What are you eating at Easter?

Marianne72

Having little energy, I'm going to make tiffin for Easter - an easy, no bake fridge cake. As it contains chocolate and biscuits [ginger nuts are very nice in this] I'm going to try not buying easter eggs. I'm hoping to freeze some of the chicken pie I baked today [exhausted after all the work!] and might have that with roasties and broad beans.

Incidentally, does anyone know why the latter seem to have disappeared from the supermarkets? And you never see them or peas in the pod in supermarkets. I must find my nearest farmer's market.

  • Tiffin sounds like a good choice to save energy.

    I will probably have a lamb dish and something with lemon afterwards. What that might be has yet to be planned, perhaps a lemon trifle. 

    There was a shortage of fresh peas and broad beans last year due to the dry spring and hot June. The weather in the UK can be either too hot and dry or too wet for broad beans and peas.

    Did you see the St Clements trifle invented for the Queens Jubilee a few years ago, it looked lovely, an orange and lemon trifle

    I saw it, downloaded the recipe and deleted it only a week ago because I couldn’t possibly manage all the ingredients and stages required to make it. My friend is an excellent baker and even she thought it was all a bit too much hassle. If she made it she would substitute some of the ingredients. 

    I do agree it looked gorgeous and I would like it at Easter.
