andyofborg   11 #3 Posted August 21, 2020 clearly a very strange bloke, does he post on here? he'd fit right in lol  not sure why they need a freezer for chocolate fondant, they aren't hard to make, especially with a bit of practice and there are easier alternative recipies around. I guess it's all chef mike these days  https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/feb/10/how-cook-perfect-chocolate-fondants    Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

BEAAAAAAR!"  But don't we love an eccentric in this country? Remember the temporary bridge dispute a few years ago in Tadcaster, when the old bridge was washed away in the floods?  Just Google his name & check out his available Twitter feed. There are some great comments on how he views his customer base & life in general.  He'd also fit right in posting on SF.  Edited August 22, 2020 by Baron99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
