DELICIOUS, SCRUMPTIOUS, OUTSTANDING

Also, seen from the view of The Old Girl it's outrageous, egregious and preposterous.

So, what am I referring to?

This:

DELICIOUS, SCRUMPTIOUS, OUTSTANDING

I bought it from Countdown in the bakery section. I note that it's made in Italy and given that it tastes like fresh cream inside it's outrageous, egregious and preposterous. How does this manage to be shipped from Italy and, unfozen, still stay fresh.

The answer is in the list of ingredients on the back of course.

Glucose Syrup, Reconstituted Milk [Water, Milk Solids], Water, Savioardo Biscuit (Minimum 9.0%) [Wheat Flour, Egg, Sugar, Milk Proteins, Raising Agents (450,500)], Mascarpone (Minimum 5.0%) [Cream, Acidity Regulator (lactic acid)], Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Milk Proteins, Egg Yolk, Alcohol (2.5%), Stabiliser (420), Cocoa Dusting (Minimum 1.0%) [Cocoa (Minimum 0.5%), Dextrose, Wheat, Starch, Sugar, Cocoa Butter), Marsala Wine (Minimum 0.9%), Thickeners [407, 415], Soluble Coffee (Minimum 0.6%), tapioca starch, emulsifiers (471, 472b), coffee extract(0.1%), flavourings, salt.

I've highlighted the preserving agents which have probably irreparably damaged my health but, damn it was delicious.

I bought this on Sunday after I dropped The Old Girl off at the airport and finished the last of it off for lunch today. I've gotten rid of the evidence so she will be unaware of this illegal, immoral and irresponsible purchase.

IT'S GETTING COLDER - TIME FOR SOME WARMING MEALS

"Worked Easter Monday. Relaxing with a White Cliff ....Made meat balls for dinner. Sue said "Oh No" at first . But Countdown have a recipe that I tried without the onion and added a few secret ingredients. Sue says the chefs on TV always add salt and pepper but was impressed with my attempt.  Does anyone have a good recipe for meat balls and canned spaghetti?  

          Ok here's the recipe I used.

500 gms premium mince. 

4 cloves garlic

1 pkt of brown gravy

1 cup shredded tasty cheese.

1 egg beaten

a dash of this and that "

This was from of one of Robert's deleted posts.




To answer his question "Does anyone have a good recipe for meat balls and canned spaghetti?" my answer would be to try Bill English.
