No they were definitely the real thing Mick.
In fact I learned a lot about cooking today.
It was also nice to see my boy enjoying the company of his sister, something that unfortunately is quite rare these days because of course they all disappear off to college at different ends of the country.
Great for education, but sadly it's what has led to the splitting up of families, neglect of the elderly, and quite possibly the lack of community spirit these days.
Oh well, mustn't go back back to grumpy old man mode. It's been a lovely day.
