I visited your grandfather's restaurant the Miners Arms on several occasions with my husband.I vividly remember eating the the snails and the Priddy Oggies. I have one fond memory when the waiter accidently spilt red wine over my dress. Your grandfather was so courteous and applogetic. He took me to the back of the restaurant and gave me a towelling robe to wear and then washed my dressand then dried it.(it was white very heavy ribbed courtelle) If I remember correctly he was in the good food guide and deservedly so. I also seem to remember that he was a scientist of some repute and that he was involved in the design of the 'Blue Streak' rocket in Australia. I would love to hear from you if I am correct. I am delighted to have both the cheese and the meat version and I shall look forward to trying them out. With fond memories of the 1960's when I wa s having my family. I am now a grandmother with four grown up children and four grandchildren. Yours sincerely D. McAllister</p> Dear Richard Leyton,
