War on Waste


MrsM
Oh dear...
nobody wants the Framboise Ganache...

MissM
Don't worry,
the Charming MasterN will eat them.

MrsM
Really?
How do you know?

MissM
He will eat anything.

In fact - now I come to think of it
he will be really useful at Christmas
because he can eat all the strawberry creams
in the Quality Street tin.

  7. I just love the "which sweet gets left in the Quality Street tin?" question. It always gets a lively response. (It's the strawberry creams in this house too, but eventually I always succumb when there is nothing else in the house).

  8. It is always the weird green triangles that get left at our house. I have been known to sneak them into baking just be rid of the damn things come January.

  9. But I'll eat the Framboise ganache. And the green triangles. And the Turkish Delights. Address on application.

  10. Ha ha, and the nasty orange ones too. Every so often my Technical Advisor buys a large bag of Revels, we aren't allowed to feel around for our favourites, you have to take whatever you get, it's sweet roulette.

  11. Oh and in response to Trash's comment I have to say "nooooo". The green triangles are our favourite, right next to the purple ones.

  12. Oh, we used to fight over the green triangles as children. Love Turkish Delight but with you on the strawberry creams. What about those awful barrel shaped ones filled with lime glue you used to get in Dairy Milk - surely no-one would eat those if they still exist.

  14. I've had two lemon parfait chocolate things on the sideboard for weeks. Waiting for a desperate moment of sugar-craving...

  16. Always useful to have a boy about to do that sort of thing; only reason there's one in my house!
