Ah the fleece coats your wee insides though, so you dont need any outside !

I freeze for 24 hours, remove and let the bag dry out, then put in one of those big plastic boxes.

Thanks

Favourite recipe for fleece:

Half a single fleece
2 large onions
any old carrots

Pressure cook for 40 mins and season to taste.

I find the tartan fleece gives a delicate ethereal haggis-type flavour .:cool:

Has the fleece harvest suffered from the weather though - are their going to be shortages? And what will we use to keep warm when we eat all the fleeces - Ahh you hadn't thought of that had you!

Maybe we could use some of our stocks of flour to make pastry jackets?

Holland is reporting:
potatoes are going up in price due to a very dry summer = bad crops.

So all tattie producs will go up as well..

I'm wondering if it's true though... the reasons for I mean. Ever since I can remember I have heard that line.... this and this will go up in price due to: cold summer, wet summer, dry summer, no summer etc....

:mad:

And the farmers themselves are struggling something awful. There's this one farm here that is taking a different route. He's selling his produce directly to the consumers. You can come in during certain months.. bring your own sacks, crates and lunch.. and he will provide the tools.. then you go off into the field and harvest your own tatties, onions, beans etc.. at brilliant prices. That way we get good prices and he gets good prices.

I'll be paying him a visit for sure..

If you cut the fleece in to strips you could almost recreate shop bought lasagne, no one would really notice.
