You won't be getting provolone... Unless you make a trip to an Italian deli.

Really?  I thought someone said they got provolone at their Lidl.  Hmph.  Now I have to see if Swansea has an Italian deli.  This is going to be like pulling taffy... a struggle every step of the way.

Even the proper cheese shops don't have provolone.  I think I once checked Valvona & Crolla in Edinburgh (Italian deli) and they didn't have it either.

I DID however, get some in Asda 2 weeks ago... pre-packaged with salami & prosciutto.  It was ok... been so long since I've had proper prov, I may have forgotten what it tastes like.

Why yes, yes it does!

Now will I ever actually get around to ordering any? Lol



I hate that Amazon links just turn into adverts now ( so I'm going to edit it out) but you can get it there too!

I may have made something similar (check Smitten Kitchen - she doesn't use condensed milk but does use double cream) and can confirm - it really IS some tasty stuff. Itll harden up in the fridge quite a bit, but that just makes it easier to eat with a spoon :). I believe in the recipe I used there is an option to ix bourbon through also, if that is your thing.

Not entirely surprising that a KFC taco is a thing.  KFC and Taco Bell are both owned by YUM! brand (stock symbol: YUM).  YUM! also owns Pizza Hut, but who cares?  ;)  What I want to know is what the KFC taco looked like and contained. Tell me more!

Yeah, I'd eat that.  But for now, it's grilled cheese time!

It's combining my favourite things: crispy fried chicken and tacos... MMMM

I've been in a restaurant that was a bizarre hybrid of Pizza Hut and Taco Bell.  You could get a slice of pizza with taco stuff on the side.  Or some combination of those.  Of course, no coke, only Pepsi.
