Ask the Person Below You a Question:❓ ?‍♀️ Fifth Thread!

Sorry FC - you did not leave us high and dry. I don’t know how to delete the thread I started

To answer your question:
I try to give presents that I think they will like, but I doubt they were impressed. The only present that was really appreciated, was the Rice Cooker, I gave my daughter.

Are you hoping for a white Christmas ?

That’s okay H! No worries!
Yes, always loving snow. Apparently, where I am (Derby) there is a fair chance?

Favourite carol?
Mine is Holly & the Ivy or We Three Kings

Hello everyone.
Mine is In the bleak Midwinter

I love the ‘made moan’ bit
Just been a bit poorly and ate lots of jell and custard. What is/ was your childhood favourite when I’ll ?

Ground rice pudding. I love the fast, the texture and how easy it is to make. I used to love bread and milk, but it doesn’t taste the same with skimmed milk.

Too good a question for just one answer. What did/do you love to eat when you’re ill?

Taste not fast!

Lentil soup (has to be Heinz) with white bread and butter, and little cubes of cheese

Let’s keep going with it! Favourite under the weather/ comfort food?

Bread and milk. With sugar or honey. Scrumptious.
Tomato soup.

What is your favourite soup?

Heinz tomato

Do you like Christmas pudding?(I can’t stand it)

I can’t stand it either. Who are you having round in Christmas Day?

I’m not having anyone round, I’ll be going to my daughters as usual.
Which time of the year do you like the most?

I think it's a toss up between Spring and Autumn, but on balance the former has a happier note to it because of what we hope is to come.

Have you got diaries/calendars for next year yet?

Ive just sent for a page a day and appointments diaries, they arrive tomorrow.

Is there a particular food or drink that you remember from your childhood that you dont see (much of) now?

I always used to have camp coffee with condensed milk in my grandmothers house. It used to have an Indian servant with a turban serving and officer on the bottle but they changed it because it was considered racist. I believe you can still buy camp coffee.

I remember my Gran drinking Camp coffee.
My most memorable food though was stuffed heart. Yuck!!!
Luckily you don’t see that anymore.

Did you have birthday parties?

Yes I did but if the jelly and ice cream type with games like, Farmers in his den and Oranges and Lemons. Sometimes , as my birthday is mid July we had a picnic.

Do you have brandy butter with Christmas pudding and / or mince pies ? Homemade or bought ?

I make brandy butter for the Xmas pud, sifted icing sugar, butter and generous helpings of brandy simmered in a pan.
