This was pennys leaving thread and for her to explain to people why she was leaving not a thread to be used for an autopsy on another thread so there was no need to reply

Sorry, but she made this thread happen, in the full knowledge of how it would pan out, she has been around long enough to realise that if you light the blue touch paper you will get fire.

I reiterate had she simply said goodbye without the hystrionics, this would not have developed further.

Move it to DT.

Well - the one I was wondering about is a World War 2 recipe actually for Brown Betty.

The original recipe is:
4 slices stale bread (made into breadcrumbs)
2 lb apples (preferably cooking apples)
2 Tbp sugar (which I would use 1 Tbp honey instead)
2 oz butter
1 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch nutmeg
1 cup water
1 lemon

- Grease a pie dish and layer with breadcrumbs
- Grate the apples in and put whatever one is using to sweeten it over that
- Dot with butter
- Sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg
- Grate half the lemon rind and add that too
- Repeat this process for another layer and then juice the lemon and pour over the whole pudding
- Sprinkle a last layer of breadcrumbs on top
- Bake 180C for 45 minutes

************************************

I thought I might adapt this recipe by using rhubarb instead of apple and stewing the rhubarb up for a few minutes initially (being a harder fruit than apples are) and use the honey I use instead of sugar and "Bobs your uncle, Fanny is your aunt" - it might be nice....

Could work, I wouldnt use the whole cup of water,( would be too wet I think) or the bogging cinammon though_pale_:T
I might try this tomorow actually:D

Cinnamon is supposed to be all sorts of good for you - cant remember why as per usual - just recall thinking "Better throw cinnamon into everything possible then.....". I LIKE cinnamon and ginger and mixed spice and NUTMEG:p

Strange that - again - the argument is pursued most persistently by someone who's never posted on OS before and who wasn't involved in the first thread in any meaningful way.

I'm reminded of another thread not so long ago when someone's first post on an OS thread was to provoke a totally meaningless argument about the rights and wrongs of grammar.

The Arms is the place for argument and the correct procedure for complaints has been pointed out several times.

We can assume that anyone who still persists with the argument is only interested in provoking the argument itself.
