Ah yes, I like the Katy, although it is no spoken of too highly
amongst other cider-drinkers. :-) What do they know, they never speak
of sausages at all! The Spartan should not be used as a single
varietal cider, I'm told.

Not seen the perry. Hmm. I think my budget thinking is limiting my
field of vision, TBH.
Now all I need to do is decide which sausages will go well with a
selection of cider - other possible problems is that the husband-unit
does not drink cider, he drinks beer. Which sausages will go with
both?

Generally, I don't do 'em either, but since it can be delivered by
individual e-mail it suits me just fine. Not a fan of google groups
new interface, it's a bit too fond of not quoting things. Suppose
they'd be slated for letting newbs quote reams of drivel if it was set
to quote all... their x-no-archive:yes get round is a bit nifty, mind.
Almost like real usenet.
