The Music Hall night was a very large-scale hoot. No-one sang the song I was thinking of, but it would still be suitable for the Harvest Suppper:

'Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one as big as that before!
Oh, what a beauty! It must be two foot long or even more!
It's such a lovely colour, so big and round and fat!
I never thought a marrow could grow as big as that!
Oh, what a beauty! I've never seen one as big as that before!'

and the marrow is still in place ....

A harvest loaf from 2011. The more elaborate ones you see in bakers' windows are made with a heavily-salted dough so that they don't go bad, but they aren't edible. This is made with a proper stoneground dough and is very edible even if it looks like a troll's foot. (Picture by Bryan TheSnail Creer.)
