    I've had a request from the glw.

    Boiled gammon with parsley sauce. :gulp: (She's English, you know.)

    I have a lump of gammon. Do I just... boil it?

    Parsley sauce. Can it really just be a bechamel with parsley in it? Really?

    And no, I'm not going to boil the fúcking gammon in the fúcking loft, because the vast numbers of troopers guarding my loft ladder won't let me in with a match.

    Poach it gently with a bouquet garni, carrots, celery an onion, peppercorns, juniper berries, etc and you make the sauce with the resulting liquor and perhaps a dash of cream. Serve with cabbage and a rake of floury boiled spuds.

    Deeeeee-fúcking-licious.

    You're genetically programmed to guzzle boiled bacon and cabbage, you mick peasant. I'll take no instructions from you on the correct boiling of mayte.

    Oh, I'm just a savage for bacon and cabbage!

    I strongly urge you to follow my recipe. Your wife will gasp as you present her with your gammon and give her a liberal serving of white sauce.

    Oh dear. I appear to have turned into Herbert.

    I hope she doesn't mind the green bits in it.

    She wants parsley sauce without green bits in it? I don't know how to break this to you, but I think you may be up against it here with this dinner.

    How about joining the craze of boiling your ham in 2 litres of full fat coke? I have done it and it's quite good actually, you get the sticky sweetness into your ham no doubt.
