you could pretend a badger has pooed on the carpet. How your family will laugh

Is it because they resemble what you imagine a badger poo to look like?

milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk · 16/05/2008 19:53

sorry....maybe I was abit to quick to be mean!

Snort at Pointy.

Chill in fridge, add a good slug of brandy (optional), eat with thick cold greek yogurt.

Or swap with me for a tin of that complete breakfast in a tin that DP bought.

At least then you will know that worse things can come in a tin!

milkgoddessmakesthefinestmilk · 16/05/2008 19:59

the cake or ice cream might be ok.....

thankyou for links

Every morning I take about 12 tinned prunes with greek yoghurt for breakfast tastes delicious and also extremely healthy Paddymckillen

I love prunes. I would have with greek yoghurt, granola and a spoon of honey for breakfast.

marylou25 · 14/05/2023 16:45

Google prune brownies, great way of using up a tin and making slightly more healthy brownies, you puree them and use instead of all the fat/sugar.

Decant them into a clean jar. Top up with brandy to keep covered if you have to. Then you only need to take a couple at a time. I have a jar that must be about 5 years old as I usually only use a few at Christmas for my pan forte and fruit cake. They are fine.

You can add them to a rich beef stew, they sort of melt into the gravy. And isn’t there a thing about pork with prunes?

I hope the tin from 2008 this zombie thread was about has been used!
