Ah - so same issue, but from the other side? The “it’s the wrong colour” complaints?
Meanwhile, the boss has announced chicken curry for this evening, so I have decided to extend the boycott of shop-bought rubbish to naan.

… yeah, but martyrs & wine are simply wrong.
Triffle should be simple, but plentyful. Personally I’d not use trifke sponge and would put raspberries and/or madarin segments in the jelly but Mrs. Shaks, surprisingly, disagrees.
Loads of custard, loads of cream and a, frankly, stupid amount of 100’s & 1,000’s.
Never, ever, ever sherry. Ever.
That’s ever.

Mr C’s schoolfriend’s wife makes Whisk(e)y trifle
First year of marriage, & they were as poor as the proverbial church mice & he was given a present of a bottle of Scotch by the firm he worked for
She made the trifle with it, as she didn’t have any Sherry ‘& it was too expensive to buy a bottle’ …
60 years later, they are still married, & she still makes Whisk(e)y Trifle every Christmas

That’s deserving of several more "ever’s ".
To be honest, I don’t do alcohol in food. 
Yes, I know !! (Though, as I speak I’m roasting a leg of pork with cider, so showing what a liar I am).

I wouldn’t put cider with that, myself. Nor would I expect much in the way of crackling…

There’s going to be plenty of crackling.

I seem to recall the late and very much lamented Humph mentioning that Samantha was partial to a bit of pork in cider.

Followed by dessert courtesy of her ice-cream making Italian gentleman friend. There’s nothing she enjoys more than licking the nuts off a large Neapolitan.

I have the recordings of every ISIHAC up to Jack Dee taking the chair. Great fun but, tbh, the first 5 minutes of each show when the location is lampooned and Samantha introduced are always the highlights.

Do you know, I can scarcely wait, Dahlink. Never been a fan of it meself, but it must have extravagant decorations on top. That is not negotiable. Balls.
Silver ones, or the multicoloured sort. But definitely balls.

And I can wholeheartedly recommend the Paul Hollywood version. He included caraway seeds as well as cumin seeds, but since I didn’t have any of the former, I simply missed them out. Can’t say I noticed anything particularly missing flavour-wise.

Have just corrected the spelling of “flavour”. Why does this site insist on US English?
