<p>Okay, just disowned my bro over this one. we got on talking about what we used to eat at home and touched on banana sanwiches. (Which i still luv.) Now as far as I'm concerned there is only one way to eat a 'nana sandwich. You get a slice of bread, squash banana onto it, then fold it over until the banana is oozing out the sides, then you eat it.</p><p>But my bro says he puts...ugh....sugar on his...puke, vomit...but worse still margarine...aargh! What a wimp; what a culinary crime. Please tell me others don't do this.</p>

<p><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">Anybody ever Heard the word 'collops'? There's a very popular, every-day dish here called 'kalops'. It's a kind of beef stew flavoured with Alspice (whole peppercorns only) and Bay-leaves. It usually contains carrots and leeks but these can be omitted. I learned a few Days ago that the Word </span><em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">kalops </span></em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">originates from the English Word </span><em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">collops</span></em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">. When I started researching it I found that the Word </span><em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">collops </span></em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">may originate from the french </span><em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">'escalope' </span></em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">meaning slice of meat. I also learned that the Word </span><em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">collops </span></em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">was in common use up until the mid 16th Century when it was the generally accepted name for bacon and eggs! However, Another source gives the origin as Scandinavian. In that case it's gone full circle. I personally have never Heard the Word </span><em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">collops </span></em><span style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode', 'lucida grande', sans-serif;">in England, though I've eaten my fair share of stews and bacon &amp; egg. Has anybody Heard of collops, and if so what was it?</span></p>

Just put it in a ceramic pudding basin and cover the top with greased foil tie string around it leaving room for the pud to expand at the top.  put in slow cooker with 2 inches of water in the bottom. takes 4 hours or can be left longer, so you can switch on and go to work knowing it will be ready for you getting in.</p>

<p>As I have noticed the shop at Boumersund mentioned in the 'ham sandwich' debate as being the best place for fresh  bread, thought you all might like to know the same people - Tino and Jackie - have just opened Tinos deli on Bedlington front street and you can get the freshly made bread there. Directly opposite the 'church apartments' that are next to council offices. (used to be the hearing aid shop!)</p>
