Old layabout
A downside to being an expat is missing certain things from back home, and one of my yearnings is pork pies - but no more. Recently discovered that they are available here at the malls, albeit frozen, and in the guise of a new brand to me - Stobarts. The packaging says 'Made in Yorkshire', so no doubt all you folk from oop north are familiar to it. Now I must say they are most delicious, and even Mrs Crank approves. She's often heard me mention this delicacy, and has finally had a taste for herself, but preferred hers warmed up in the microwave, my preference is cold.
Here's a pic of one I just consumed, and enjoying a cuppa now to wash it down:
I prefer the next size up from these, as you get a better pastry/meat ratio, but beggars can't be choosers eh.
Another thing I miss is decent chocolate, and I recently found Ikea's own branded stuff, and what a find.
About the same price as a bar of Cadburys back there, and just as scrummy.
I normally get back there twice a year, spring and autumn, but this will be the second Easter I have to miss.
Next to no chance of getting any choccy eggs here..........oh well.
