Whoops !!! Should read "containing pieces of chopped stem Ginger and Pinapple"

JH

Ken is right Robin, it is to be loved , tho' not particularly 'healthy', more along the lines of decadent, but one of my favourites never-the-less ! For some years now one of our family treats is a varient on the theme, three layers of meringue, separated by and topped with whipped cream containing chopped stem ginger, decorated with sliced Kiwi; and served with pouring cream ! Yes, a killer of a dessert, but worth a try once in a blue moon ! (I like to save some for 'the next day', when the meringue has gone a bit soggy!)

John

Incidentally, its named in honour of the ballerina !

Robin -- You'll love Pavlova - it's a fruit topped baked meringue filled with real whipped cream and topped with various fruits or berries.

Fairy Bread is white bread spread with sweet butter and topped with copious amounts of colored sprinkles.

Helen, I'll bring Marmite Soldiers and ANZAC Biscuits!!

That brings back memories Maryann ! In 1940's wartime UK meat was rationed, but not offal !,which was also cheap compared to 'proper meat'. My mother who had been a country girl in her youth, was a devotee of things such as tripe, chittlings, ect, and I well recollect the smell of pigs head (for brawn) and pigs trotters being cooked ,with the result,as you say, vast amounts of gelatine !!! I hate Pork pie for precisely that, ie, always a thickness of the stuff between the pie crust and the meat.

Steph! A tempting thought, but I would not want to be responsible for putting you back in a hospital bed

Memory in the heart is good Strumelia, for me more than most perhaps, I received his book of tab just about the time he left us, while I was in hospital for a heart procedure. One of the reasons I conjured up a tune for him ! And yes, he would be happy, beaming whilst he tossed that 'Deputy Mo silver bullet' from hand to hand !

I'm sure that whether Rod is an actual angel looking down, or simply a memory in our hearts, either way he is right here with us and beaming happily.

And this thread reminds me of Rod. We only ever met online but I miss him.

That doesn't look any worse than head cheese ...

Sorry, it's "green eggs and ham" not "green eggs and spam." Dr. Seuss would never advocate canned meat.

Patty, you can always have diced Sp*m in an omelette-- lots of eggs with little of the canned meat product. :) I'd eat it to get one of John's VA style dulcimers!

Cider and cheese, please, John!

That picture Lisa posted is some marvel of engineering in the world of hair styling. :)
