h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

You've made me hungry.
Great article - I look forward to reading the others.

Thanks BB
Just finished the Sherry trifle one!
The hardest part is tracking down the history! The recipes are easy because ever since I can remember my Mum encouraged ME to prepare it all... she said I was better at it then she was, but I suspect that it gave her a break!

Peregrin & I have often made mince pies at Christmas....
...but then he goes and eats them

<BB<

That's what they're for isn't it?

Did you use flakey, puff or shortcrust pastry?

shazz

They're there for me to eat!
As for Pastry, we make our own out of what we can find in the house and hope for the best.

Well that doesn't help me a lot!
I bet they were a dingy grey colour when you finished eh?

shazz

I don't know, I'm colour-blind.
We could ask Peregrin for more information - he dealt with the pastry side, I did the mincemeat.

Just finished doing it as it happens!

Just some coding and subbing styles to check up on!

Fair enough.
I'll have a read
I *would* have had my "Putting H2G2 On The Map" article on now, but I grabbed the wrong disk....
But when I bring the right disk to the computer room, it will be at:

Excellent

I am confused/confuddled!
I have just checked with a few previous edited recipes and most of them stick purely to the good old-fashioned pounds and ounces. I was trying to find the correct format for putting alternatives but have failed miserably so far!
Oh well... no doubt Chris will put me right eventually!
