Tongue Twister

| No Comments | No TrackBacks
I recently discovered that Woolworths sell my childhood favourite cake: Hedgehog Slice. In North American, its like crushed cookies swirled into a coconut chocolate fudge brownie with chocolate icing. Sadly, some baking companies also label this as "chocolate fudge", which is a completely different confection. I faithfully followed a "chocolate fudge" recipe when I was very small, perhaps six, and was bitterly disappointed that when I finished, I didn't end up with Hedgehog slice. Scarred me for life. My mother still teases me by buying me actual chocolate fudge occasionally... I found a cooking free receipe at http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/alabaster/A765948 Most of the receipies on the web wrongly instruct you to mix in some kind of nuts, which ruins the whole endeavour. Shredded coconut should be the closest any kind of nut gets to my hedgehog slice. The things that LOOK like nuts are actually biscut pieces. This has prompted a tongue twister, which bodes well for the healing of the ciguatera poison induced damage to my speech centres: "How many eggs would a hedgehog hog if a hedgehog could hog eggs?"
