When I have an urgent sweet craving I mix some with icing sugar but usually I just have it with walnuts and dates on linseed bread when I'm out on my bike or up a mountain somewhere.

Hey that might be a better film. Make the film where you actually eat it. I can recommend Blencathra or the Cairngorms!!

The last time I bought Philly was for Jamie Oliver's vanilla cheesecake, two whole tubs so a good thing it turned out big enough to feed at least 12 people!

i use el cheapo versions in cheesecake. and i am famous enough, thank you :)

I have a great one, my sprout and bacon pasta! but again I don't want to be on an ad or involved in any way, but they/MNers can have my recipe.

For 4

Fry 1 onion in olive oil for a few mins
Add 8 slices of bacon, chopped, and fry till cooked
Add peeled/prepped and sliced brussels sprouts, about half a kilo? - or just a supermarket packet, fry for a minute or two
Add a glass of white wine, stir and cover/simmer/saute till sprouts start to soften
Stir on a high heat until liquid reduced/everything cooked
Stir in normal-sized pack of Philadelphia

Stir the whole lot into cooked pasta and put parmesan on top

It's SO NICE (if you like sprouts)

I LOVE sprouts, and that sounds fab, MarineIguana!

I just HAVE to post this!!!
I was actually chosen to be a Philly local hero, I heard about it from elsewhere and after being chosen, found this discussion page.
My house was a bombsite BEFORE I entered, it spurred me to have a good tidy up. My kids were soooo excited and thoroughly enjoyed the day the crew came and filmed us all.
The crew were exemplory, well mannered and made me feel like a star. Nothing like the crew mentioned above and not a black puffa jacket in sight!!!!!
My trip to London for the filming was AMAZING!!! Chauffeur driven to a magnificent hotel, wonderful food. On set everyone was wonderful and made me feel like a million dollars.
This took me right out of my comfort zone and I am soooooo pleased I did it!
No, I'm not a stick insect, I'm a big girl, but what the hell!
I had such a great time and they were all wonderful to me. Next time there is such an opportunity, just go for it! You've nothing to loose!
