I have a sort of a recipe. Nothing precise.

About:

1 decent sized pudding chopped;
3/4 cup of chopped bacon;
3/4 cup of chopped onion;
2 bay leaves;
Good splash of white wine (enough to make it moist enough for you to spread); and
Thyme.

I won't bore you with the details as I am sure Sister can bash the above into a pudding stew.

And serve with mash and toast.

:D
Bah!

It's rare for you to make a spelling error Hen, there's a misplaced "t" in there, which should be a "p".

Spew on toast?

Food of the Gods in fact!

Thanks Hen. The only problem now is finding half decent black pudding around here...

That sounds almost like a rough pate, Hen.

I 've only eaten black pudding once, as part of breakfast at the local Irish(y) pub in SF. Can't say I loved the texture, but that was eating it plain. Chopped up with a little onion and bacon and white wine, served on crunchy toast sounds pretty good. (Of course, bacon and onions can make nearly anything good!)

Really?

Peet's coffee (whom the founders of Starbucks ripped off) is far superior.

I've always found Peets too acrid and acidic for my tastes, but you Peets people are very passionate about your coffee!

I don't like coffee that's been faffed about with. Coffee and hot water is all it needs.

Glo's do it best IMO...

Sorry to hear that.

Perhaps if some Vegamite was stirred into it?

You can get proper marmite in Woolies here now Stoat. The Aussies also make their own version of marmite which is indeed shocking!

Vegemite and Promite are for those whose tastebuds have been killed by a lifetime of drinking shitty Aussie beer. :lol:

Then we'll have to introduce Aardy to some proper beer! It's the least we can do... :D

For a 2-day stay how much cash should I get in GBP? I'm assuming I can use c-cards for most things.

Ok, so let's say you're going to be getting off a plane in England after flying from a country with a DIFFERENT currency. What might you expect to change into the local script for a 2-day visit? Keeping in mind that c-cards will be loaded and ready.
