What was Poirot referring to when he said the English are fond of growing the Vegetable Marrows?<br />If you promise NOT to give me a recipe for Black Pudding (having been served enough blood sausages at my grandparents as a child to last a Vampire's lifetime), I'll give you my recipe for the frosting. Beat 1/2 cup peanut and 1/4 cup butter until creamy. Add 1 pound of confectioners (powdered) sugar and mix. Then add milk until the consistency of fudge. (Usually under 1/4 cup.) If your cake is very tender, you may have to pat this into thin sheets and lay it on the cake, instead of trying to spread it around. (This last little tip is how I knew the woman wasn't just kidding me. She knew this.)Berylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08386043271411304736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474350601993629544.post-16102610986899641952012-02-11T00:31:13.254-08:002012-02-11T00:31:13.254-08:00PS I could give you a recipe for black pudding......PS I could give you a recipe for black pudding...almost certainly not to be duplicated!

However, courgettes (Brits use the French term rather than the Italian, in spite of spending hundreds of years at war with France) are dead expensive here so I use old (not rotten, but not nice) fruit that I pull out of the freezer (where I toss it to save it before it's too late) and blend to a puree. I must admit I've not ever heard of peanut butter frosting. Any chance you'd share the recipe? My step-son LOVES peanut butter and he quite likes my spice cake - everyone gets one for Christmas from me. The combination would have him worshipping at my feet! Not that I wish to trade Bill for a younger model - far from it. Simon is an awfully nice young man, though, and I would enjoy making him happy. He's famous for his love of odd foods...<br /><br />Amazing that you should find a twin offering. Ah, potlucks! They must be v. American. Brits can't cope with serendipity - you HAVE to at least specify main course, veg or dessert, which I think is rather cheating... I'm almost homesick!Shelleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239488936038510294noreply@blogger.com
