On the rare occasions we have Yorkie Puds, I make my own. But it’s faff, and fuel, and as there’s only two of us as a rule, it’s hardly worth an egg’s worth of batter.  I had to pop (or nip) up to Jackson’s for a lemon this morning, thought “what the hell”, and picked up a bag of Aunt Bessie’s.  £1.85! And while they weren’t as nice as mine, they weren’t at all bad, and we have ten left for … whenever.

We also had half of the Aldi Apple Strudel I picked up this week; it cost 99p for four, or possibly six, servings and was really quite acceptable. Recommended. Because, after all, who’s going to make a strudel from scratch? Not me.
