Secret Vices

how can anyone like black forest gateau? You must have made that up. It is a joke cake

I think that's Ewan's point: the joy of the naff.

I used to secretly like Sweet too. A decent heavy metal band lumbered with a camp image.

Personally, I'm entering the next phase and turning into my grandad.

It is about the joy of the naff: about how we (I, you, society if you like) look down on what people like. I do it all the time, but what right have I got to do that? I thought I was the bee´s knees the first time I bought a girlfriend dinner in the Berni Inn. We had all those things to eat, it´s not what I´d choose now, but it doesn´t make the memory any less cherished, just slightly embarrassing. Like Sweet.Or enjoying reading Mickey Spillane.

Mine is Heinz Salad Cream!

Good ending.

Mine: sneaking a sip of the pickle juice right from the jar when no one is looking.

I used to love black forest gateau with ice cream and I live in fear of turning in to my father (even being a girl doesn't lessen the fear). Anyone remember Lemon Curd - such a treat!
Didn't know you were so prolific Ewan. So much writing.

Prawn cocktail. My favourite. Or even an Iceland Prawn Ring- even better.
