Thread Name: BS: Iron cookware (frying pan)
Subject: RE: BS: Iron cookware (frying pan)
Here in Norfolk UK there is a very 'posh' area on the north coast, around Burnham Market (known as Burnham Up-Market!) Here one finds wonderfully extreme kinds of shops, including a posh hat shop which sells the types of hats for going to Ascot. There are country clothing shops selling Barbour waxed jackets for £400 and posh green wellies for £200, and delicatessen shops selling posh cheeses and caviar (really). You get the picture. There are also numerous posh cookware shops, which I adore, just to browse as I haven't a lot of spare cash. There seems to be an obsession among the posh for wooden spoons. One sticks them in an antique pottery jug beside the Aga and it declares to all one's poshness. After this long ramble, I'll get to the point... they also sell every kind of Le Creuset cookware, and the last time I was up there in Poshland, I noticed that Le Creuset now do stuff in all sorts of lovely colours. They began with a rather zizzy burnt orange lined with cream enamel, but now there's brown, blue, cream and even black. I can do without caviar, posh wellies or fancy hats, but oh how I wish I could afford some Le Creuset!
