I've bought dark red carrots from Sainsburys in the past.

Thanks Valerie, I used to shop at Sainsbury's at Norwich but I haven't
seen any red ones or if I did, I didn't know what they were. *In

Only 5 hours away from us.

Wot Martin, you are only 5 hours from me? *Come to lunch Sunday G

from Calais. You are so far away you must be in imminent danger of falling off
the edge of the earth. (What's on the menu next Sunday?)

Today we found that the local Lidl stocked real German Bratwurst. The great
famine is coming to an end. The local Lidl also stocked parsnips when we had an
abundance of home grown ones and none now that the home grown ones are all
finished.

I am going to take a look at Lidl at Issoire as I cannot get parsnips
for love or money here. What's for lunch Sunday? How about Escargot,
followed by Calves liver cut into ribbons, sauteed in butter and
thrown on top of a green salad with hot croutons and lardons? St.
Nectaire for cheese and then fresh fruit? What time will you be here
and how many are coming as I may have to kill the fatted calf G
