AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR,
Took me forever to catch up on the reading. Now, some clarity ye wenches and scallys.
Patti yodelayhoo hoo - we's don't boil lamb - silly. Lamb is roasted and mutton is actually old lamb - like a pensioner. They go cheaper coz they are tough as nails. A fact ye may not know. There are 20 sheep per kiwi (that's people not the bird) - hence the kiwis have a few jokes spread about them and sheep and what the farmers do - ah, oops, best not go there.
Chris referred to Victorians as Mexicans - for the uninitiated, that saying was created by people in New South Wales referring to Victorians as Mexicans coz they be south of the border.
Now, I must tell you of the most delicious cake you could ever have and ya need a biscuit called Chocolate ripples. They are made by Arnotts. They are similar to Anzac bickies Sue but have a deep chocolate taste (any wenches like chocolate?).
I think the recipe might be on the packet - not sure. Anyway, ye gets two, amybe 4 packets of chocolate ripple bickies, ya whip up a chunck a cream, in a flat dish ye pour a whole heap of brandy. You need a rectangle dish to make the cake in.
Right, dip / soak a bickie in the brandy, and do this with about 6 bickies placed next to each other lengthways. You can make two rows of this. Then, like you build a brick wall, put a very healthy layer of cream. Then another layer of bickies, remember to soak them in brandy. Keep doing this until you run out of brandy!. You can make a nice shape as you go up with the layers you reduce the number of bickies like 6 on the base, then 5, 4 etc.
When you run out of brandy, buy another bottle and pour it into the cream, mix it up a little then cover the cake with the cream.
Put it in the fridge for an hour or two (if ye can wait) and then count the calories. Rather yummie, it be.
Bruce, glad ye enjoyed some good Aussie tucker.
gots to go now coz falling asleep at the keyboard.
catch ye guys soon.
