 Posted Nov 27, 2001 by Shazz PRME(emeritus) Thanks BB Just finished the Sherry trifle one! The hardest part is tracking down the history! The recipes are easy because ever since I can remember my Mum encouraged ME to prepare it all... she said I was better at it then she was, but I suspect that it gave her a break!

 Posted Nov 28, 2001 by Shazz PRME(emeritus) That's what they're for isn't it?
Did you use flakey, puff or shortcrust pastry?

 Posted Nov 29, 2001 by Bluebottle They're there for me to eat! As for Pastry, we make our own out of what we can find in the house and hope for the best.

I don't know, I'm colour-blind. We could ask Peregrin for more information - he dealt with the pastry side, I did the mincemeat.

 Posted Dec 1, 2001 by Bluebottle Fair enough. I'll have a read I *would* have had my "Putting H2G2 On The Map" article on now, but I grabbed the wrong disk.... But when I bring the right disk to the computer room, it will be at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A662159

 Posted Dec 1, 2001 by Shazz PRME(emeritus) Excellent
I am confused/confuddled! I have just checked with a few previous edited recipes and most of them stick purely to the good old-fashioned pounds and ounces. I was trying to find the correct format for putting alternatives but have failed miserably so far! Oh well... no doubt Chris will put me right eventually!
