I have just eaten

Almond nut magnum

Porridge with jersey full cream milk

I think you mean the other way round??

too many cookies

Haven't had anything since breakfast, which was a bowl of dark chocolate and berry fruits muesli. But now I want some of that dark chocolate with raspberries and violets, it sounds heavenly. Any idea where they got it, teabagwoman ?

@ Tizliz, I think it’s the other way round as Oscar Wilde said.

Usual breakfast- a banana. Exciting!

I made banana and oatmeal pancakes this morning, served with fresh blueberries, a blob of Greek yoghurt and just a tiny drizzle of golden syrup.

One sourdough crumpet.

Toast and marmalade.

An enormous samosa

Big dish of Del Monte prunes in juice. Yum!

Coco pops, skimmed milk, 2 peppermint teas and a choc chip cookie.

Nothing, but will be having avocado on toast for lunch

Iv just eaten...Porridge and banana..

We had Lardy cake on holiday in Devon many years ago. I thought it was a regional recipe as I wasn’t aware of it either in Yorkshire or Derbyshire where I’ve lived. I loved it but it is a very filling cake. Think it contributed to a large weight gain that holiday ?

I’ve just had a bowl of home made minestrone soup and a Nandagold.

Is a Lardy cake a type of fruit bread or is that something entirely different.?
It all reminds me of Betty’s fat rascals, delicious.

This is the recipe I use.

I wonder if G'chn coming at the weekend is enough of an excuse to make some?

Thankyou Nannytopsy
I now know I have never had one.
I shall be on the lookout now.

Golden syrup dumplings with cream. Yum yum

Ooh, I’m going to Google golden syrup dumplings now!

They used to sell lardy cakes, which I love, in our local Waitrose, DH and I would have half each, so it's probably a good idea they stopped selling them.

Two well past their SBD crumpets with strawberry jam! Please don’t tell my DD!

I've only ever read about lardy cake in story books.

How to describe lardy cake? It’s baked in a tray and comes cut into squares. There are raisins, sultanas etc scattered through it. The texture is the hardest thing to describe - clearly has quite a high fat content, tends to be a bit layered, not as light as a croissant or pain au chocolat. Can anyone add to that?
Love them but haven’t had any in ages.

Half of a twirl.
