He is a trained chef of forty years standing, or so he tells me, and I do not have that discipline so we have a method of cooking.

My chuck and dollop pastry is usually pretty good but, if I try to put it in a pie dish or construct a pasty with it it looks like it was made of Play Dough in some special needs pre-school for extremely clumsy children. His pies look professional, as they should.

My ingredients, un-constricted by any thought of discipline or theory of flavour combinations, always taste better than his.

So, I make the stuff and he builds the end product and it usually works.

The one thing that is bothering me at the moment is whether it is legal or even entirely natural for him to have made this 'ere cheese and onion flan that I am currently wrapping my laughing tackle round without putting slices of tomato on top!

Special needs children can be very creative.

Ah yes, but these have the special need of being extremely clumsy, they couldn't create anything.

I was RR'd for posting 'special needs'. Just saying. Sad isn't it.
Post was reinstated of course but 'they walk among us'

Professor John Fines, a leading educationist, considered any child who did not have fit the standard educational average to have special needs. Those who were gifted hr considered to be special needs because they needed something special in the way of education.

If I am RR'd for this I may consider not posting any more because I am pretty sick of people not reading what is written but looking especially for offence.

That's the beauty of quiches aka flans. Anything goes and it doesn't really matter :-)

You won't catch us making a quiche. That really is an unnatural act!
