It was superb. I had seconds even though I was full after the first serving.
Thank you to @Suzanne rose for the recipe and to @Veggiepatch for cooking it!

My aunty visited today and said to me there is someone on SDC who's name is the same as me Suzanne Rose and how she post some amazing recipes I then told her it's me.

So if my aunt ( who is only 8 years older than me ) reads this she will have a good laugh
