Hello Lulu:
ReplyDeleteAdventure, adventure all the way. How splendid and what a marvellous travelling companion you had.
The Scottish fish cake as depicted looks particularly delicious, was it an improvement on the deep fried Mars bar for which that country is so famous?
Aha! This explains the dragon toasting chihuahuas comment at mine!
ReplyDelete"Fish" and "cake" should not be put together in the same word or mixture. My grandmother used to make fishcakes. Perhaps putting candles on them as you've illustrated and letting them get covered in melted wax, or otherwise setting them on fire, would have made them more palatable.
ReplyDeleteThe Devil's Beeftub reminds me of a lady I used to be acquainted with.
ReplyDeleteLooks a bit like "Star Gazey Pie." Not that that improves it.

The Devil's Beeftub sounds delicious
ReplyDeleteHello Top Hats, how lovely to see you, I definitely preferred the fishcake to the mars bar.
