Greetings from Germany!
Getting that message about hackers inspired me to come back and say hello!
I haven’t been on
any message boards at all for months. Mostly because of that (what Kay so appropriately calls) four letter word - “work”.
This seemed like the right thread to come back on…
I discovered be BE during a bout of homesickness. It was autumn, it was cold and I had wicked craving for beef stew and suet dumplings. You can’t get Atora anywhere here where I live so I googled “recipe suet dumplings”. BE is the second entry.
The first thing I read was this:
“It's mid afternoon and the sky is dark grey. The rain hasn't let up, and it's cold as well as miserable. Fancy a salad, anyone? No way! Let's have some good old British stodge."
Lovely!!!!!!!!!!! Just what I was looking for!
I couldn’t get kidney fat - not something Germans are into apparently. Most went UGH when I asked for it. So I tried the veggie version with butter. It was brilliant and my German friends liked it too (after pulling a face first

).
I visited the main website on and off for about a year before I discovered the forum.
And here I am back again!
I’m looking forward to catching up and hope I can be around more than I was /could be till now. I’ll definitely be checking out the new stuff – especially the music and movie boards. And of course – the recipes!
Bis bald…
