    Pease pudding - it tastes much nicer than it sounds. And looks. A lovely thick slather on a ham sandwich, you can't beat it :)
    I love pease pudding with pork chop, Cavalo nero and a mustard sauce

    They are back, a bit dearer now.

    Tesco had bamboo fibre in their posh pork sausages recently. Is it edible?

    Cumberland sausages from Lidl seem good value, high meat content, and very good taste/texture.

    Haven't got a pack at the mo so can't check the contents. I know a lot of Lidl sausages are >90% pork.

    Will edit this post when I next buy a pack

    I have never forgiven Greggs for drastically reducing their cake range. Pineapple creams went years ago, dairy scones and I’m sure they used to do turnovers with fresh cream in them as well. 
    Pineapple creams are sold in M&S

    Turning up in Asda soft cheese as well, at least they're honest instead of slipping a handful of sawdust in the mix
