TABLEtalk - How to Bake a Lazy Cake

It was all about FOOD at TABLEtalk last night 😀😀

Our evening culminated with a somewhat cultural, vaguely food related quiz  ...  trying to guess the meaning behind various Cockney Rhyming slang phrases.  This was a language used in east London, largely among the market stall holders, and also possibly amongst criminal gangs.  I wonder if you can guess the correct word?  Remember folks, it's all about the rhyme!!!

1. Bread & cheese

2. Loaf of bread

3. Mince pies

4. Brown bread

5. Tea leaf

6. Jam jar

7. Currant bun

8. Apples & pears

9. Bread & honey

10. Baked bean

See answers at the end of this post 😀

Prior to our quiz though ... our catch up question of the week was based around the question: "What is the most awful thing you've ever had to eat?"  

As we talked about some of our responses to the ice-breaker, which varied from liver and marmite to chickens feet and durian (stinky fruit).

Aiste led us through how to make a lazy cake. Several of us were in our kitchens, complete with laptop, apron and ingredients, ready to follow along.

Here's an image of mine ...
