We had first thought to return to Bachmann's at Thames Ditton, but in the end we settled for BH cooking a seed cake, something we used to have quite often years ago, partly on the grounds that it would be better than anything Bachmann's could do, partly because it could be made in less time than it took to drive to Bachmann's and back.
Both wine and cake turned out very well, with more than three quarters of both of them done at a sitting.
Oddly, I can't find the wine in question at reference 2, search for all of 'campostatano', 'campania' and 'falanghina' drawing a blank. Sold to us on the grounds that it came from the same part of Italy as the Greco di Tufo which we like, but which they could not, on this occasion, supply.
Also oddly, I can't find any reference to either of us having made a seed cake in the last decade. Several references to thinking about making one, but then ending up making some other sort of cake, most often a Dundee cake or an Alberta date cake.
