I loved the kitchens in Lanhydrock when I visited there - I stayed ages & felt very much at home - later my Dad told me his ancestors came from a few miles from there - I wondered if they had worked there  |

| The kitchen at Castle Drogo is really good. It's got probably the biggest pestle and mortar in the world. |

And I bet you don't put up with any nonsense from the under-scullery maids in your kitchen.  |

I'm very happy with our kitchen which we designed a couple of years back. Very big oven with 5 hob burner and massive island for preparing stuff. Getting the design right is a big big decision and we seem to have got it right for us. |

If we're willy-waving about the size of our hobs I win. 5 gas burners and 2 electric ones. (plus two full size ovens and a little warming oven). |

we just went for a restaraunt solid top, means we can put as many pans on as we can fit, and the oven is big enough to roast a medium size child
Woodsprite, you look fantastic |

I'm sitting making a monstrous pile of plague rats for a show this weekend, and entertaining myself with the Victorian Garden series the BBC did years ago on dvd, I'm utterly in lust with the kitchen in it, and now desperately want to turn the entire downstairs into a kitchen with enough space for a big table and lots of copper pans
Course, I'd want one or two mod cons, but seeing as we already use Victorian crocks for dry good storage and use a lot of big solid pans already, its wouldnt be too much of a shift... |
Oi. That sounds rather ominous. Is Mr Camus invited as well?  |

Rephrazing: In my world a plague rat is....well, plague rat. A rat which brings plague.
Apparently it is something else as well. I'm just curious |

Sally's plague rats have the most extraordinary effect on cats. Ours go completely doolally over them. |
