Oh yeah! Now you're talking...😎

I couldn't manage the whole mountain but I could certainly make a start 🙂

 

[Lynn Davies]

As you are all so fussy how about some Chocolate and salted caramel cake? I won a 'Bake Off' with this one

 

[Annette]

That looks really pretty Lynn. I wouldn't want to go near it with a barge pole, but it looks good 😛

Think of the insulin, just think of the insulin! 😉😱

Now you're definitely talking! Will be making some of these for the family over Christmas. Apparently mine never quite meet the dizzying heights of excellence achieved by my late mother in law, but everyone tells me to keep practising. Carb wise, they're actually not bad, if you don't sweeten the cream and use plenty of dark choc in the sauce.

Im drooling on my keyboard as we speak!

Yumm! One or three of those would be very welcome, not the whole heap though.

I could probably eat the whole heap but I'd be very poorly afterwards!!

Dark chocolate and fresh cream - divine! - the fact that I also like choux pastry is almost immaterial, though it does make the other two easier to get in my gob ...... we occasionally have the boxes of reasonable sized choc eclairs as a treat - usually around £1 for 4, and I think 11 or 12g CHO each - not bad for such sheer indulgence! so I entirely agree with Robin's comments. However - I've never known fresh cream be sweetened? esp not in eg crème brulee; drool !

December 18th - A Londoner's favourite, pie, mash and jellied eels!

 

[Stitch147]

All good without the jellied eels! We have a Manze's pie and mash not far from where I work.

 

[Flower]

Urgghh! Just no, very wrong 😱😉

 

[khskel]

It's the dishwater they put on top that puts me off!

From the sublime to the ridiculous...

That has to be the most unappetising picture so far!

There was a tv programme on recently with Len Goodman and Ainsley Harriot trying out the cuisine of various regions and nationalities - in Lahndun they featured this meal - couldn't believe how much parsley sauce they slopped over it! 😱 Eeew! 😱 I like parsley sauce, but not swimming in it!

 

[Stitch147]

I must admit I'm not keen on the parsley sauce or liquor (as its known in these parts!) i usually have good ole gravy on mine.
