    Then glazed with honey / mustard + Demerara ext. Or something similar and you can use the stock for soup

    It's the acid in the coke that tenderises it, it's lovely, but I agree, I like the 'proper stock' for soups and broth.

    They have some of the Christmas gammons really big ones originally about £20-£22 in my store today at 1/2 price with the yellow sticker.
    They are dated 7th I was wondering if anyone knows when these will go to a really cheap price as they had quite a few, of course the muggles might buy them but they had them in 2 places and didn't seem to be shifting.

    The gammons are gradually being bought at the yellow stickered price in my store Angela, the ones without bone in down to £1.99kg have been going really quick as most around £5 mark the ones with bone in are a lot bigger around £10 mark (£1.95kg) and are selling a bit slower.

    There were lots of the finest gammons in my store that have 7th on but not been reduced yet, I have my eye on one of those even though I already have one of TMs bad boys in the fridge. :o :rotfl:

    Good evening :)

    Im home from my break. Arrived home to a house full of people with stinking colds :( Looks like the kids won't be at school tomorrow unless there's a vast improvement.

    I haven't a hope of catching up. I hope everyone is well and those affected by the awful weather are safe.
