Is everyone Gokking?

Never judge a sausage by it's skin!! :-D

pricklyholly-- many yrs ago when i worked in a special school,i little boy always had cheese and jam sarnies,i was told it was a northern thing?well im from the north and ive never heard of it.
my son has mayo on everything,
i love cold chinese :-D
my sister used to put mint sauce over everything even a full english yuk. :-D
and my 2yr old grandson mixes his yoghurt with his main meal and eats the lot,his parents have had to ban yoghurts until hes eaten his meal. :-D

Well Wend, there is one suggestion stuff it! :-D

We actually like marrow cooked gently in water and drained then tossed in butter. with plenty of pepper.

I am sure you can make marrow and ginger jam too although I never have as OH doesn't like ginger.

Just thinking that your Posh Nosh designer dish might even be improved with the addition of a rasher or two of chopped bacon (dare I say lardons!) fried up with the onions, Dizzi. It sounds a tasty dish anyway and you could experiment with the addition of anything that might be sitting around in the fridge! x :-)

Lol Ann! We've already had a few stuffed ones (with mince, etc.), but I'd like to do something different. Perhaps I should try frying marrow pieces and topping with a fried egg - boy, that sounds truly yukky! I love marrow just boiled myself, but there is a limit to how much you can eat and we can't give them away, no-one wants them!

As for making jam, I'd rather spend a couple of hours heavy digging on my allotment :-D

It was years before i realised that "Jelly" as in peanut butter and jelly sandwiches was actually jam!!
Not that i know anyone that eats it mind!!
I imagined people adding wibbly wobbly jelly on top of peanut butter!!
Brrrrr!!! :-S

Wish you lived near here then wend, i wouldn't refuse one.

Actually when I put up about a glut of cucumber somebody said to slice, coat in flour and fry. Now, the two are not dissimilar. You could experiment. After all I roasr courgettes.

Hi Wend, My mother always softened chopped onion in a frying pan before adding strips of marrow and slices of tomato (or tinned if unavailable). A pinch of dried herbs may be added if liked. A little water is added, but not too much since the marrow produces its own. Simmer gently with a lid on until the marrow is tender. I find it more palatable than boiled! My grandmother was french so therein probably lies it's origins! x :-)

Both of those sound good - thankyou ladies :-D

.Marrow pie.Just stew the marrow for a few minutes in a little water with some sultanaPuy into a lined pie dish with some sugar and ground ginger.Pastry top.into oven.Yum.yum.yum.

I am not a lover of cheese unless it is cooked, but in the 70s I remember taking cheese and jam or marmalade sandwiches to school (I'm not northern)

Cheese and Jam sandwiches, any cheese any jam, i have been eating this for quite a few years, also peanut butter and jam sarnies is also very good in moderation of course. ;-)

Barry, something similar when I was young used to have a scoop of ice cream in a glass of coke or pepsi, used to be called a floater.

HI LEE
MODERATION
HMMMMMM NA DONT DO THINGS IN
MODERATION.

HAVE YOU TRIED CREAM CHEESE ON DIGESTIVE BISCUITS

THE DIGESTIVE MAKES A GOOD BASE FOR A HECK OF A LOT

Wend, how about a rattie twoey?

Prickles, my fella eats peanut butter and jam together :-0 AND he's plebbie with the ketchup :-| common as muck Ah say.... :-0

Dizzi, I'm sure His Nibs would like your cabbage and egg dish. I like white cabbage but not so keen on eggs. Runny yoke makes me gag I'm afraid.

Oh Dizzi that is one of my favourite snacks, scrumtious (sp) but you can't just eat one, more are called for.

Caz

I think dunking chips in mayo and salad cream is right nurdy!!

*Runs* :-D

très continental ma chère :-)

I once worked with a northern chap who used to eat canned Pilchards and custard mixed (urgh) in his lunchbreak
he said it was common practise to do this in the north, but i could never find anyone who had eaten this culinary delight apart from him.

HIYA DIZZY. SEE YOU GOT RID OF THE PINK HAIR DIZZ. LMAO :-) :-D ;-)
