You might be forgiven for thinking that the person on the right is Stanley Baxter, but it is in fact Zena Skinner. Zena Skinner was a tv cook, and she was contemporary with the early days of Granny Fadock. I used to enjoy watching Zena because she was quite ordinary, and neither snooty nor bossy like Fenny Creddock. I don't remember anything she made, though, but I'm sure it must have been interesting by 1960s standards. It was probably 'fab'.
I want to write something rather lighter than my last two postings, so I'm going to write about food. What I am about to write is so simple, so ordinary, that I hope I'm not going to bore the pants off you.
I have just experienced a level of luxury that I haven't seen in this neck of the woods for many a while. My early lunch was Cabrales, ploughman's chutney, grilled artichokes out of a bottle, and poppy seed biscuits. DEE-FUCKIN-LICIOUS!!! I'm just about to have a fag for afters. I'm making myself slobber as I think of what I've just had.
