The second picture was timely as we had roast suckling pig at my niece’s wedding on Saturday at the St John Restaurant in St John Street. Delicious! The Gentle Author has written about their famous eccles cakes and doughuts, which were also served at the reception.

As I am a food historian and hearth cook, I thoroughly enjoyed the post. I have actually made the walnuts. I enjoy all your emails.
