Am all over that, they’re unreal. Better in fact that the cadbury ones.

they are better because they are bigger for starters, and twice as many in the pack!

Any of ye ever been in bed and get an unreal hankering for something? I was in bed there now (it’s 1.15am) and I couldn’t sleep thinking about a nice thick spread of jam on a scone. I’m heading away over the weekend and will be staying in an airbnb job and the woman of the house apparently lashes out a plate of freshly made scones with homemade jam on arrival. I’ve been salivating at the thought of it the last hour and couldn’t sleep so I just went out to the kitchen and spread jam on a very large shop bought scone and I wolfed that bad boy down. I should be able to sleep now.

I’m coming down with a head cold at the minute, so I hit the hay at 10pm last night with a hot toddy. I pushed the whiskey to one side and went to a bottle at the back of the cupboard with the label peeled off - poitin, and Connemara’s finest at that. I didnt spare it either, and went the full hog with a clove-studded slice of lemon. I was comatose by about 10:20.
I woke up at 5:15, and I haven’t stopped eating since. I’ve eaten 2 bowls of muesli, 3 slices of sourdough toast, a banana, an apple, and 2 mugs of tae. I’m still hungry. I’d really fancy a big fruit scone now. Warm out of the oven, with butter, jam and a dollop of freshly whipped cream, but only because you’ve put the idea in my head.
I don’t think I’ve ever stayed awake, or woken during the night, with a very specific craving like you had. I’ve woken and thought “I’m starving. I wonder what do we have to eat downstairs.”
I can’t remember ever lying awake in bed thinking “I’m starving. I’d love a fried egg sandwich”, for example.
The only other person I know that this happened to was Mrs. Moth. She was pregnant at the time, and I used to get unusual (but very specific) food requests at odd hours. The kitchen was always ‘on duty’ for those few months.

I often have an unreal hankering for something while in bed, but not necessarily food related.

It could be prostate-related Fitzy. If you drink less water before bed, does the urge go away. Anyway, it’s all part of getting older I suppose.

Given how hard the general stands to during these hankerings, I don’t think oul prostrate is an issue pal.
Getting back on topic from fitzy’s prostrate massages, a nice slab of chateaubriand about to be seared and roasted on the grill.

It’s terrible to see tinfoil ‘wasted’ on something other than ham sandwiches

Very nice, looks a lot smaller in the last photo but it most be the angle. I don’t normally like the white asparagus but I’m sure it was splendid. Pity you didn’t provide a picture of the carved meat.
That steak looked v nice… [quote=“labane1917, post:1803, topic:22211, full:true”]
Finished product. Served with garlic and lime butter and a mushroom and wine sauce.

It’s was devoured too quickly to take a pic 
Yeah, it’s the shit pic. It was 3 lb, and started out 3 inches thick and ended up about 3.5. The thicker half was very rare, the thinner side rare. White asparagus is a bit bland, but good with the garlic lime butter (isn’t everything).
Strangely enough those eating it voted it 9.5 and 7.5 (the veggies were a bit on the mushy side alright due to neglect, but tasted good), and they would know a bit more about food than a plonker like you.
