a fresh Goose egg ever since I last kept Geese many moons ago.
After feeding me up with a cracking good Valencian Sunday lunch, my ever so kind Spanish neighbour, came up with two of them out of the blue, plus a dozen fresh hen eggs.

Just had one for supper and the other one is lined up for brekie.

Luvly Jubbly !

What about a Hollands Steak and Kidney Pudding, now we are talking.

I used to live not far from the Hollands pie factory, and there were some pretty gruesome stories circulating locally about what went into them - quite put me off!

abiteachuck

Dont believe everything you hear, I once worked there many many moons ago and I actually made them. Believe me they are ok."BAXENDEN"

Are you thinking about the old rhyme we did at school ... Hollands Pies stuffed with flies, Concrete bottoms, irons sides Total fabrication made up for the entertainment of local children

abiteachuck

Hahahah, Correct, I still live in a Little place called Green Haworth, I can walk to Hollands in 8mins,
House up for sale when we sell, winters around Nerja, Pies or no pies,lol

Lynn R

Hadn't heard the rhyme before!

No, the ones I heard were more along the lines of fingers lost in mincing machines and that kind of thing! Probably all apocryphal but you can't help thinking of it as you raise that meat pie to your lips ...

Lionda

Definitely I've known quite a number of people who have worked there and never heard anything to authenticate those tales .. I don't eat meat pies anyway

abiteachuck

Nor do I its the Puddings, Yuuuuuuuuuuuuumy,lol
