What Are You Eating?

Crab meat and sweetcorn soup made with lobster instead today.
Don't get as much meat as a dozen crab claws but I'm hoping it tastes good.

 

I was going to use a smoked sausage, with some chili in it if I can find one. I was thinking Creme Fraiche as well.

 

One of the cheapest and best cuts for a slow cooker.
The connective tissue, sinew and fat give a wonderful glaze after about 8 hours bubbling away

 

I'm also tempted to make this:



But as I'm using Chicken in the Pasta, I will probably use large prawns.

 

Just seen this on twitter, £3.50 for a "portion" of chips - of which there are seven!
Do the maths
Sadly, they didn't name (and thereby shame) the offending outlet.

Edit: it's the Plough, Fen Ditton

Should have gone to the Chip Inn

 

Apparently the chips do a lot of selfless work for charity.

 

Another little plug for Lidl.
1 kg smoked / unsmoked gammon joint for £2.59!!
750 gm red onions 29 pence. Mental.

They better hurry up and turn the Wymondham Pound Stretcher into a Lidl! I want in on this sweet action!

 

Dereham and Attleborough are your nearest at the mo.

 

And Dereham is getting an Aldi, plus Norwich is getting 2 more - 1 near Aldiss and 1 where Topps and Wickes used to be.

 

Stupid. Cromer's population is circa 8,000, Wymondham nearer 14,500 yet we have one?
I guess it's largely availability of suitable premise - at low rents!

 

Wymondham haven't got one yet either! Just being talked about.

Plus Wymondham is a much nicer Town!

 

Not a very good pier and beach though!

 

Indisputable. Your pier is longer, the beaches sandier and your cinema and theatre are all top of the range

 

Plenty of ditches with footpath wooden bridges.

 

...and a beautiful Abbey!

 

Hmmm, should I stick or twist?
No, after deliberating for a nanosecond, I'll stay put - fearsome northerly winds or not.
I do remember the Feathers when Eddie used to run it, always a great pub back in the day.

 

They are twice-cooked, though! I watch my daughter from the garden of the Plough in the rowing 'bumps' on the Cam - lovely spot.

I usually send Mrs G in to pay!

 

I've been in there a couple of times. Think it's a little of the rowdy side, dingy side. I did like the fact they had Mild on tap. Not been able to go in to a pub and order "a pint of mild" like Ade Edmondson in "Bottom" before! That was about the highlight. I think The Cross Keys is the only Wymondham pub I've been to less.
