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.

I had bran flakes and manderin oranges with a cup of tea a bit earlier this morning. Feeling a bit peckish now but will hold out till lunchtime if i can, if not it will be a yogurt.

Big slice of cheese and onion pie at a pub in Barrowford Lancashire for lunch delicious!

Homemade, mixed nut & cranberry granola with grapes and yogurt. ??

I meant to say Redhead56 that my OH’s parents lived in Barrowford?

A slice of white bread spread thickly with a mixture of tomato ketchup and mayonnaise.

Overnight oats with berries and a nectarine - yummie!

I make lardy cake (once in a blue moon) with Trex - seems to work OK.

Golden syrup dumplings with cream. Yum yum

Dh’s granny used to make a lardy cake he still occasionally raves about - I’ve yet to make one, though. I’m afraid the ‘lard’ bit puts me off. I only ever buy it in order to make bird pudding in very cold weather (our birds are very appreciative).

Two (delicious) jam doughnuts yesterday. I blame dh, since he bought a pack of 4 from M&S, and obviously I had to eat my two because it would have been a sin to let them go stale.

I have just googled Lardy Cake, is it similar to pain aux raisin?

Half a small lardy cake slice with a cuppa. Dh had other half.

I haven’t had a Lardy cake for decades, I didn’t know they still made them. I must seek one out.

You need to find a small West Country bakery. Bakers of Bath do large and individual slices amongst other delicious naughty but nice cakes. They also do fantastic lunch time rolls with multiple fillings to pick and choose from. If ever you are in Bath worth a visit.

Beans on Marmite toast.

Could eat it again it was so delicious.

Fig yoghurt with prunes followed by 2 Brie and black cherry jam filled croisants and coffee. Feeling full as an egg.

Overnight oats with fresh strawberries and blueberries.

I just love these. Terrific! Thanks for sharing. My grin is immeasurable.

One too many minced beef pies - only intended to have one ?

tanith Tue 23-Aug-22 22:46:17

The remains of the Rhubarb sponge I made yesterday and a magnum.

BigBertha1 Tue 23-Aug-22 22:40:06

Too much fruit...nothing else interesting in.

henetha Tue 23-Aug-22 22:21:49

A sausage roll and half a bunch of red grapes.
I'm starting a diet tomorrow.

Grannybags Tue 23-Aug-22 21:33:18

Far too many Victoria plums.!

It's such a short season I eat more than is good for me most days grin

Eaten, mushroom and Stilton risotto.
But drunk 1 and a half pear tree cocktails!

Dark chocolate with raspberries and violets. It was a present and I was worried it might taste like soap but absolutely delicious.

Too much
