Sounds Jane Austen-y! Had to Google and didn’t have the attention to understand it Is it something like a danish?

Last thing I had was cinnamon toast and tea. Hungry for lunch but don’t know what to make as yesterday I ate the pasta which was written on the meal planner for today’s lunch spot!

@Rose White It's soft buttery pastry wrapped round raisins and tucked underneath. I love them. Think this is a Spanish website, but it has pictures of the ones I get.

Volviendo de Newcastle a Barcelona, paramos en un área de servicio a descansar a unos 200 kms de Londres y compré una bolsa de estos pastelitos pese a lo del «Containing pure butter». Me parecieron…

No! Like almost all good English recipes, Its something stuffed. Currants, candied orange and lemon peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, rum, in a simple pastry crust.

Haven't had them for a long time....grandma Lancaster used to make them.....

I’m going to remember this! The essence of English cookery!

Beef short ribs except not in short rib form. I only buy cuts of beef when they are on manager’s special for imminent expiration so it’s a grab bag. And when the cut is anything other than steaks (like a roast or these short ribs) I cut the meat off the bone, remove as much fat and fascia as possible (save that for rendering), then cube and freeze.

Daughter prefers only salt on beef so I just cooked up those chunks with sea salt. We each ate with a toothpick, spearing the chunks. The meat was surprisingly tender and unsurprisingly fatty, ‘cause ribs. I think cutting the fascia off helped with tenderness.

Anyway!!! It’s a little extra work but if you like tacos and burritos I recommend it!

Had grapefruit juice with mine.
