CARLOS MARTINEZ explains the sound case for car manufacturing co-operation with China
We spent Easter with friends in Suffolk. For Sunday lunch I had one of the best meals ever in their village pub the Cross Keys.
Marrow bones for starters, then two beefs from different joints cooked to rare perfection, served with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, cauliflower, kale, mangetout, red cabbage, various root vegetables and the best rich sweet gravy I’ve had for a long, long time. All washed down with a pint or two of local brew.
Rather than a pudding I returned to a very ancient, if forgotten, custom and chose a savoury final course.
