Hokey Pokey

Description

Sticky 'cinder' toffee. With NO added cinder.

Ingredients

Caster Sugar -100g
Golden Syrup -4tbsp (i think this is tablespoon and not tablespam)
Bicarbonate of Soda - 1 and half teaspoon

Directions

Mix sugary stuff then boil it in a pan. Do not add any albatross at this point. When it has been boiling a bit, mix in the bicarb. It will go frothy. Still add no albatross but you may consider a small frog. Pour onto a flat thing it will spread out. Let it go cold. When it is cold hit it with a hammer.
Crunchy sweet stuff is made.

Bengal Tiger Surprise

Description

A tasty dish ideal with mashed potato. Not to be eaten before driving a Volkswagen through Manchester.

Ingredients

1x can of Gottlieb's Instant Bengal Tiger

2x red onions (chopped)

5x stalks of celery (sliced and ignored)

1x bottle of Snitterton Gin

12x snow peas

6x those funny little orange things that I guess belong to the squash family and are really rather tasteless but they do look vaguely intriguing.

1x dragon fruit (I didn't make that up ... go on, Google it if you don't believe me!)

1x small child who can be coaxed into popping over to the shop for the bunch of parsely that you forgot to add to the ingredients list.

Directions

1. Place the instant Bengal Tiger in a large casserole dish and arrange slices of red onion on top.

2. Sorry. I should have told you to slice the onions before ... not chop them. If you've already chopped the onions you're likely to bugger up the entire dish so you might have to get that child to pop over to the shops for another couple of onions - and for God's sake slice them this time, you prat.

3. Add enough gin to just cover the layer of onions.

4. Cover the casserole and bake at 375F for ooooh, let's say 40 minutes.

5. Place the snowpeas and the orange things on a shelf in the refrigerator and forget about them. Discover them 6 months later and try to remember why the hell you bought them in the first place before chucking them out.

6. Eat the dragon fruit and be quite disappointed by its lack of taste.

7. Serve the casseroled Bengal Tiger with parsley.

8. Be surprised.
