Penlan Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) I do believe that the Professor is making arrangements for you to devour a tasty curry at the normal curry house on Cowbridge Common. Good beer is available all over Kaardiff as you know. Sadly we will not be able to provide a barrel at the show like we sampled at Aldershot last weekend. There may just be some welsh Cakes available however If the Welsh cakes are from the usual source I shall have to stock up on Brains Dark to take back home, I'm down to my last dozen bottles. 'Rev James' a regular on tap in our Legion though. Edited October 18, 2017 by Penlan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Rev James' a regular on tap in our Legion though. The Welsh cakes, now a feature of all Exhibitions where Cardiff 4mm Group are in attendance will be from the normal source (i.e. The Ferret) supplemented by additional supplies lovingly baked by Mrs Oisaeau.

Much nicer than evostik up your nose Having sampled Evo-Stik many times over my three score plus years; but never having partaken of Mrs Oisaeau's wares, I'll have to err on the enjoyment of Evo-Stik. . Of course, one 'bakestone' ( Welsh cake was a term alien to my family ) at the show may sway my taste buds. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisf Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 A bakestone is what the Welsh cakes should be cooked on, ideally. It is a large piece of iron or steel, broadly circular with a handle, that is placed on the cooker and greased with lard applied with a twist of the paper wrapping the pack of lard. Welsh cakes can be made on a griddle or in a cast iron frying pan such as one from the Le Creuset range but however well they turn out they are not the same. Where does the iron or steel come from? Well, if you see a tramp steamer with an oddly shaped porthole that might just be a clue. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackRat Posted October 19, 2017 Share Posted October 19, 2017 Welshcakes? Never heard of them, something resembling a Bakestone that the English like to try and make???? I recall my mam throwing the bakestone at my old man after he came home with a skinful on board,(Sunday joint burnt out) luckily it missed but I reckon the huge gouge in the wall is still in the police house in Gabalfa!

Chris The Ferret, the cook and supplier of the Welsh Cakes is a Supremo at the art, and I'm sure all the basic needs to produce the wares are in place, should you think otherwise, I will leave you to sort it out with The Ferret, I believe their score is 100% at resolving how the Welsh Cakes are made...

Of course, one 'bakestone' ( Welsh cake was a term alien to my family ) at the show may sway my taste buds. I can assure you that the venerable Mrs Oisaeau makes an exceedingly nice WELSH CAKE and has also produced some additional delicacies. She made these tasties this morning before setting off for a little baby sitting. So provided Mr. Oisaeau can keep his mits off them there will some to taste.

br2975 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 "Welsh Cakes" being cooked, on a 'bakestone' . Being Welsh, and living in Wales, is there any point in calling them "Welsh" cakes ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

br2975 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Tonight I experienced fear, first hand................. . Seeing the very impressive 'Sherton Abbas' for the first time was one thing, crawling beneath and bolting the boards together for 'Wenlock' was another. . But lifting his lighting frame into place led squeaky noises to emanate from the seat of my pants ! . Looking forward to an enjoyable weekend, and perhaps a Welsh cake ? .

RMweb Gold Barry Ten Posted October 21, 2017 RMweb Gold Share Posted October 21, 2017 Dave, Roger and I had great fun with Sherton Abbas today, which - other than an intermittent fault with the Dean Goods - operated very well. Did anyone take some pictures, I wonder? Plenty of other nice layouts to see so come along tomorrow if you get the chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to catch up with the stalwarts of my old club ( Cardiff 4mm group) and to see Welnlock, Barry Ten, br 2975, NHY to name but 4! Almost forget Mr and Mrs Queensquare. A small show which really punches above its weight in terms of quality. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
