sound's like a chocoholic's dream, but can i miss out on the marshmallows?
jas from central belt
son has considered this. after a long pause, he says yes you can miss out marshmallows but thinks you should put in bananas.
scallowawife from shetland
so this would be the healthy option, then?

Why worry about the "healthy option"? Do you think the guga eaters worry about such namby-pamby trifles?! Next, Jas, you'll be worrying about healthy portions!! Golly scallowawife, whisky cake, eh?! I shall have to ask my wife to take pity on me and make me one.

Whatever happened to Ruthodanort and Herman Ess? No blog from them. Did the Vindaloo finally do Herman in (or was it the couscous?)?!

portions??? what strange word is this? I'm a believer in filling the plate till it looks right, I'll have you know!! tchhh
jas from central belt
for goodness sake mjc - MAKE IT YOURSELF!! I can only assume the worst - Herman and Ruthodanort may not have returned from the fank. haven't seen either of them. Ask Calumannabel if he has any word.

Don't be so mean, scallowawife! Is the recipe the one (p.99 - Scottish Kitchen) for Whisky-laced [14 fl.oz! more like "drowned" to me] fruit cake? Serves 12, scallowawife!! Surely you have some left over? I was hoping you would offer to send some to me!! I live in the desert, scallowawife: how do you expect me to find light muscovado sugar, glace cherries and, most of all, free range eggs. Free range hens here would be appetizers for the coyotes.

mjc - yes thats the book and the recipe.it is a lot of whisky - as good a way as any to get rid of the stuff!! sorry sue about this comment, but any old eggs will do, and any fruit combination. you have to be creative and inventive when cooking. surely in the desert you have learned to improvise a bit? Personally I want to make it again with a different kind of booze.(again apologies to Sue if she happens to read this)

Right o! Re: Sue Lawrence, I can't make head or tail of the recipe: Beer can chicken (p.111) I have great difficulty imagining it all. Have you tried it? If not, please try it, and let me know how it goes!! I have a funny feeling she devised that recipe after she had "of strong drink partaken" - but I may be wrong (we are all wired differently).
mjc from NM,USA
'as good a way as any to get rid of the stuff"!!!!!!!!!!!! Avast there and splice the mainbrace, is that any way to talk about the water of liff? In my albeit limited experience of humans, the only way to ingest the amber nectar is in liquid form, unadulterated by *hiss spit* cake. Think of the cooking time scallowawife and mjc'swife will save, not to mention the expanding waistlines.
Flying Cat from tired and emotional
Howdy Scallowawife: about your exhortation to "be creative, inventive ... and improvise" in the desert--- weeell!! We are so busy looking for water and avoiding flying tomahawks that we can only dream of whisky (which pa [someone else's, not mine] calls "fire water"). We know of twenty and one ways to prepare rattle snake, and thirteen ways of trapping and speedily plucking road runners, and we can prepare the meanest, baddest Rocky Mountain oyster, but truly I could not find light muscovado sugar - though I looked mighty hard - behind chamisas for miles around. I could hustle some pinon nuts, but, as for fruit, would cactus pear do? Really, easiest would be for you to send your excess whisky laced cake (or a brand new whole one) over to Nuevo Mexico by UPS or DHL two day air.

Got to Harris but couldn't find the fank. Maybe next year......
Herman from Orkney
Herman - What did you think to Harris? Went there myself last October and was fairly 'blown away' by the beauty o the place. Seemed to have the best bits o Orkney and Shetland rolled into one.
Rachondarox from Lancs
Rachondarox: in what sense "the best bits"? For the benefit of an outsider, would you care to elaborate?

Hi there just wondered if I have your permission to add this recipie to my weblog leace.blogsource.com
leace sinclair from kirkwall
Leace - I posted a comment ages ago saying yes, son says you can, and remember about the 'healthy' option!!
