Madam, – What were you thinking, publishing that posh recipe for macaroni cheese by Domini Kemp in Saturday’s paper, with 14 ingredients, including wine (Home News, November 6th)?
I dug out my old copy of All in the Cooking, which has only seven basic ingredients in its recipe for macaroni cheese. They are macaroni, cheese, flour, butter, milk, mustard and salt. I made it today and it was delicious. – Yours, etc,
Madam, – Cheeses, Mary and Joseph, what next? – Yours, etc,
Madam, – May I suggest the Government offer free turkeys? There is a well-known establishment in Kildare Street which is full of turkeys that could be used in a similar scheme. While there would not be one for everyone, such a cull would, in effect, offer a bonus to the whole population. And there would be no need to wait for them to get fat as they have been fattening themselves up for years. However, recipients should be warned that, like the pronouncements which emanate from the Dáil, the turkey may be very difficult to swallow. – Yours, etc,
Madam, – I suppose access to the wine lake is out of the question? – Yours, etc,
Madam, – In Donegal it is well known that free cheese is found only in a mousetrap. – Yours, etc,
Madam, – Níl Brie leis. – Yours, etc,
