Have you tried a donner nan calzone yet? Where the pizza base is swapped out for a nan bread?
Marzipan. The proper homemade stuff with ground almonds, sugar, egg, and a little almond essence, not the tasteless gunk that passes for marzipan which is sold by the supermarkets.
Let me tell you a little story.....
The Maasai believe that their god/s gifted them all the cows on the planet. Every single cow in the world is theirs. Even in countries which they've never even been to, like Britain, for instance. They simply don't understand why their neighbours get so upset when they go and take a herd or two from them by force, because obviously all they are doing is returning their possessions to their rightful owners......themselves.
I take the same view with marzipan.

I'll need to ask my 2nd choice Calzone vendor if he can sort that for me, as my 1st choice doesn't have nan bread.
But I'll deffo make a point of asking; they shouldn't have any problem sorting that out.

Oh yes, pain aux raisins...however, they have to be just so. Preferably warm, not over cooked (a very light brown), perfect balance of custard to raisins, a perfect freshly cooked one from Pret A Manger is extremely hard to better, especially when they get the skinny wet latte right alongside!Greek yoghurt with honey, i can eat 4 pots at a timepain au raisons,, any thing with caramel
M&S can get them right too, but often they are overbaked, ditto the Coop. Waitrose ones can be ok if fresh and not too dark but they are small, Tesco are poor as are Sainsbury's, Caffè Nero have gone down hill and Costas are just bloody awful. Not tried Patisserie Valerie or Paul lately...
Not that I'm experienced in the consumption of such delicacies or nuffink

Fish and chips cooked in beef dripping I would have everyday with scraps mushy peas and 5 slices of bread
Unfortunately down in the south where I now live they can’t cook them for toffee and they are awful and so I am still alive
