Yeh, patisserie is very specialised, luckily in Brighton we have an amazing chain of them, top notch french derived bakery, not expensive either, weirdly. Saying that though, I don;t think its really that difficult to knock a decent baked custard, meringue, or other simple dessert, bread and butter pudding is a personal fave! I've got a Marco pierre White cookbook with a recipe for that! Not elaborate, he just adds a shed load of butter, and it's lovely. I absolutely loved the abbey, nice to see fan vaulting up so close, and that stained glass, stunning, The facade is rather novel too, with the angels 'climbing' up (and down) it.
Haha - aye, it's called thread drift!:ner:;)
No confusion though, as what's written is 100% clear, even if it's off topic:D

Yeah, I love gorgeous old churches, cathedrals, etc - really anything with character that's steeped in history. Plus I love towns or smaller cities that haven't been ruined by 21st century commercialism and consumerism, and which still have LIFE and SOUL, and thriving high streets!
Bath ticks all those boxes and more:)
I agree with you that it's not necessarily difficult to make a good pudding, but as ever results depend on how good the cook/chef is at delivering it, and often that's dependent on how much passion they have for that, as opposed to making savoury dishes.
In any case, never mind puddings, try getting decent vegetarian/vegan food in most pubs or restaurants, where chefs are rather rigidly of the old 'meat and two veg' school!:doh: My wife has a nightmare sometimes, especially as what she cooks at home is invariably of a higher standard than that found in pubs or restaurants.
However, many places simply don't care much for veggies, which is obvious when seeing the lavish care and attention put into meat or fish dishes on the menu, with the token veggie option produced as an afterthought - and often not much cheaper either!:rolleyes:
