Hubble Bubble.

FOOOOD.

Take one smoked Saucisse de Morteau (or something similar), two chunky rashers of bacon (also smoked), some home grown spuds and carrots, and (shame on me) a jar of Spanish butter beans. Add fresh herbs, garlic, coarsely ground pepper, and enough water to cover; and simmer gently for about an hour.

Not only does this make a wonderfully warming winter stew (served with 'proper' home made Coleman's mustard, or a good parsley sauce), but it also makes a superb stock for your following day's soup.

Good old-fashioned vittles. Food like yer gran used to make. Fair-dinkum tucker.... And damn the diet.

If I weren't frightened of going under water, I'd be on a train within an hour, on my way to share your supper.

Yes, I like good old fashioned vittles. Enjoy. I, myself am going out to eat and won't have to do the dishes.

That sounds like something to warm you up on a cold day. Delish.
