You were the one who brought the subject up! Naughty young person ^_^

I didn't bring up the toes or licking at all! That was someone else on the previous page that I can't be bothered to look back at at this moment.

Honestly, I have no idea what we're talking about at all.

Spoken as someone who's never had clotted cream, eh evil? ;)

Ah, clotted cream... I wish my not-girlfriend were reading this! Or possibly not.

Are we going to reach a consensus on cream versus chocolate versus honey? Will the thread survive? Can Bananaman save the day? Can Shatner sing the blues?

Of course the thread will survive! It will mutate/evolve into something beautiful with a life and purpose of its own.

Bananaman - yes!

Shatner - why should he be able to sing the blues? You, by your own admission are a Shatner afficionado, so why do you think that there may be one genre that he can sing?

(As mrs. SkidMarks prefers chocolate {for eating of course} I vote that the whole cream/chocolate/honey thing is only of concern at the treehouse)

The Treehouse? I have yet to dare entry to that edifice. It's length and breadth is intimidating and yet is lurks seductively. No good can come of the Treehouse.

Cadbury's have introduced a Tiramisu chocolate.

Has anyone licked any of this from any parts of a human anatomy yet?

I propose that since the words "human anatomy" are used so often in conjunction that we join them: humanatomy. It has an unfortunate superficial similarity to words like appendectomy and vasectomy, but I feel that a public education program could eliminate this.

Also: Bibwit: Which line would this be? The one we painted over because it was getting so scuffed from being walked on?

Oh! So that is what that smudge was! I always thought it was spilled cream.


<and for your information, I have had clotted cream, that blend of sour and sweet cream called ripe cream/creme somethingstartingwith F. Yet I really don't like cream>

Cream is an acquired taste and I never acquired it. Even now I shudder when people eat cream cakes. They're just awful and full of nothing!

Definitely chocolate with bananas! I guess it all comes down to the texture that you are after - sticky honey, silky smooth cream, melt in the mouth chocolate. Humm, where'd the chocolate go ....

I think that this may be down to DangerMouse to save the thread!

In a restaurant on the Edgeware Road, just up from Oxford St, I had what was called a 'Pancake Surprise'.

When the waiter brought it out it stopped all conversation in the place.

It was a largish dinner plate sized tray with wafers, cream, ice cream and some fruit salad. It was delicious, but difficult to eat between the laughter episodes.

Still the lady with whom I was with at the time has been my wife for over quarter of a century, so don't disparage cream.

I won't disparage it, I just dislike it. Possibly coconut chocolate would be really good in this context. Yum.

Why isn't Banana Man in my dvd collection?
And why isn't Dangermouse?
And why isn't The Trap Door?

Because you bought the complete "Roger Ramjet" collection.

How could you not have Bananaman?! The shame of it all! Don't you know he has the strength of twenty men? Sorry, the strength of twenty BIG men!

Condensed milk on toast. Nyummy....

I had pancake surprise once. They used pepper instead of cinnamon.

I used to make holes in pancakes in order to make masks, does that count?

I didn't realise that Bananaman and DangerMouse were available on DVD, now I'm going to have to go shopping! What was that series the Rick Mayall hosted? The one that he sat in the armchair with "real" legs and told fairy tales with strange twists?

There was a series called "Grim Tales" - six stories read by Rik Mayall and acted out by puppets. That might be the one you are looking for, CanRab.
