Gen , can you work out a recipe for this? It was coda uova affumicate
The roe was so smooth.....I described to a friend as tasting like the beautiful end to a storm at sea, or a kiss with a mermaid who you know couldn't leave the sea to live with you. It wasn't light.
This was the prettiest dish though
And yes, I know, I know......but I was quick, and discrete, and passed macputer round the table quickly, and wasn't that salad to pretty not to photograph? And the cod roe was quite one of the nicest things I have ever tasted.
For the best exquisite descriptions of food can you beat the first review here?

That's fantastic! I read it out loud to dh, But that bit that bmade me hiccup with laughterwas that the next review down was 2 /tars and headlined 'disappointed with the product'.
I love it too, I use it a lot. Possibly not so much as him. But one of my friends jokes that the secret ingredient in lots of my recipes is cardomon.....I like it.0 -

I've heard that Welsh doesn't have a "J", even though the most common surname is Jones.
I think it also doesn't have K, Q, V, X or Z.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

Poor old Joneses get a rough deal, people criticising others for trying to keep up with them, and so forth....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
TBH, I always assumed that the welsh got by without the use of all those letters by putting large amounts of the other ones in random places.“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”

What worries me with Welsh is driving. You get to the end of the 24 letter word with lots of wwws and llls and ggs only to realise that the english translation underneath is sharp bend, but your mind has taken so long to compute the top bit that you :eek: while braking.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

You're getting into dangerous grounds there. Jones isn't really a welsh name, it was forced on welsh people by the dirty, corrupt, and probably evil Englishmen like myself:D“The ideas of debtor and creditor as to what constitutes a good time never coincide.”
