You can freeze them, although they are better fresh. But they keep well in the fridge better known as the mould-box here. for a couple of weeks (preservation was the original reason for smoking them, of course, so it's no surprise that they last well - just be sure they don't get stored in a damp environment, or mould can be a problem). So is storing uncovered veggies in the fridge why my cheese goes mouldy, apart from it not being the highest grade and so gets left? With bulk packs of kippers they are delivered on ice, West of the Penines. Hmm, do fish shops still use much sawdust? You can even get them by mail order, if you want to be sure of your supply. Yes, but does one then order 3kg of them because they end up as half the price, assuming the mould-box isn't culturing? |

I won't bother with the mail order as we are going to the NY Moors enough for me to be able to visit Whitby often enough to keep a stock of them in the fridge. All of the wet fish shops in the town sell the real deal and not the sad imitation with colours and flavouring - you can definitely taste the difference. -- Simon Mason |

Good idea, but I tend to eat more black pudding and eggs than kippers as they can be cooked indoors and the last time we were at Whitby the shop had around a dozen kipper pairs in the tray out in a corner. The vast majority of seafood there were other more exotic stuff like red snapper and swordfish, so there will be plenty enough kippers for me to buy. No walking for the next six days as I am at work, so Mrs M will go out on her own. -- Simon Mason |

Been in a lot of pain today so had three raw eggs, a can of Guiness and three ciders. It's mostly dulled while I'm sitting here but I think that my previous daily dose of kippers was probably working as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic. Westons' ciders (including Old Rosie) at Lidl. No walking for the next six days as I am at work, so Mrs M will go out on her own. Remind me to check the pamphlets for when i'm not so drowsy, Lidl or Aldi have a Whichbuy recommended Champers for £12 and some competition too. So, if you've ever bought a beer for £2.50 I think you should give it a go. |

Westons' ciders (including Old Rosie) at Lidl. All of my home made ciders have either exploded or leapt out of the glass when opened. Well get the dry ciders from Lidl, they have a good selection right now at ra reasonable price. No walking for the next six days as I am at work, so Mrs M will go out on her own.

Oop's, chucked out. Have a look at their website for the current offers. IIRC they also have 75cl of pommaine for 99p. IME much of this stuff is vastly superior to economy champagne. I had a bout of confusion while I was there and forgot all about it. We will be going on holiday a week on Saturday and so she will get a free half bottle of Champers at Langan's brasserie on the Pride of Hull. She'll be like a prune if she waits till then. Black pudding for breakfast the next morning as well :-) I think I prefer Aldi's black pudding to Bury Co'. because of the herbal flavour. One slice works out well with a slice of pork belly, a handful of spinach, plum tomatoes, spring onions, sweet pepper and a big egg, all cooked in walnut oil and butter and finished with sea salt. Had a bottle of Thwaites nutty Black to wash it down. Rather than make a special journey to get some Yorkshire loose tea I found Glengettie on offer a few weeks back, right tasty brown stuff, it has African teas in it. I amassed a collection of bags and am now assessing another brown tea, from Alidi this time, again on offer. Seems similar to the Welsh blend and again responds well to stewing, brewing or simple steeping. I get ****ed-off wth all these bits of paper, but have a bit of fun setting fire to them in the end. You know originally they only put the economy tea in paper envelopes because it included the floor sweepings and the blenders didn't want the customer to see the dust contained. I'm wondering how you normally keep yourself supped-up while on holiday. I think you ought to check out those European supermarkets we have here and sample their beers. Perlenbacher Premium Pils (Lidl) at 4.9% and 500ml is good for the price (I forgot) :-) There are others and some are poor even at 5% so it's not an infallable rule (5% or above is best). Perlenbacher is the first Pilsener in many years that has satified me without it being over 5% abv. Going past the litre is a good indication it IS a good beer. I'm just opening my thiird bottler now and yes my fingers ar slipping. :-) |

Fuel filling stations have a really good selection of the local beers - since our first stop is in Austria, we will probably be getting loads of Zipfer lagers in for our stop in Salzburg. -- Simon Mason |
