(Are you packing???)
I love Col’s answer to that 🙂 Not even remotely thinking about packing yet! Tuesday afternoon will be the first time I look at the suitcase 🙂
Very impressive! I wouldn’t have known the Italian breads, nor the ingredient which makes chillis burn… nor that aubergines were fruit. I also wouldn’t know what a Chinese artichoke looked like. Ahh! just googled them – I always wondered what those things (crosne) were in the shops! Now I know.Thank you!
My pleasure! I love these quizzes 🙂
You are amazing! I didn’t know half the answers (well, I knew those on Italian cooking… :P)
Thanks, I was way wrong on the amount of milk needed though 🙂
