Has anyone seen vegetable shortening (Cookeen/Spry) on this side of the island? I need some rather urgently.

Fatouche, I've bought lard in Tempo in Catalkoy. Would that be of any use to you or is there a big difference?

Boys stop it.... get serious.

Try dehydrating them in the clay oven, they should shorten nicely.

Soner, I think you will find that it's members of the female persuasion who are longing for shortening!

I don't know how you take it in such a good spirit, Fatma. That Soner is such a wind-up merchant!
