Christmas cake

[damian 0]

I do remember quite enjoying that xmas pudding, the one that came in a round ball wrapped in cloth. That with hot custard was really good (real custard, not that sludge from a carton).

 

The best xmas food is left over ham in a sambo with hot mustard.

 

I once had an American 'house wife' tell me her method of slow roasting a ham that had been marinated in..... coca cola!!!! This woman put marshmallows in Waldorf salad. I remember she also called jelly 'jello' and jam 'jelly'.

 

Now lets drop all this homosexual fruit cake talk and focus on the meaning of life at xmas time: TRIFLE with loads of funny Italian biscuit-cakes, clotted cream, fresh berries and lots of cheap sherry.

I'm in the really like chrippy fruit cake camp. And camp it is. I'm not really into the idea of talking about cakes.

Good to see you Brits, Kiwi's and us Aussies still maintain the vestiges of Empire!

Mate, you hit the nail on THE head with those comments. (Even though Christmas Day here is Oz is usually sunny, humid and 40 Celsius.)

log cake is a sponge type cake in the shape of a log. with icing.

 

my grandma in australia makes it with whiskey icing so the whiskey diffuses through to the sponge.
