Ricks' Ramblings

[Rick Lowe]

Options and Priorities are allowed to differ... it's what stops the scariness of us all being the same...   

Commando, Warlord and Battle Action in my Yoof... later, Sisters' 2000AD.

[zenrat]

In my case it was Look and Learn (I read Trigan Empire then skimmed the rest), Battle Action, 2000AD, Deadline, and occasionally Heavy Metal when I could afford it.

[Rheged]

In my case the whole sequence of Robin, Swift and Eagle (little sister got Girl for a while, then scrounged my Eagle)  and occasional Look and Learn.

[Gondor]

Then I'd read the newspaper comics - Ginger Meggs, Andy Capp, etc. - before doing the crosswords ... This was where I met Garfield, Calvin & Hobbs & Footrot Flats in later years.

That's something for me to do over the holidays, dig out my Footrot Flats books and re-read them.

The shop down the road from us used to make their own pics and id sell my sisters soul for another one of their steak and cheese or steak and mushroom pies but apparently you can sell it twice .

Steak and cheese ? Not a combination I'd considered nor even heard of until a recent episode of "Brokenwood" when they were arguing over which was the best pie filling    Steak and mushroom, steak and onion or steak and kidney for me

Now this makes me wonder who or where steak n cheese came from because we've had em here as long as I've been breathing...the mushroom..kidney and pepper steak pies have been there too .
Steak and onion ..can't honestly say I've seen one here in a bakery ..normally we have fried onions with steak in a dinner ...fried onions...taste so good and sweet 😋 😍

One time I was in London and had some steak and ale pie at a pub. Excellent!

[zenrat]

Steak, cheese and bacon pie for me please.

Yup 

[Old Wombat]

Steak, cheese and bacon pie for me please.

This or pepper steak pie.

[Rheged]

A great deal depends on your butcher and his sources of supply.   Our village has a first rate chap who uses locally reared Hereford beef to produce steak and  (locally brewed) ale, steak and mushroom and snake and pygmy  sorry, steak and kidney pies.    On the other hand, a pub in Birmingham did manage to serve a friend of mine an  "unidentifiable gristle and over-salty, anaemic  gravy"   pie last week.

That said, there are some unexpected items to which an appropriate cheese is a good partner.........apple pie, smoked salmon,  Christmas cake  etc.   Further suggestions welcome.

[kerick]

Apple pie and ice cream if you please!

[Rick Lowe]

Yep, Look and Learn for me. too. Trigan Empire and the WW1 RFC series.

And I haven't heard 'Snake & Pigmy pie' for a while. Thanks for the nostalgia.

[Wardukw]

Chicken and sweet potato pie..epic good 😋

As for deserts ..there's a couple 
Hot apple and blackberry pie with French vanilla ice cream.
Hot xmas pudding with runny custard 😁

You have to stop throwing dessert tips around like this! My cancer medication meddles with my insulin values, so I shouldn't really have any dessert at all, but that is NOT getting any easier around you lot!
