Natural or synthetic casings?

natural of course. Was actually a hell of a lot easier than I thought it would be. Now I want a smoker. Chorizo is next on the list

Good man.

Ive always wanted to make dessert sausages.

 

you know, like apple pie or something like that.

 

Dont know if anyone else has ever been stupid enough to try, but it could be a lekker way to get conversation going at a dinner party.

agreed.

 

But imagine a banger and mash looking dessert, but its actually apples and cinnamon and nutmeg in a synthetic casing, loaded on a fine crumble that resembles mash.

 

Would taste great and mess with your head.

Actually the "mince" in Xmas mince pies would work very well. I am liking this idea more and more

So lets see if you guys can help a guy out here.

 

Met a girl that is a qualified chef, she brought me a choc mouse variation of her own in a 'blik beker'.

I'd like to the give the 'beker' back to her with some form of dessert in it.

 

Any suggestions on what I could make that would work well inside the beker or scooped into it?

 

A diamond ring? :ph34r:

Trifle.

Crumble some finger biscuits in the bottom of the mug, then a shot of sweet sherry, layer some tinned fruit on top of that, then some ultra-mel custard. I used to make these in the bush and they were always a winner.

She's a frikkin chef! He at least needs to make his own custard to go on top.

 

( home made ingelegte vrugte would be a better bet than that sickly sweet tinned garbage too...)

He didn't specify his culinary abilities, so I low-balled

True, but he's trying to get in with the chef, so he better up his game...

Thanks guys! Ring will have to wait for now haha thanks V12.

 

Trifle could work but will need to be more artisan than ultra-mel and canned fruit

 

Love food but no chef myself, but I do have capable help so keep the ideas flowing!

Thing is, despite your great intentions, by trying to put your own dessert in there, its almost like "competing"

 

Perhaps, forego the dessert idea and rather do some sort of thank you gift.

 

It will show you care and appreciate, without stepping into her "territory"

 

Even if its a reservation for a restaurant , but you make a joke of it and say something like "i wanted to return this with a dessert, but there is nothing i can make that will match anything you can, so instead, how about a night off" or something cheesy like that.
