    Right just off - I'll pick up some volly cases - bring your own filling - think I have a Frey Bentos pie in the cupboard actually image. I'll pick up a Sara Lee BF gateaux for Bekkie & anything else I think of while I'm out.

    Stopped at the offy as well & picked up some Babycham & a Party 7 but right now I fancy a Dubonnet & lemonade.

    All the food's laid out on the G-plan table & hostess trolley so help yourself folks.

    See you all later - will be settling down with gateaux when GW starts.

  • Runny beak.  what's a doggy bag?  Just wrap them up in a serviette.

  • Lol Hester you must be quite young.....years ago when you had food left on your p!ate many restaurants would give you a bag with your leftover meat etc "for your dog" but nowadays you can ask for a doggie bag in a restaurant but really it's for your own sandwiches or your lunch next day. image

  • BTW.....Hello everyone, I am a newbie here. Hope to chat to you all soon. image

    Drat.  Too late to join you for that Fray Bentos steak pie...  The puff pastry always had a lovely soggy layer at the bottom...  image

    gotta stop & watch GW

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
  • No, no,  runny beak.  Was just so transported backwards and dazed with all the edible chemicals consumed, serviiettes were all that came to hand.

    When I was small my mother had a scullery with a copper for boiling the nappies and Daddy's hankies, and a mangle. I used to sit on the floor with a bowl of water and soap flakes and wash Daddy's socks. We had herring roes or bone marrow on toast for tea. It wasn't very long after rationing.
