My great grandmother used to make an amazing Apple Roll. I have tried to copy it but haven't got it quite the same as hers yet.

You probably don't have the pastry skills she did and the apples won't be the same either

I don't think you're Robinson Crusoe there.
What it is I don't know but lots of people have said the same thing to me. I've given up, either there's too much fat or no flavour or tastes artificial or something.
But then other people will say go here, go there they make great sausages. Not that I find.

BTW, no criticism intended re apple
roll

It was terrible. The sausage was disgusting and I had to throw it away. BTW no offence taken.

Cut stale bread into 2 bits, break a couple of eggs into a bowl, add a little bit of milk. Then dip the bread into the mix then into a frying pan and cook both sides until brownish. Serve with good old Tomato Sauce. Yum if you are feeling lazy and have some stale bread.

It was, as I recall, jelly almost set then whipped up with the (hand held) beater thingie. I remember also a dessert that was layers of fruit, custard, flummery and cake ... sort of like a Trifle but minus the booze.

Some weeks might be good but it's turned me off snags for awhile.

Don't know about the boozeless trifle but I think flummery is whipped evaporated milk with either jelly or gelatine and fruit. I remember pineapple flummery, I think lol.

Remember that I was raised in Victoria .... lots of things were (and still are) named differently down there to NSW. For example, spinach and silver beet! Scallops (fish) and Scallops (potato cakes).

Not that it matters all that much. Grin

Spinach is the shorter English style but we tend to have Silverbeet growing here more readily. I call them both Spinach regardless I don't know what they have in Victoria but in NSW there are 2 kinds of scallop. A potato one and a clam related one. I thought all states would have the same.
