Good luck but I'd not scrap the spuds :) You know what. I've now decided I'm going to have sausage, mash, puds and gravy for my tea. I'll take a photo of my puddings later. I'm going to go for carrots and marrowfat peas for the veg. I'm a salad dodger :)
Beautiful butchers quality sausages sauces from the finest pigs in the land.
Creamy mashed potato with a light sprinkling of cracked black pepper.
Homemade Yorkshire puddings the size of sky scrappers, full of gravy.
Dressed off with peas and cabbage...
