FT Ask the Family – Part 2
So! Yesterday we left you with a poser in the form of one of our magnified pictures. Marianna was first to buzz in with the suggestion that we were looking at a pork scratching, so let’s see if she was right.
I think Eric will be able to show us the full picture now…

…and there it is indeed a rather delicious looking gratton. No doubt sold in their thousands at Earls Court last weekend. Well done Marianna!
So we move on to the second of our pictures. Once again, answer in the comments if you think you know what we’re looking at here:

Pickled eggs!!!
