"Christmas Quiche" Challenge

[Mad Cook]

I thought so. Thanks for confirming.

I am a little daunted by the pastry. It is hard to get right. And while I feel fairly confident about a "normal" quiche filling, getting the ratios and flavours right for this "unusual" one is my personal challenge! (I don't want people to feel embarrassed eating it in front of me!) (They are really nice people I work with so they will be polite, but I would much rather they genuinely liked it!)

Psst! Just between you and me and don't tell anyone, Tesco et al do very good ready rolled pastry (made with butter even) - both shortcrust and puff pastry - in the chiller cabinet near the butter and cheese. No-one will ever know if you "be like Dad and keep Mum".

"be like Dad and keep Mum"

Never heard that one before. I love it and will try to remember it.

It was on a famous and much quoted British WWII poster warning people that "Careless talk costs lives". If you Google it you can see a selection of the posters including the one with the glamorous blonde with a sailor, an airman and a soldier oggling her and the caption "Keep mum, she's not so dumb"

I think in USA they had a "Loose Lips Sink Ships" campaign among others.

(I was a product of the post war baby boom and these sayings were still very common in my childhood.)
