If you’re in Edinburgh maybe Valvona and Crolla???

I get it from a stall in Borough Market in Southwark.

Absolutely!!! Factory made stuff is not the real McCoy at all.

You can add some flavours and even chocolate to get some great varieties but you have to be very quick to do it right at the end when its ready to pour.

I got 200g for £10.

100g is easily enough for carbonara for 2 people. It’s very tasty.

Butterscotch Angel Delight, McVitie's ginger cake, sliced banana.

Mrs Smartie has made it for me a few times and it is delicious, I just remembered to ask her for the "recipe" tonight as I was never entirely sure what it was.

I've often thought that a food truck selling stovies would make a fortune at big events where there are normally only overpriced L & A burgers available.

Had stovies at an Edinburgh v Glasgow game at Murrayfield.

It was just that, a vendor selling stovies. They were making a killing.

Love my Mums stovies. She’s been serving it to my kids now and they love it too.

Anyone got a recipe for proper Chinese curry sauce? Choking on some good curry sauce on my rice or chips, nothing even close this side of the pond.

It’s not exactly like the stuff from a take away (and the ingredients are probably nothing like what goes in a Chinese curry) but the curry sauce from the Lean in 15 Katsu Curry recipe tastes similar...

I'll keep that bookmarked for a few months time. I had a look through 'the silver spoon' and couldn't find a recipe listed for this, was a bit surprised as it seems to have about everything else. Well worth getting a copy if you enjoy Italian food.

We do a chorizo pasta dish which is delicious. Wouldn’t say it’s Italian though, especially as it has whisky in it.

Could you use nduja sausage instead of chorizo?

Chorizo or Italian sausage is probably better in that recipe. I love nduja though and have some in the fridge just now.

Fry off some chorizo in a pan (dry fry, the chorizo will release lots of oil).

Once the oil has released, add in finely chopped onion and some crushed garlic and fry.

Add in either baby mushrooms (halved) or closed cup mushrooms quartered.

Pour in a splash of whisky. Set it alight if desired. In any case cook of the alcohol.

Add in a touch of either tomato purée or ketchup (we normally used ketchup) and some thyme.

Serve through some penne pasta.

I’ve also done a variation where you put in cream (don’t put in the tomato purée/ketchup or thyme).

I like the sound of that. Whenever I make pizzas I always run out of mozzarella before the dough and sauce, so finish off by making a couple marinaras. Nduja and red onion sounds a good alternative to try.

I love a pizza with cheese but a marinara pizza without cheese is also brilliant. Light and simple.
