Buy a pack of smoked salmon trimmings and mash the salmon (with a fork) in the cream cheese with a bit of lemon juice. Great sandwich filler or on blinis for the posh nibble to impress!!!I lost my job as a cricket commentator for saying “I don’t want to bore you with the details”.Milton Jones0

Hi again
sorry couldn't get back to you sooner - never tried freezing as never any leftover long enough!!
Don't see why shouldn't though! Is cooked so should be stable - will try next time we make some and let you know.
Gotta dash - DD2 having friend to lunch and gotta make the pizza bases!
As well as the usual frantic rush round checking nothing untoward is on display! Last time had visitors forgot about underwear draped over playroom radiator!
