Well first you boil the ham in the coca cola which turns the outside meat a nice dark brownish colour...it's pink inside don't worry. Then you remove from the coke, sit in a roasting dish, peel off the skin, score the fat and paint the whole joint over with a bit of black treacle in hot water and bake for about 20 mins til sticky and sizzly. Lovely hot or cold. And yes, very juicy!

My mum always stuck cloves in the ham. I've never bothered! But now there's only me I rarely cook a bit of ham as I can't get through it all, mini twass doesn't eat meat. I could give most of it to my son and DIL I guess.

Well it's about time you scoffed whatever you fancy. Bollox to those who said you could only live on fresh air and radishes or whatever nonsense they suggested. As An and tk always say nutrition is important in any recovery or health improvement.

i never could understand people who have no interest in food it's such a sensual pleasure surely people care about what they put in their mouth?

I do know folks who have little interest in food, they say it's just like putting petrol in the tank, a necessity. They tend to eat the same few things over and over. I find that very weird
I love my grub! I'll never be thin

Indeed, all living things should be programmed to seek the best food and eat as much of it as possible. That's survival!!

On that note, I shall leave a large bread and butter pudding in the chinproof safe, and say farewell for now. Mini twass will arrive tomorrow night for the weekend but I daresay I will sneak on the internet from time to time while she's off titivating, on the phone to the BF etc...
