Now that is my lifelong fave comfort food - goes back to mum cooking it as a kid. Can't beat it (apart from Steak and kidney pudding and chips)!

My kids fave was pulling a sickie and mum taking me to grandmas for the day. Grandma always made be better with egg and chips, all of which was cooked in the pan on boiling chip fat. Soooo healthy, she lived to 102 so cant have been that bad

I still long for a good traditional German wurst. They're pretty hard to find here in Minnesota and not really that easy to find anywhere in the US for that matter.

A very good choice of food and an evening in front of the television - it is believed the place of origin for the club sandwich was the USA - which would not surprise me if true. If it were to have been a British creation - we would never have called it a club sandwich, it sounds too much like a private members club for high-flyers in the financial banking world.

Late Sunday lunch for today - Wiener Schnitzel (veal cutlets coated in beaten egg, coated in bread crumbs and pan fried golden), steamed potato salad with Sour Kraut and with crisp white wine. For desert, apple strudel (grated cooking apples, lemon zest and juice, sugar, cinnamon and raisins in a baked pastry served with ice cream) - it has been quite sometime since I last made this, it is somewhat of a long winded process, but well worth it.

It is that hot, sweet and spiced filo pastry I enjoy so much, with that wonderful smell of cinnamon and raisins - it is well worth the effort.

Sounds good - we are away in Devon this week, and had pub lunch as well today. I had the best homemade Steak and Kidney pudding ever, fan-tast-ic. Mrs Ralphy and young Miss Ralphy had duck breast in a black cherry and orange sauce - very nice indeed. Washed down with a pint of Cornish Doombar bitter, and Rose wine for the ladies. I love a holiday!

Oh, my! I stumbled into this tasty thread and you just reminded me of haggis, black pudding and a wee dram! Sadly you can't get decent haggis in Sweden, but I can get black pudding and I've got a tiny collection of favourite single malts on the kitchen shelf and some Strongbow in the fridge... <hurrying home to quaff that dram before it escapes>...
