banoffi pie

I just found out that banoffi pie was created by Ian Dowding and Nigel Mackenzie, in 1972.

Dowding is quoted as saying that one of his pet hates is banoffi pie with biscuit bases.

Here's the link to the original recipe:

Asparagus

I asked the woman at the asparagus stall why the thick asparagus shoots were pricier than the thin. She said that it was all down to customers preferring them.

Demand.

On Sunday we'll have half a kilo of medium sized asp. with beenham.
