Food in the theme of "double"?

individual twice baked souffles are wonderful.. you can make them, take them out of their remakins, and freeze them for later use. If you want to use same day, just reheat on a baking sheet andthey puff up beautifully..I have only ever done savoury ones chevre, roquefort, etc. pretty sure a sweet would work.

Where's Our Wall of Sardines?

I was 7 and desperately wanting to impress my 14 yer old cousin. My mum took us for lunch at the Tudor Tea Rooms in Sevenoaks. Being 1965,all the "Ladies who Lunch" were in pillbox hats and white gloves. I ordered sardines on toast. Refusing offers of help and waning to be a big girl I tried cutting my meal and succeeded in having the entire plate slide off the highly polished table, across the equally polished floor and come to rest under the Welsh dresser. This caused a collective "Tsk Tsk" from the chapeuded ladies, a glare from the waitress, and an empty tummy for me!
These days I enjoy my fishy friends directly from the tin,one of my guilty pleasures, reminiscent of Proust and his madeleines.

Question of the Day: What's your earliest food-related memory?

My Mum making chips with salt & vinegar served in brown paper lunch bags and eaten on our front steps..apple fritters served up with sugar also in bags and enjoyed on the steps. I was 4 and we had just arrived from England. Mum had a hard time finding cookies( what we knew as biscuits) I remember her taking back a package of pilsbury biscuits becuase they were raw..oh the look on her face when she wacked the canister and the dough popped out. Sunday morning breakfast bacon eggs, fried bread ,tomatoes and mushrooms. Sunday ..unch ryoast beef roast potaoesoirkshire pudding., and coma inducing sugar laded trifle The end of the fresh loaf from the local italian bakery eaten warm whle walking home. Pierogies fried in butter by our Polish neighbour. Homemade blueberry blintzes by our neighbourhood Jewish grandma. This trip down foo memory lane has made me hungry!1
