  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

British food gets a bad rap, but I discovered Yorkshire Pudding this season and think it's one of the great contributions to world cuisine.

Question for folks from the UK: I don't know what the right flavor profile is for the sausages used in Toad in the Hole. I've used American breakfast sausage and it was good, but what would be closer to the real thing?

Last night I made a delicious roast beef and put up batter to sit overnight. You know what's on the menu today!

When I was living in a children's home, we used to have a cook who used to come in the afternoons to make our evening tea.
She used to make a fabulous toad in the hole. Jokingly, she used to tell me in her Devonshire accent that she had just "been down to get the toads from the cellar".
And yes her Toad in the Hole was the best. Nothing fancy. Just thick plain sausages in a well risen Yorkshire pudding batter - with lashings of onion gravy. A lot of people these days add too much flavour to the dish, but it's the simple onion gravy that completes this dish.
