Thinking about it, discovering roll mops was probably the best thing about that marriage.........<br />I do love Waitrose though. Anywhere where somebody called Tarquin collects the trolleys and arranges the displays of veg - much more civilised than our nearest Tesco where the local neanderthals thump trays of fruit and veg on top of each other then chuck them about, making sure they're bruised and inedible the day after you've bought them.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09726164724131916224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-26303564389555556752015-07-23T05:15:51.199+01:002015-07-23T05:15:51.199+01:00You are made to follow arrows, which is slightly a...You are made to follow arrows, which is slightly annoying.

They are a little heavy on the cream, which can be scraped off, but the herring fillets are quite a good size. Usually one is enough and we find they go nicely with salad for a light lunch.
