8) 8) 8)

What I've picked up from this thread, tho, is the paucity of 'proper' shops on the IOW? Now! I never knew that, there again, I've never visited the IOW :-\

How fortunate we are in B'ham having the Bull Ring fruit&veg Open Market & the indoor fish'n'meat one 8) - everything to cater for all races, from exotic stuff to just plain ordinary. Not too much I love about Birmingham, but the food choices.....wonderful 8) ;D

That's one reason why I live here. I spent years in Cornwall, and unless it's changed drastically, there's very little 'interesting' food avaliable down there either. You need the diversity, otherwise you get the bog-standard, utterly boring English stuff, and very little else. Every time we've been on holiday in Cornwall, we've taken food for the entire trip with us.

ooo conversation number 3 / 4 !! Love it. and agree with you Hyacinth and Robert, I caouldn't live without diversity of food (and people!)

Don't forget the Tarts. ;)

Now, now, there's no need to insult the good ladies of the town!

No that's Bakewell....  ;D

I suppose they could go into the batter for the fish.

Personally, I think it is 'oven chips' and frozen chips which should be banned. Only ones made with fresh potatoes taste right.
