Had a wonderful time in Stroud last weekend, staying with my gorgeous chums Gary and Colin. Gary is the BEST COOK and he cooked three incredible meals for us, such a treat to be cooked for… On Saturday night I was sous-chef as the King of Canapés prepared these gorgeous extravaganzas…
Mmmmmm – scrumptious.
We left with two beautiful lettuces and a big bunch of rhubarb from the garden.
The lettuces have been scoffed, mostly accompanied by Deanna Durbin’s Santa Monica Dressing and I rustled the rhubarb up into a strudel – but not as we know it.
It’s been a while since I made something WEIRD for the Silver Screen Suppers project, but I hereby present to you, Allen Jenkins’ recipe for Rhubarb Strudel…
Basically, cornflakes, rhubarb, sugar, orange juice and orange peel, layered and baked. Well, I have quite a lot of bran flakes left over from the Diana Dors’ Breakfast Crunch recipe so I decided to use these rather than buy some cornflakes…
And how did it turn out? Well, not very photogenic, but actually very tasty.
I’m not sure I would make this as a dessert to serve to guests, but as it involves cornflakes / bran flakes, it’s pretty good for an unusual breakfast I think…
Thanks Allen, mad recipe but good! And what else is mad? This photo features Allen’s cat Smiley who spent a night in jail after the pair of them were arrested for drunk driving. Allen claimed it was the cat, rather than he, at the wheel. How do I know this? Thanks to a great new discovery – www.cinemacats.com – brilliant!
