Strange for someone from the far right to be interested in other countries.

last visit: 15.05.08 		Shaz....How the heck do you get organic MARGARINE (use butter?)..and IS there Organic CASTER sugar? (used unrefined cane sugar)

..and is tap water 'organic' with all the treatments it gets, or should you be using bottled spring water..better still, boiled river water, thats organic!

..and as saffron is the stamens (?) of the saffron crocus flower, laboriously picked by near slave labour, yet sold at gold level prices, should we be buying it at all?

last visit: 28.04.07 		Of course your right Coady didn't think, I so wanted to get a Cornish recipe translated, is saffron cake actually traditional?

You can get organic just about anything, didn't know about the saffron.

Margarine is really plactic, and we don't eat much dairy, maybe butter once a year or so, the milk marketing board, another bloody con...

last visit: 15.05.08 		Get local made butter from organic herds, Shaz..its around. Its contents are...."Butter and salt." (You might even be able to get unsalted) I suspect a little bit of organic butter might be less harmful than the hundreds of additives in the various 'margarines'

Saffern Cake was being made with organic ingredients in the old days..because you could only GRT organic ingredients, there was nothing else!

...and your cake will taste nicer with butter.

last visit: 28.04.07 		:idea: I went of on an idea about making a Cornish cookbook written in the language with lots of nice pics, not sure really, It seems quite easy to read recipes in Cornish, and understand them in english (if you know what I mean)

last visit: 27.03.08 		Not sure what you're asking, Shaz. I think you'll find sugra has been in use in Cornish for quite a while.

Ultimately, margarine isn't "English" either, and sugar is from Sanskrit.
