A can of condensed milk (eaten with spoon, the whole can) has to be
high on my mental list called The End is Nigh menu. That's all the
deliciously rich unhealthy booze cholesterol chocolate and fat laden
treats we virtuously ration for decades to stay healthy and fit.
Once it's all too late and the Dr says "Sorry, no more we can do" I
intend to pig my way through the End is Nigh list as many times as
possible. Even if it kills me, LOL; way to go.
Loved the jelleyfish version though!

I'm waiting for spring when the nettles start to grow, when Grandchild
wants to make his invented recipe "Potato cheese and nettle pie".
My granny used to cook fresh nettles in spring to "cleanse the blood"
whatever that meant.
