I don't know - I can see it - anyone else?

I found a site that lets you send pics from your phone, but I'll stop using if it's not working.

It's an enormous breast. We were planning on cooking the stuffing on its own - perhaps in combination with some packet mix.

Do you think I should directly stuff the breast?

I'm completely open to suggestion. I'm sorry that you weren't present when the initial decision to buy a breast as opposed to a bird, boned bird or part bird (crown / easy-cut) was made.

If you're cookiing the stuffing on its own you'll have to think of another name for it :wink: I'd like to come up with one.......but I can't :?

Thank you, E. I'll get onto it first thing after I pick up the bread from Fords and the prawn softee from Greggs.

A hoover is still a hoover even if it's not a Hoover. If I am able to communicate with my mother when I say "How is the stuffing, dearest mater?" or "How was the stuffing, mama?" or "Would you like some more stuffing, mumsie?" then it does not matter that said foodstuff was not inside something at some point in the cookery process.

It may also refer to the fact that if you eat enough of it, you are stuffed.

I'm not going to tell you to therefore "get stuffed", and I hope you don't think I'm being stuffy, as I wouldn't want you to knock the filling out of me.

My trifle remit for this year necessitated me sourcing: 2 mangoes, 2 limes, a punnet of fresh raspberries, some marscapone cheese and a drop of sherry. 'Nae chance' was foremost in my mind when I left for the High Street/Scotmid. However, I managed to get the lot (apart from the sherry miniature). What a wonderful place Portobello is :lol:

sounds gorgeous - why don't you just get a bottle of sherry and drink the rest?

A better idea would be to give the other diners the rest of the sherry then they won't notice how I've managed to transform the seemingly lovely ingredients into something resembling nothing like a trifle :lol: :lol:

I have a lovely mental image of Epykat swigging back cooking sherry, getting some of it on her fake beard.
