Unfortunately, though, my grandfather sold the gold medals when he was hard up a long time ago. I will be passing all this stuff on to a local museum soon.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-42434914514791566512014-02-22T16:48:19.927+00:002014-02-22T16:48:19.927+00:00Hi Rosie

It has a nice flavour so I would like to perfect it.

Interesting because I think currants have fallen from favour. They used to be cheaper than raisins so that's what we used as dry fruit when I was a child. Now I never use them - must go and make some squashed flies!<br /><br />Your cake looks delicious eggs notwithstanding.Choclettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00173996730095174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-66023085859398121152010-09-12T18:17:16.520+01:002010-09-12T18:17:16.520+01:00I love the fact that a currant promotion office ev...I love the fact that a currant promotion office ever existed. I think I might doubt such a thing if you didn't have photographic evidence!

LOL!!! If only we could send the smell through the screen ... I love the old cookbook, love collecting them, reading them and baking from them. I haven't done much baking this summer because it was so hot where I live, but I'm looking forward to making a few things.
