A lady after my heart (though flank steak works better with fried egg and cheese)

Want me to get the pan out?

I can't even sniff cheese - it smells like vomit so god knows what it tastes like.

So you wouldn't be interested in a copy of this cheese and chocolate pairing guide?

Or the recipe for these brownie stacks?

Haliorange tablets and Delrosa dished out by grandparents every Saturday were must nicer!

Did anyone else have those slightly fizzy vitamin C tablets in the 80s? They were amazing!

I tried to find them again when I considered daily vitamins but couldn't remember any box or brand name.

Evening all.

About 4-5 years ago, I slung a pkt of Rainbow Chard into the allotment in a row. I was doing it hoping to replicate the sublime moment when, on another allotment, I'd seen a row of it backlit by the westering sun and been stopped in mid-stride by the beauty of it.

Ahem. Anyway, it grew like triffids with total neglect and bolted when I was away for a couple of weeks. The insects were loving the flowering bits so much, I let nature take its course and the beggars set seed.

The seedlings came up absolutely flipping everywhere the year after, although the rainbow varieties had defaulted to silver chard and ruby chard. It is still coming up all over the place.

In 2015, I had one ruby and one regular chard seedling pop up in drills of smaller seeds. I used to have cheese sarnies on the lottie and would pull three small leaves off a five-leaved chardling and about a week later, did it again. And on and on.

I don't know if my replication of a grazing animal caused the chards to grow gangbusters but, by late summer, the ruby chard was a multi-stemmed giant about 4-5 ft tall, with lots and lots of tiny leaves (about 3 inches and under) which I used to pluck. It's still going strong, although some of the original stems fell down (and are now growing horizontally). I treat it as a salad plant.

The silver chard has much much bigger leaves (think rhubarb size) and is shorter and stockier, but still going on. I'm in southern England, so relatively mild winters, but I have seen chard go on when frosted, it wilts and then perks up again a few hours later.

My curled parsley normally dies off over winter but kept going, so I'm making salads of that and the chards. The new nettles are also coming through, choca with iron etc and I shall be having me some of them, cooked and smothered with butter, nomnomnom.

New shadow Haliborange used to make the fizzy vitamins .
Another here who grows micro greens and sprouted seeds . Quite uplifting to have something fresh and crisp in the hungry gap .
Is it just me or is anyone else trying to work out exactly what Mar does eat ? Apart from porridge and sweeties . I have never met anyone with such a strong hatred of cheese .

Probably, the closest you'll get to those, nowadays, will be Dextrose Energy Tablets.

There used to be something called Redoxon in the fizzy vitamins line, but I think now the supermarkets and Boots do their own brand version.

Virol - yuk! We had the bargain tin - about a gallon of the blessed stuff and it was kept on the top shelf of the larder as though it were a godlike being. It never seemed to do the trick and put me off healthy food for decades!

:eek: The pdf is interesting, but that search page is a thing of beauty there's something called the Lisa Marie, with equal amounts, more or less, of bacon, sugar and maple syrup, peanut butter, and cheese, with a big minority of bananas thrown in for good measure. I feel like an anthropologist :rotfl:

Fascinating, GQ! Erm, have I missed the planting season? Now that I'm definitely staying in this house for as long as I can, it'd be worth my while to get this going.

Lyn Look at the winter growing collection (organic gardening site on line } not sure how they compare on cost to what you've been looking at . I can recommend them .

Lisa Marie is Elvis Presley's daughter. This creation, called by her name, are things he loved to eat.
