Water



M&S water.


The one on the right...£1.00 for a litre.


The one on the left...43p for a litre and a half.


And guess what...they hide the big bottles at the back of the shop.

Kippers


Smokery 2.1 was road-tested this week - a pair of lovely herrings from Johnny Swan's in Hastings were brined for a few minutes then cold smoked for 6 hours.

A profligate use of apple shavings, but it had to be tested...and tasted.



Probably slightly over-brined and under-smoked, but the process works - most satisfying.




A few minutes under a medium-hot grill and there it was, a plate of Rye Bay Kippers
