    You're quite right, of course.

        Perhaps brother cloughie doesn't want to feel the love, or maybe he is not a Mason?
        As we seem to be able to talk amongst ourselves, tonight, following on from the cod v pollock debate is Smithfields Market, and I defy anyone watching who is wavering about becoming a vegetarian not to take the fruit and nut route. I have salmon again, with samphire. OMG, samphire was once the poor mans asparagus, now the on-dit is that it is your foraged weed of choice!

        Cheers subs, I'll check out our local library, it's very small but they do have computers.

          Samphire is really great, not only with fish but have you tried it with roast lamb, particularly if the lamb has grazed on salt-marshes.

              Ah. cloughie, now you are talking, tender, pink, lamb tasting of herbs and salt ..... almost as good as a Cornish Pasty!! I used to go to St. Just regularly, one of the pasties from the bakers would sustain me a whole day as I tramped along the cliffs (no sniggering at the back) but can you get a decent one outside of Cornwall? I fear not, and as for Ginsters - words fail, that is no more a Cornish Pasty than I am a Pisky! Edit: And Greggs and even Waitrose hand-crimped ..... actually words fail me because their pasties wouldn't know a hand-crimped if it grabbed them unexpectedly.

                        This has been up for two hours and not a single bite. I will give it another hour, and if nothing happens I will give the answer and someone can take on F.

                        I hope that's alright.

                          Don't give us the answer yet, Beefy - tempt us with clues

                          Is the E musical?

                            ok, clues. A word that begins with E links all three of these.

                              Noooooooo, you mustn't give away the answer, Beefy. By all means pop in a hint but don't spill the beans. We come and go. I have just logged on having been side-tracked by BBC4's excellent programme on Pugin. Be patient, I'll 'ave a think
