Thanks to witchmountain for the last thread and to dadx3 for Godfathering them! Also to any other posters whose ideas I have borrowed for the title.

Ebear Isn't the small casserole a 'marmite' ? Not the yeast product

I just can't see Pat or Jill having Le Creuset more elderly Pyrex with flowers round the side or those deep stovetop two handled enamel pans with flowers on bought in the 70s and still going strong. JD definitely Le Creuset

Gobsmacked. apparently Stich 'n' Bitch has been going since the war. I thought it was a recent invention. So says Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stitch_%27n_Bitch

A casserole in France is a saucepan, a cocotte or marmite (preferably by Le Creuset!) is the dish in which a casserole or stew is cooked, I think. Mind you, these Genevan soup tureens (marmites) are quite good, too But I love Marmite, anyway

Brookfield has an Aga as it used to get mentioned fairly often. I don’t imagine anyone but Jill knows how it works - they’re all going to be very hungry when she croaks it.

Who says 'you know' to euphamise having sex these days?

I reckon the language would be a bit more graphic in reality.

Maybe Hannah will get her come uppance when she is discovered being mean to the pigs.

Hello I haven’t listened to tonight’s episode or anything but i wanted to share with you all that i sometimes put cinnamon in veg chilli, just a little dab. I am struggling to imagine it going with lamb though. She was probably going for a middle eastern vibe. Poor maligned pat #justiceforpat

Given the amount JennyDarling splurged on the Dream Kitchen, she must surely have a Lacanche cooker, at the very least.

(Belatedly applauds R4 for best pun of the thread)

Something like these

I presume Marmite jars are the shape they are to mimic some sort of tureen of that name.

Exactly those casserole pots, plus these pyrex dishes.

Yes - the picture on the label is the old shape marmite on which the jar is modeled.

I have a decades old Le Creuset marmitout, which I assume derives from the same name and is the world's most useful item when starting out.

Ditto marmitout.

Marmite? I can take it or leave it tbh.

My favourite ever line from The Good Life - " I do hope nobody will gag at a petit marmite"

I somehow don’t think Hannah was expecting Tom’s confession to get such a relaxed reception. Does Tom now need to tell Natasha about dumping Kirsty at the altar and then going on to conceive a child with her or is she going to hear that from someone else and find out he’s not been as full and frank as first appeared?

I’m not sure I like all those casserole pot photos - it’s almost like seeing photos of the cast . We will need to listen extra carefully to the culinary sound effects to try and detect which ones are being used.

Those Pyrex casserole dishes are well retro, and worth a bit, but not as gobsmackingly expense as Le Creuset, natch.

Cinnamon with lamb is definitely a thing. I make a delicious lamb stew with aubergines, honey & cinnamon! Or possibly a casserole.

I also have full set of the cooking pots paintingtheroseswhite posted in my holiday house. At home though it's Le Creuset all the way ...

Please please please can we have 'stitch the bitch', 'a whiff of Snell' and some shabby Poldark reference all carefully woven (boom boom) into next thread title?

I reckon Hannah will be furious that Natasha has taken the FWB news so well. She might have to try a bit harder in her efforts to thwart the path of lurve. Maybe loitering about in come-hither lingerie or similar??

5000fingers OMG Lacanche !!!! The range of my dreams!!!!

Both those casserole\saucepan sets were proudly used by MIL GRHS They take me back! To Sunday lunches at 1pm. with soggy cabbage and indeterminate meat (you could only tell what it was had been by the accompanying condiments). Also poor DH on the phone to her at 10am "Don't put the beef on now Mum pleeese."

Yes Notdead Are you willing? With Dad's blessing of course!

Definitely willing. Just not sure if I am of the right calibre for such an august task...... I defer to more senior members of the thread for a decision..

Not to blow my own trumpet of course, but someone mentioned (in this or the last thread , they move so fast I can't remember ) that it was down to the current title composer to suggest the next one and that's ME
