    Could anyone tell me where I can buy gherkins with dill please?
    All the jars I've seen just have the little mustard seeds in with them instead.
    Thanks. :)

    Could only find these in T*sco http://www.tesco.com/groceries/Product/Details/?id=262299348

    Gherkins and cucumbers belong to the same family so could possibly be used as an alternative. Info: http://www.cookipedia.co.uk/wiki/index.php/Gherkin

    I feel hungry again now!

    I know they have jars of sage in the main supermarkets etc but I am sure I saw some jars in Aldi and they were only about 45p.

    You really must try it with the sausage on there, they are so Mmmmmmmmmm! :D

    Yummy, i made the sweet and sour spare ribs. they are scrummy and really nice. its a little faffy turning them every 8 mins or so but they are worth it.

    the sauce only took a couple of mins to make and will be used in future as i love sweet and sour and usually use a sharwoods stir fry sauce and wont be buying it anymore so have also saved some money :money:

    That looks lovely :D Shame I can't eat egg, but I'm making some this w/e for son and OH and I'll have aplain sausage one. I've made them without sage and no-one noticed :T

    I'm making meatball subs tomorrow and I'll try to take a pic if I remember.
