PARMA HAM, SPINACH AND MOZZARELLA PARCELS


i Genuine Parma ham and spinach are bound together by delicious mozzarella cheese and wrapped in delicate filo pastry. The parcels can be thinly sliced to create an appetising addition to a festive buffet or served as a main meal with a fresh crisp salad.


FORGET sausage rolls or cheese on sticks and liven up your fe s t iv e party with Parma Ham, Spinach and Mozzarella Parcels.

AS this is the beginning of a New Year, I have decided to cover a new topic, one that I haven’t written about before, which is probably a shame­ ful admission when you consider that I am talking about a product of our own fair land. I refer, of- course, to English wine. Firstly, can I point out the difference between


English wine and British wine. The former is true wine, made from grapes grown in English vine­ yards, and produced with as much loving care as any. other wine in the world. The latter is made from imported grape must and leaves a lot to be desired, usually flavour, and is actually neither wine nor British.


tling against the odds of the weather, the Euro­ pean Community, (who want to impose laws that would outlaw some of this country’s most successful grape varieties) and the prejudice of the British wine-buying public. We are probably the luckiest country in the world when it comes to choice, and

“WHAT kind of woman abandons her child and then kills herself?” I overheard an a u d i e n c e memb e r ask another at the Leeds Grand Theatre after Opera North’s r e n d i t i o n o f “ Madam


Butterfly”. Puccini’s tragic masterpiece of


misplaced love introduces us to US naval officer Lt Pinkerton, who marries Madam Butterfly, a young geisha girl. Considering the mar­ riage a. passing diversion while posted overseas, he fully intends to eventually find himself a

For each parcel take a sheet of filo pastry, brush lightly with butter. Place one-eighth of the filling at one end, then fold over the edges down the length. Roll up, brushing the pastry at intervals. Place on a baking sheet.


6. Repeat the procedure with rest of the pastry and filling. Bake


the parcels in the oven for 15-20 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve while warm with a crisp green salad.

because of the vast array of wines available, we tend to overlook the stuff that is grown on our own
