Subject: RE: BS: Happy Easter
My mum was lifelong brand-loyal to Lurpak. I've always regarded it as heavy-duty Danish grease. In Cornwall we have Trewithen Dairy which makes superb butter from local milk. It's a long time since we bought any other butter. Margarine has not been permitted to cross our threshold for at least 25 years, and that includes anything calling itself low fat or pretending to be buttery via its name. Unsalted only for us. There's enough salt in the crumpets already! We're fans of M&S luxury hot cross buns, and we avoid any with weird added flavours. Mrs Steve makes a gorgeous simnel cake every Easter and I've bought a nice piece of fillet-end lamb shoulder from a local butcher with his own farm. I'll roast it slowly tomorrow. I think we each have a small Cadbury's mini-egg Easter egg, the ones you can get for a quid.
