Finally remembered to get one (At Smith's) and now I really really really want canned brown bread slathered in butter!

...had a skim-through last night. Nothing jumped out and grabbed me on the North American front but some of the Caribbean and South American stuff sounded pretty interesting...

Snap.  Well I salivated over the Mexican stuff too, so that's North American.

I bought it at WH Smith's today.

Finally found it! I may try my hand at the empanadas next week.

that was my first thought on seeing that recipe!  only we put cream cheese on it. 

We made the cheese steaks the other night (yum!) and the mexican bean melts tonight.   I'm itching to make the boston baked beans and DH really wants to try the mini apple pies!

The duck empanadas were EXCELLENT. But it made a lot of filling and I don't see how they got 8 out of one pack of pastry dough. I made 4 big ones using a desert/salad sized plate and had filling left even though I didn't skimp in filling them. They really were super, super yummy.

Picked up a copy today too.  Lots of good recipes in there.

Do you think they'd work with chicken?  Dark meat (thighs)?  They look absolutely gorgeous but neither DH nor I eats duck.

Definitely!! There's nothing in them that I would think would compliment duck in particular and I think chicken thighs would definitely work - but I'd definitely stick with dark meat only. Otherwise they might be a little bit bland.

That's what I'm thinking - dark meat is much closer to duck meat than chicken or turkey breast.  I might have to try these next week!

We tried the mini apple pies recipe and they were yummy!  We especially liked the just out of the oven ones swimming in hot custard 

I have tried 3 WH Smith's and 3 Borders and have yet to find a copy.

I really struggled to find it. But it's worth persevering. I think I ended up finding it at Tesco (which really pissed me off because I try to NEVER go to Tesco, but I was desperate for distilled vinegar and Sainsburys was out of it  ).

Mine was at Somerfield, but I think Asda sells it as well.

Oh!  I will try ASDA!  Looked at Tesco, no joy!
