    I've also just ordered the 2012 edition of that home cookery book for £13 inc postage. It's a bargain when someone on amazon is selling a used one for £95! :eek:

    That's shocking ! £95 for a cookery book eek. I'd expect a First Edition Mrs Beeton for that !

    I think I've seen them Lynsey. Will give them a go for weekend munchies then. Feeling hungry now as I haven't had any breakfast or dinner. I had a philly and rocket sandwich late last night so that makes up for it.

    Right got to go clean out the stinky rats!
    There's a storm coming, Mr Johnson. You and your friends better batten down the hatches, because when it hits, you're all gonna wonder how you ever thought you could live so large and leave so little for the rest of us.

    Rats are all cleaned, house is hoovered and there's a miniscule of snow coming down. I reallyyyyyyyyyyy don't want to do the school run. Getting a blinking headache too and I can't blame the booze. How unusual.

    I don't know why people do that. Just before Christmas there was a toy that someone was selling for £175 that is £40 in Toys R Us. Surely people aren't daft enough to buy things at those prices?

    I Googled rat recipes and found a website which infomed me that rats were eaten in Paris during the Franco-Prussian War (desperation I guess) and by winemakers in the Gironde and gave the source as Larousse Gastronomique. I have a copy of this hefty book and yes, it's correct.

    So Lip_Stick, if you want to cook up the original Entrecote a la bordelaise skin and clean the rats, then cook them over a fire made from broken wine barrels, making a sauce with claret (red Bordeaux).

    :eek:
