sorry he doesn't do haggis

Yum!!! Tripe cooked in milk with onions, in a pressure cooker! Food of the gods.

Thats how my husband liked it.
Very good for you too. Low in calories and fat

Margaret, well that is a coincidence about your street, must make you fancy the cake everytimg you write your address lol Hope you can give the cake and almond paste recipe a try sometime.

Yuk, never eaten tripe lol Would have been something my parents had tho, they liked dripping on toast too lol I will eat liver but not keen on much else like that altho remember with one boyfriend years ago he liked stuffed hearts and I used to do those for us and I would eat them I suppose, I really can't remember! I was never too keen on preparing them I know that!

Lizx

150g (5oz) Icing Sugar
150g (5oz) Caster Sugar
300g (10oz) Ground Almonds
1 Medium Egg or 2 Egg Yolks, beaten
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
½ tsp Almond Essence

Sieve the sugars into a bowl
Add ground almonds and mix well.
Add the egg, lemon juice and essence.
Mix together well, to produce a pliable paste.
If too moist, add more sugar, if too stiff, add more lemon juice.
Avoid handling the paste more then necessary.
Use as a coating for cakes.

Margaret, another version of almond paste for your cake.
I do hope you try your hand at making one.

Joanna.
Thank you for that.
I do think YOU should make us all one lol. You sound like a seasoned cake maker

Moi??
Not particularly cakes, but I do enjoy making puddings.
And I have never actually liked Battenburg cake!

Have a look at deliaonline for another recipe for the almond paste.
