Sneakeater Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 This batch is really good, I think. (Although not remotely "authentic".) Wilf, it's so easy to make. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eaten as the main ingredient of a salad (i.e. sliced cucumber, pickled beetroot, lettuce and tomato, with Heinz Salad Cream), as a sandwich filler, or dipped in batter and deep fried. The latter is a Spam fritter, and they were a weekly item on the school lunch menu growing up. With Heinz Baked Beans, I think. Here's another quaint British snack, the gala pie. Essentially, this is a pie with the same crust and spiced pork filling as the traditional pork pie, but made with the addition of eggs. The shape is rectangular to display the eggs to proper effect when sliced. http://www.cookingwithrichard.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/03/gala-pie-sm.jpg More tasty treats? cornish pasties Quote Link to post Share on other sites
