Thanks, Fermi  

A bit confused here, a mushroom sarnie is a musrhoom sandwich?
How do you make it?
Does anyone have a pic?

who would of thought a mushroom sarnie could be so interesting! 

Nice to hear what 'sarnies' are called in other parts of the world.

Maggie a mushroom sarnie is exactly that, nothing fancy or a funny name for a local dish, for example 'toad in the hole' which hardly ever contains toads 

Take two slices of white bread and apply a thin coat of butter. 

Then shallow fry the caps of some small closed capped mushrooms in butter until nicely brown.

Place mushrooms on top of one slice of bread, add a little dusting of white pepper, pop the other slice of bread on the top.  Cut in half and serve.

simple, tasty and due to the high fat content something I'm only allowed occasionally as a treat.

If I'm reaaly lucky, it will be served to me in bed with some nice fresh coffee.

I think you might be in luck dear but we must remember to buy the pepper because we have none left

I think my most interesting Christmas was in Tasmania - poor Australians what do they do to celebrate when it gets cold? I thought the Scots only celebrated the New Year! I would simply like a few more gardeners growing alpines for my Christmas list as we start the nursery again.

By coincidence, we had a version of Susan's Mushroom Sarnie for lunch. I make it like this:

Soften a finely chopped onion of a frying pan.
Add sliced mushrooms - a  mixture of varieties, about half a kilo.
When softened, add a glass of white wine, salt, black pepper, a mixture of herbs and simmer to reduce.
Add a glass of cream, simmer to reduce to a sauce-like consistency
Add a knob of butter and stir in chopped blue cheese, 100g approx.
Serve on toasted bread and wash down with the rest of that bottle of wine.

I wish

#2: That all countries were to use the same postcode system.
#3: Seed of Primula Klattii and Meconopsis bella

I have some spare if you need them, I'll never finish them all before the new season starts on them
