Was helping a friend with a work marketing project and the age old 'if you were stranded on a dessert island, what 3 items would you want'? Came up.
I had a complete mind blank and came up with three boring things.

What would you want? Grin

Spoon, cake knife, and a plate Grin

A boat
An engine
A pallet of patrol drums.

SaggyNaggy · 21/07/2016 19:16

Patrol should petrol

it would depend whether it's an arctic roll or isles flottant Grin

I would like a flint thingy to make fire easily, a sturdy oilskin and a knife

A dictionary.

Optimist1 · 21/07/2016 19:22

TheCrow and I are on the same wavelength here - I opened this thread with the thought that I haven't had iles flottantes for far too long !!!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 21/07/2016 19:23

Hahaha, Natsku beat me to it!!!

TheCrowFromBelow · 21/07/2016 19:26

I love the crispy caramel bits!
I clearly can't spell my french desserts Grin which has a certain irony Grin

Tuiles · 21/07/2016 19:28

Mmmmm Arctic roll...

Optimist1 · 21/07/2016 19:44

I knew exactly what you meant, Crow, and am not 100% sure my spelling is correct, which does indeed carry a tiny ironic touch! (You can have my caramel bits - it's the custard/soft meringue combo that I yearn for.)

barkingfly · 21/07/2016 19:47

MMMMMMMM dessert. I would take whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and ....

FlowerOfTheWest · 21/07/2016 19:48

If I'm on a dessert island, I'm pretty much sorted. No extras required! Grin

Haha oops the lack of sleep from 15 week old twins must be getting to me Blush

I like your dessert island better anyway op Grin
Hope those wee ones let you get some sleep soon Flowers

If I was on a dessert island I would want a banana boat to take me on trips across the toffee river to the banoffee mountain Cake
