By now I’m sure we’re all aware of the pastry recall. It seems to affect all ready-made, both the “own-brands” and Jusrol too, which is a bit of a nuisance to be honest. Two other P’s are Platinum Pudding and, as you might have guessed, I intend to enter the competition. The trouble is that my plans so far involve puff pastry. Of course I could make some, but how likely is that to appeal to the competition judges? I need to have a rethink. There have been a few inventions to commemorate celebrations in the past – Victoria Sandwich, Coronation Chicken and Queen of puddings spring to mind. The entry form for the competition is on the Fortnum and Mason website and asks for information about inspiration….currently I’m struggling, but will keep you posted !
