Just as in Britain, each had two sequels. Robin's Nest - Robin opened a restaurant - and the same for Jack Tripper except I can't remember the title....and both had The Ropers (landlords) in their own spin offs. Robin's Nest featured the David Kelly "Waking Ned Devine" as a one-armed dishwasher....first time I ever heard the words 'courgettes" and "aubergines" and I wondered what wonderful exotic foods were those...such a let down when I found out they were zucchini and eggplant.GSGreatEscaperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03362042499522934670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-72819536173674491232013-02-19T19:13:37.241-08:002013-02-19T19:13:37.241-08:00Yes, but Bobby (as we refer to him) is usually wea...Yes, but Bobby (as we refer to him) is usually wearing a crown.

A lot of SMASH was involved - which is powdered mashed potato in case you don't get that in your part of the world. My favourite dish was the gammon topped with a pineapple ring with a cherry in the middle.<br /><br />http://www.silverscreensuppers.com/richard-osullivan/richard-osullivans-seven-day-survival-course<br /><br />JxLya de Puttihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02814399884635533546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-50498700910448750672013-02-18T15:14:42.523-08:002013-02-18T15:14:42.523-08:00It was the "any scraps of cooked meat" t...It was the "any scraps of cooked meat" that disturbed me a little bit.

To me, this looks like a "something smells weird in the fridge...let's see what's still good" recipe. That there is a bachelor's meal, Richard!

Genius. As we are currently embroiled in a horsemeat scandal here in the UK this is very timely. First they were telling us that some processed food products had traces of horsemeat and now it's escalated. It was revealed recently that the meat content of that good old-fashioned freezer staple "Findus Beef Lasagna" is in fact 100% horsemeat.
