I'm getting a little peckish but there hasn't been a steaming platter
seen in here for yonks. Since the first of this month, by my reckoning,
and that was a moan as well

As well / A swell / Swel - anyone remember Swel™ dried vegetables? I
used to buy a lot of those for lightweight camping, and for an emergency
ration pack - quite good, so they were, almost like the real thing and
if my memory serves (where is that waiter?) better than canned.

That *is* an idea - I think I might just drop in on ye pubbe on the way
back.

Got some green beans and half a parsnip cooking at the moment, but I
dunno what to have with them. Might just cover them with a thick cheese
sauce.

Parsnips with a thick cheese sauce sounds interesting, but you are more
than welcome to the green beans.

Should be OK - they're cut into short lengths - cheese sauce goes nicely
with most veg I find.

Spinach stalks, especially those stalks and the middle of spinach beet
leaves go really well with a thick white sauce fortified with lots of
cheese. Caerphilly should be interesting.

I may be a little time - or I might just have a nice glass of tawny port...

Or both?

I must agree about green beans, OTOH squeaky beans (runners) are yummy.
I do like parsnips very much but I reckon they'll be better once they've
had the first frost on them. [salivates...]

Baby's head, sprouts and carrots for tea tonight - S&M do a very nice
individual BH. I expect Mrs S will have her usual fish and leaves
peculiar thing, she's welcome to that, UAB.

I quite agree about the cheese sauce, we use that quite a lot. We bung a
finely chopped On!on in it too, just to give it some oomph. We often
have it with a steamed cauliflower, perhaps with some added broccoli and
spinach. It's a staple here.

There is no such thing as too much cheese sauce.

Most cheese sauce is tasteless goo, it needs to be made with extra
manure cheddar or simla extra strong blue stuff.

Mustard powder helps the taste.

I make a very hard cheese (not bad luck) by maturing cheeses made from
sour milk, letting them dry, then grating them. Beats Parmigiano
Reggiano into a sweaty cocked hat.
