Sunflower seed Granary bread, onions, butternut squash, parsnip, mixed fresh herbs and S&P.

Sorry about the lack of wipe situation!

As the keen eyes amongst you have already spotted, Souperman and his beautiful side kicker, Shazam, went mobile again due to the snow and ice. We were warm.

SOUP OF THE WEEK - SPICY SPROUT AND CELERY

Onion, celery, sweet spud, sprouts, salt, pepper and Korma spices.

A wholesome, warming concoction that has hints of a curry!

The Parmigiana and sun dried tom bread was lovely but we should have had Nan bread instead.
Mave said - Is it nameless. It's like a curried soup"
Owen said - It's Korm again soup!
Shazam said - Be careful, it's hot!
