'Black' bread. The bread our neighbours in Malta ate. I was only 3 or 4, but I loved it. |

No matter how hard I try, I have never been able to make a cheese jaffle/toastie like one particular lady used to make in Cole’s New World, Frankston - a bit like Woolies with a cafe, but other Cole’s branches were large and used to sell groceries too. |

I suppose it could be that with health etc regs ingredients have changed over the years, less salt, sugar and other things, different fat for cooking, or even no fat. That together with time changing memories. Never mind the search may be enjoyable. |

Maggie, if you google Maltese bread there are lots of options, including recipes. The pictures are all of fairly light-coloured loaves though. |

I had baked avocado with a light cheese sauce in a Notting Hill restaurant decades ago. It was delicious. Suffice to say, haven't seen or heard mention of it since :-( |

My spud. As far as I remember it was just everything coming together, like that Gister's egg sandwich I bought that time I was hungry. The spud was baked with a nice baked skin and the egg was just the right texture with the balance of egg to salad cream just perfect, it was salad cream as I recall and I think it might have been proper Heinz and now I want one!!!!!! |

Sharron, perhaps they coated the potato’s skin with butter before baking it? |

Or oil. It was properly baked, as I recall.They have special ovens for that don't they? |

My Gran made amazing shortcrust pastry. All my cousins, aunties etc. agree that her mince pies were the best. I haven't tasted any better <3 |

All I seem to want now is the Lyons apple pie or something equally sweet and fruity. |

Apricot pie! OMG, I so need one NOW!!!!! |

If you want to raise the bar to OMG....... Wasabi peas! Taste one and it nearly blows your head off. When that's gone down you need to have another because you can't believe that happened and so it goes on until the bag is empty. |

SheilaWestWilts. My Mum's pastry was the talk of the family, her sausage rolls and mincepies were always requested for family get togethers. |
