Excellent. We had pork with all the trimmings including some terrific crackling.
Didn't bother with Simnel Cake as minimus is allergic to eggs and nuts ~ hard to make Simnel Cake without either really and despite the fact that he says he doesn't mind, it seem unfair to be scoffing such things whilst he cannot. Better that we all go without and that way he doesn't feel "different".
Scoffing ~ what a very nice and descriptive word that is .... wonder whence it came?
PERHAPS:
Georges Auguste Escoffier (28 October 1846 – 12 February 1935) was a French chef, restaurateur and culinary writer who popularized and updated traditional French cooking methods. He is a near-legendary figure among chefs and gourmets, and was one of the most important leaders in the development of modern French cuisine.
