@WtnMel I worked in accounts for Unigate in Torquay. But we had a factory at Totnes which i would visit at times. I think I also visited another factory in Birmingham. There was always some confusion about which bits of the business was St Ivel and which was Unigate.

Geordiegirl - have a good journey home. Sounds like you had a great holiday.

@geordie bells I could also have a problem with coconut cream - the sort that comes in blocks - because it’s too easy to just eat it. I may have polished off the odd block or two in my time.

But at the moment there is a block and a half in my cupboard, unmolested, for use in curries.

@Shades - I was based in Trowbridge and the only trip out I remember was to a factory at Evercreech (nr. Shepton Mallet). I think I was dragged along to give the illusion the 'jolly boys' day out was anything other than a chance to get out of the office and bump up the monthly mileage expense claim.

@RevBarbaraG - I must have lived a quiet life as I've never heard of blocks of coconut cream.

I’ve only ever used coconut cream in curries never tried just eating it and sounds like I shouldn’t 🤣

My biggest guilty pleasure is mayonnaise, I missed it while I was away.

@WtnMel Trowbridge was St Ivel's head office, I think?

I didn't know coconut cream blocks existed either. I'm not keen on coconut, except I will eat fresh coconut. Never use coconut anything in cooking. I prefer tomato based curries.

I def favour a coconut creamy sauce but we do do a few tomato based curries too.

I am not bothered by sweet stuff thankfully, but could happily eat crisps most days. I limit what I have.

My curries have tomato AND coconut cream, and ground almonds as well. Trying to get it thick without adding cornflour.

I think about what ingredients you find in curries in restaurants and fling them in.

Got something to say?
