Just driven along the M5 / M4 intersection and saw "Helen," Susan Calman's little campervan on the back of a trailer...

Roast pork for dinner with lots of cracking
One of my absolute favourites but my wife hates the smell of pork so I can't have it unless she is away for the weekend.

Cracking crackling
My Dad was expert at getting the crackling super crispy. My teeth can't take it these days plus I'm a bit squeamish about fat on food.

I don't eat any fat on my food at all, crackling, belly of pork or chops are a real no no for me.

Park skin is best fried to make cracking/scratchings.

What’s your cracking secret?
Tried a few online guides and it’s never quite there. Should we start a separate “best crackling” thread

No secret - just made sure it was dry before putting it in the oven

I give the crackling a squirt of lemon juice about half way through the roast

Donna had this on ipad while we're watching the golf... she turned it off in disgust when the Bichon didn't get a prize!

I love watching Crufts and was shouting "anything but that stupid poodle" at the TV...the winner was kinda cute. Never a gun dog but cute all the same

The only thing I didn't like was the fact you couldn't see its eyes...

Unfortunately I think the dogs hairdresser like a lot of them on Crufts spent more time making them look “ nice” rather than natural. Basically the dogs name means water dog. They love water and have the coat/ hair that is ideal for that. They are very obedient and are the go to dog for sniffing out truffles and make their owners in Italy a good amount of money. I was seriously looking at getting one but well It never happened. Having a dog that did as it was told was a massive factor as against having a Bulldog that was a royal PITA who would only sit if a custard cream was under its nose.
