    Aubergine is what we call eggplant here in the southern US. Looked like purple eggplant from the skin. I grow the purple and the green eggplant in my summer garden. I'll be planting in the next few weeks. Only 1/4 acre this year. I usually plant 1/2 acre.

    Hi P. Looked really nice. I almost bought it today! Went for the chilli chicken noodle instead. Maybe the better choice. It was good to see your opinion. Did you know Jamie Cullen plays keyboards like you? Fun, fun, fun. Just can't get enough of it. That's why I shop at Iceland. I think its pricing itself out of the market now. No fun.

      I agree with you Graham about Iceland and their silly prices. I've not been in there for months now. The son is apparently running the company now, so are they just being greedy. Or just repositioning themselves as a rival to M&S and alienating their core customers.

    Hi Papp. Hmmmm... What makes a great Moussaka? 🤔
    Yes the term 'Luxury' seems to be somewhat overused these days. Just because it's a few ingredients different from someone else's doesn't make it luxurious.
    But anyway as ordinary as this was, it wasn't a bin job!
    I've never had a lamb moussaka, only the vegetable and i'm glad you said you'd make your own.
    Use some of that Dona Kebab meat you're so fond of. Dona Moussaka...🤤👍
    You just never know.
    Cheers Papp 😀
    I hope you managed to shift and swift that hangover.
    Smashed it today with the YSA! Always a good day on Tuesdays as it's the last day of the catalogue week, so they move whatever they can on use by / best before dates.
    British Sausage Co's thick pork sausages, $8.50 to $5.32 and 2 packs of the BCS traditional unsmoked back bacon $7.00ea to $2.87ea.
    Great bargains. Something to squeal about!
    Also a Halal whole chicken 1.7kg, $10.68 to $5.32.
    Again another great bargain. Something to cluck about.
