The Grain and the Grape
pzu,
I remember Wjnterscladens well (on the corner down by the station). We would get a few "top-up" supplies from them, but all our regular dealings were with Harveys: we had been with them so long and they had treated us so well.
Yes, I suppose the idea of a thin potato soup as a "basic stock" in an hotel or restaurant would make good sense - you could turn it into almost anything with a bit of ingenuity !
As a matter of fact, I find the flavour of Heinz "Mulligatawny" Soup the nearest thing on the shop shelf today to the curries I ate in the subcontinent 70 yesrs ago.......D.
aw ditor.
I'ts good to know that Madeira has not been consighed to the history books - I grew quite to like the stuff. And I'd bet that Union Jack could enlarge on the story of "HMS Funchal" !..........D.
Union Jack,
Great Minds think alike ! I'ts "over to you" for HMS Funchal .......D
Regards to you all,
Danny.
