I use some Scwarz packet sauces (Parsley, over steamed smoked haddock, Bearnaise) and also packet custard - but that is because it's the only way I can easily get sugar-free.

I agree about Bisto - just a dessertspoon or so can enrich sauces. Food purists will now be having kittens...

Absolutely Clair, the best by a long shot.  I spit roasted a farm chicken for lunch, and smeared the skin with Marigold mixed with a tiny bit of melted butter.  I stuffed some lemon slices, twigs of rosemary, thyme, sage leaves and bruised garlic cloves into the cavity before impaling it on the spit.

We ate it with home-made coleslaw, jacket potatoes and salad, and it was fabulous, and there's enough left for a cold chicken salad tonight, and soup or curry tomorrow, as well as enough juices to make loads of stock to freeze for something chickenish in the future.

That was 7,50 € well spent!

OK, I'm salivating now...
Where do you buy it, I'm certain I've never seen it in Champion or Leclerc!

You can stock up in the UK.  I used to buy it at Sainsbury's, and then later ask friends to bring some over, but now... http://www.completefrance.com/cs/forums/856975/ShowPost.aspx

EDIT:  I shall add this quickly before Clair chastises me, but she did cunningly include a link in her post on the page before this one to a Marigold online supplier.

I think it would depend on which area you are in, but I have definitely bought crumpets at our local Leader Price in the past.  They were stocked on the same rayon as the ready to bake bread, ryebread,  pitta breads etc.  Someone should confirm this though, as I might be having a senior moment Sad [:(]

Hi

I can confirm that Leaderprice sell Muffins ( La Roche and Fontenay ) as do Carrefour  (La Roche) but as yet I have never seen crumpets ( which I am taking to mean the ones with the holey texture).
