Tomorrow at church we are hosting a 'bring and share' with a slight twist... rather than sandwiches and quiches and all things white British, we've invited people to bring the food they love - the food that reflects their home culture, or that they love from another culture.  Disappointingly, no curry goat, even if I wouldn't be eating it, as the maker will be be away for the weekend.  But we are expecting everything from cottage pie to five bean chilli, cauliflower cheese to spring rolls, Indian snacks to egg sandwiches, and all points in between.

I've made a pot of lentil dhal/dahl, and will also be taking along some chips and dips.

I think it will be rather wonderful to mix and match different tastes and textures, and to celebrate being together.
