    nodette I have a mincemeat and marzipan teabread recipe...

    Thanks so much for pointing me in the direction of the teabread - that uses a good lot of mincemeat and makes a change from mince pies, mincemeat tart, etc!! DH loves marzipan too, so that's a plus :)

    I don't know how I could have forgotten this one.It's a mincemeat cheesecake recipe that I've made twice.It's not 'overpowered' by mincemeat.It's very good:

    Hi does anyone no of any cash & carrys open to the public, where anyone can use, with out showing employment details,having credit ratings checked, just where joe public can walk in pay cash and then carry, thanks:)

    I go to Wing Yip, the Chinese supermarket/cash and carry. They don't stock everything (the cash and carry is aimed at the Asian restaurant trade), but what they do have is cheap and you can either buy it singly off the supermarket shelves (to try it out) or in bulk from the warehouse/cash and carry section. The bulk section is cheaper, of course. What they sell cheaply: rice, spices, a limited range of cleaning products, noodles, frozen seafood, various sauces and pastes, baking stuff, rubber gloves, foil, dried pulses, vinegar, sodium bicarbonate, flour, etc, etc.

    It was a bit intimidating walking in for the first time, since virtually everyone else was Chinese, but the staff are very helpful and welcoming.
