I fancied a veggie pasty on Friday night for dinner. I put it in a hot oven for 15 minutes, but when I went out to turn the heat down, the seam in the pastry had opened up! As the pastry had still not set, I quickly opened it up to form a tart, sprinkled a bit more water over it and wrapped the baking tray completely in foil. When it was nearly ready I sprinkled some grated onion and cheese over it and left it unwrapped for the rest of the cooking time. Disaster averted, and it tasted delicious even if it wasn't quite what I intended.

Sounds tasty :okay:
 
One of the guys in the office bought in a Ginsters pasty on Friday which he put in the microwave, it smelt horrible, Ginsters pasties and Pukka Pies :thumbsdown:

Highlight of my life in the late 1940s/early 1950s was to go in Joe Lyons's with my Mum and Dad and have "milk and a dash (of coffee)" to drink. I don't know whether it was proper coffee or chicory but it tasted lovely with a buttered roll and a piece of cheese.

One week I ordered my spare/emergency jar of Nescafe (my son-in-law won't drink "proper" coffee), only to find they had substituted a jar of Rocket Fuel. Absolutely gorgeous, although you are not recommended to have more than 3 cups a day or drink it at all if you have heart trouble.

Rocket fuel? I've never tried but who knows..maybe sooner or later I will try it too. But think that we can find here only in some organic/biological shop (with chicory coffee) not in a coffee bar.. In Italy espresso coffee is almost untochables like football and Mammà :laugh:
Usually on Sundays my husband and I have breakfast out and cappuccino with croissant is a must have! Sometimes I only have hot Milk (generally Soya milk) with a sprinkle of cinnamon and not sugar ( soya milk is already sweet)..but original cappuccino is milk+coffee (a teacup), foam on top with a sprinkle of cacao ( or cinnamon, but not so usual).
