Mellor's vanilla slices were one of humanity's finest achievements.

When the youngest wants pancakes I use some vanilla essence & nutmeg in my mix which is n oz flour and an egg, milk and more water, mum made fatter ones with 2oz flour and 2 eggs. None of us can do her old Yorkshire puddings though. 02-06-2024, 01:17 PM in response to #50418 Leeds Sandgrounder Wrote: Mellor's vanilla slices were one of humanity's finest achievements. Totally agree, cakes from Mellor and fish and chips from the Swan are lovely memories from my first visit to meet the wife's fami'y in 69 In those days the bandstand still existed on Lord Street. So much has changed since then. 02-06-2024, 01:22 PM in response to #50427 Birddog Wrote: Totally agree, cakes from Mellor and fish and chips from the Swan are lovely memories from my first visit to meet the wife's fami'y in 69 In those days the bandstand still existed on Lord Street. So much has changed since then. The Swan and the bandstand are still going strong - Mellor got taken over by another firm ages ago. The place does seem to be picking up a bit now, having slightly gone to shit over the last decade or so - shame about the pier though. 02-06-2024, 03:11 PM in response to #50432
Remember the original bandstand was replaced by a brutalist concrete fountain in the 70s my wife and her family called it the pillbox. Last time we, were back in 2022 we enjoyed a meal at the Swan.

Been camping. Don't bother asking. No, it was alright, thanks for asking.
Once we got home I had to go out immediately. Shopping. And then to go to the pub. ON MY OWN THANKS. Some sartorially elegant bloke has just asked me if I used beard oil. I said, well funnily enough I do but not today as I got up for a piss last night and ended up with beard oil all over my leg. So, no not today. 02-06-2024, 06:51 PM in response to #50498 Bullsgold Wrote: Been camping. Don't bother asking. No, it was alright, thanks for asking.
