My brother and I decided to work all night, and return the rented van by 9 am so as not to incur another day's charges. We were up all night humping furniture/boxes/black bags and returned the van about 08:30 then we decided to 'reward' ourselves with a pint at a pub[1] with weird opening hours (6 am I believe, to allow for shift workers) was quite a funny feeling to be sitting in a pub[1] drinking a pint at 9am. [1] Spit and sawdust old man's boozer, not a wine bar type pub.

monzac	664026.  Sat Jan 30, 2010 4:19 pm Must say this gingerbread's jolly good. Not too much for breakfast. Oh, and the stilton! Mmmmmm. Sage Derby :D. It's years since I've had that. I don't think I'm going to move from the cheese board all day.
Spud McLaren	664035.  Sat Jan 30, 2010 4:38 pm The Stilton's direct from the village where it's made, so it should be good quality... Well, that's just a figure of speech. It definitely is good.

zomgmouse	664072.  Sat Jan 30, 2010 6:33 pm Gingerbread! Why didn't anybody say anything? Does anybody have any Torun gingerbread? With jam inside? Mmm...
Bondee	664288.  Sun Jan 31, 2010 9:27 am Torun gingerbread is the best in't world! One of my workmates brings me a box whenever he goes back to visit his family.

I know, they don't always - but that's the sort I mainly see here. The wiki page gives two interesting varieties: * Devorative Gingerbread * Gingerbread monuments
monzac	664608.  Mon Feb 01, 2010 3:22 am I've only had toruń gingerbread with chocolate :( What I'd really fancy are some homemade speculaas... 'yorz? Not the crumby commercial type, but solid, strongly spiced ones... mmmm...

I'm definitely in for that, if it could be arranged I'm assuming 'speculaas' are not the same as the plural of speculum, as in the medical instrument used to examine inside body cavities.....
Spud McLaren	666149.  Wed Feb 03, 2010 6:21 pm Well, if they're sweet & crumbly(ish)...

Spud McLaren	666661.  Thu Feb 04, 2010 7:16 pm I went to Buxton today. Not very exotic, but if anyone wants to refresh the palate I have some of the bottled spring water from they parts (still and sparkling).
