Stuffed prunes?

[NotQuiteCockney]

My MIL, in a fit of MIL-ness, gave me a box of stuffed agen prunes for Xmas. What are they for? What can I do with them? (other than throw them out, which I am debating)

I tried eating one, and I do like prunes, but not that much, and anyway, they're quite sweet. So they're not for eating ...

What are they stuffed with?

More prunes, I think. Will check. I thought it would be cream or something, but it wasn't.

Yes, they're stuffed with pureed prune.

Because, you know, prune is such a subtle flavour.

They're from France, they're in a wooden box, they must have cost a bomb. Do people just eat them?

Wrap them in smoked bacon....serve hot, devils on horseback

I don't think I've ever voluntarily eaten a prunes + bacon combination ... these have added sugar, too, so they're really sweet ... would they still work?

they are just for eating like that, ah, le pruneau d'Agen, delicieux!!!!

Vraiement? En general je prefers les met francais, mais ca ... non.

(J'ai vraiement le gout pour du boudin blanc recemment ... c'est pas disponible en angleterre? On vas a la sud du france en avril, ca sera possible la?)

les mets francais.

Et je m'excuse pour mon francais terrible, tous les accents invisibles, etc etc

mmmmmm le boudin blanc, tu dois pouvoir trouver ca un peu partout je pense, choisis une bonne boucherie-charcuterie!
tu parles super bien, et de toute facon j'ai le meme probleme avec les accents et les cedilles. J'adore MN, on ne sait jamais avec qui on va avoir une conversation en francais!!!
Bon, si tu n'aimes pas les pruneaux comme ca, peut-etre que tu peux t'en servir pour faire du porc aux pruneaux?

cooked a lovely tagine with prunes in the other day..diced lamb, lots of treacle, honey, cinnamon, ginger powder, those ready cooked vacuum packed chestnuts and water. nigella i think. we had it with couscous.

bundy that sounds delicious, I love tagine!
You can also use prunes in Cinnamon Beef stew, will find the recipe

here it is
made it for Xmas eve and it was fab

frenchgirl, it was, it turns very dark almost inky with all the treacle and you put the prunes/chestnuts in near the end but they still go mushy quite a bit. mmmmmmmmm

gosh that looks yummy too i love stews this time of year

j'aime bien du viande avec fruits ... peut-etre je vais essayer ca ...

j'habite a Londres, dans l'est, pas en "froggy valley". On a un deli local, je peut demander a mon ami la si il y a du boudin blanc. Il a des saucisses bizarres des fois, comme saucisses de couteau.

I love those stuffed prune things. Vistited MIL just after christmas - she'd been given some and didn't like them and I scarfed so many she gave me the rest to take home. Strange inversion, eh?

I'll happily post the box to anyone who wants them. Really. If someone else loves them, they should have them.

It's an opened box, I think I ate two. Nobody has pawed the other ones.

can't turn down an offer like that!

haven't yet paid my cash to CAT, but you can email to badgerweasel at hotmail.com
