Which Of These Desserts Shall I Serve After A Roast Pork Dinner?

[Iluvspikey]

I've got shop bought meringue shells or brandy snap baskets I could fill with cream and some fruit (I've got a bag of frozen blackberries, rasberries and strawbs, or
Black Forrest gateatu
or
Lemon cheesecake

[Iluvspikey]

I always do a ton of roasties Ummmm, my lot fill the plate and build a dinner around them. Any more crackling, anyone?

[ummmm]

We've just ate our crackling. I have hassleback potatoes in the oven, pork is resting, veg waiting to be steamed and I'm making a mushroom sauce :-)

I'm hungry...

[tonyav]

Yep, I'll have some, and pass the salt please.

[Iluvspikey]

Another tip for your crackling, if it won't crisp up, deep fry it! then you get that really puffed up stuff you can buy in packs called pork crunch

[tonyav]

Great I love those bags of pork crunch.

I'd hacve the lemon cheesecake personally.... but I'd like to tray a brandy snap as I don't think I ever have.

[ummmm]

Brandy snaps are nice.

[tonyav]

They don't actually taste of brandy China, very nice though.

[China Doll]

Are they like ginger biscuits?

[tonyav]

Sort of China, but they don't look like them.

[China Doll]

Mmmm... I'd like them to taste quite strongly of brandy though :c)

[boxtops]

china, they're more like a gingery bit of stiff toffee :-)

[mccfluff]

if you get the ones that are like tubes then pipe them with brandy cream, not that's lush

hiya spikey - did you used to post under the username merciasounds? Your posts sound just like her scrummy posts (and your freezer/fridge sounds just about as large :)
