Pretty good, but better still to cook your roast potatoes in.

This talk of food has made me hungry, so am off to do some Bacon & Eggs. Eggs are from my ladies in the garden. Madge (a Rhode Rock) had gone broody but is back in lay again, I'm pleased to say. She lays huge, brown eggs, with very large yolks. Yum, yum.

It'd probably be good on bread, failing that it'd be great for roast spuds!

Settled for the quick & easy option first. Had it on fresh, crusty bread ... HEAVEN!!! (Still got some for the praties - I specialise in having my cake and eating it too.)

I'm not sure I'd put it in cake.
