House of Clement, Jamieson-Cook, Lindow, & Parkhill – Pancakes - £ N/A

Naturally all of us were celebrating the day when Jesus turned Mary Magdalene into a pancake, and we at TWE didn’t want to pass up the chance to do it right. To our minds, this consisted of a midweek knees-up with some friends and the Brit Awards on a big-screen TV. Despite the repeat appearances of a walking piece of roadkill they call “Ed Sheeran” or something, and a depressingly dead-eyed performance from Blur, it was a success.

Naturally there were all the best fillings, Nutella, fruit, ice-cream, ham, syrup etc etc. But the star of the show was definitely our mate Anika’s contribution: a comforting sludge comprised of mushrooms, cream, cheese and obscene quantities of elephant garlic, splatted on a pancake and topped with spinach, more cheese and pinenuts. This was totally delicious, and hit the spot big time. You have to love it when a vegetarian comes through and knocks it out of the park. Although Morgan and I still agree that you can’t beat good old lemon & sugar.

Anyway, happy Lent people, I’m going to give up tramp-wrestling.
