3. Does anyone know if sponge fingers have wheat in them? I have a gluten allergy. Obviously I can't have the pasta, but have found noodles are a great replacement.

9. Hi, further to other comments, could anyone advise where to buy dried cherries in Edinburgh - I tried Julian Graves as suggested by Angie Adams on 4/11/08 but they told me they only sell glace cherries. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Jane

11. Sainsbury's sell the angel hair pasta. I think they call it Capellini pasta. Its just a bit thinner than spaghetti so I bet you could use spaghetti if you couldn't get it. Or maybe even linguini. (flattened out spaghetti!) Does anyone know if the crab should be fresh or is a tin OK? (I think I'll go for tinned!) To the crab type question and the duck question - good old sainsbury's sell both packs of two duck breasts next to the chicken fillets in store, and also do tins of white crab meat which is with the tuna and tinned salmon. Its usually on the top shelf. Fresh 'dressed' crabs usually also have brown meat and egg mixed in which I am guessing is a no-no. Marks and Sparks also do duck breasts if Sainsbo's sells out! My sainsbo's is a small one and they still have all this stuff. Probably not the cherries though! But I have a similar recipe which uses fresh blueberries...Are they in seaon yet? All this talk of food is making me hungry. Can't wait!

17. Is it ok to substitute the crab for prawns? One of my guests is allergic to crab meat. The other guest is allergic to cheese - is there any substitute for this for the pudding or should I do something else instead? It's great fun and quite competitive with friends!

20. Could we have some more credit crunch munch, please? Love that we try new weird ingredients and some witty recipes though would be good if we could have a training video on how to get the breast of a whole duck as its easier available than duck breasts and cheaper and how to get the meat out of the crab and what kind and size of crab is it? Never cooked a crustarian before!Otherwise will just use a DIY hammer and flatten the whole thingy? But heard that its meat is available tinned near the tuna chunks? Had a look for dried cherries and only found glaced ones and sour dried cherries in the wholefood and bakery department. Is it possible to use these or preferable to get some tinned ones? Otherwise seems to be a brilliant Lidl menu this week ...as they have the crab, duck and port on special offer?! Really enjoyed menu week 2 but prefer some mushrooms and bacon in Lasagne with some more pasta sheets and no white sauce but cheese just on its own on top of the dish. Weird to have a soup without a stock cube in it! The creamy dessert was a bit rich but my partner loved it! Also due to increased preparation and organisation was this time only 10 minutes behind rather than 45 min! Johnny Vegas was good fun but couldn't understand his voice most of the time, did have my hubby to translate the jokes for me! The angle hair pasta... isn't it a thinner type of pasta than the spaghetti and sold in birds nest form? Well guess it doesn't matter as long as its long and stringy pasta types? Looking forward to Friday, will be good fun and using self-grown chilli! If we buy a whole duck and take the breast of are there any suggestions/recipes of what to do with the rest of the bird?
