I found a lovely recipe the other day, and one with an unexpected ingredient. It's a recipe for chocolate torte, but it contains avocado! Needless to say, I had to make it to see what would happen. The first time I got so distracted by trying to convert measurements from American that I forgot to put the avocado in. It's confusing enough in Britain with Imperial and Metric without having to try to work out what a "cup" means. I'd say we're a simple people, but maybe I'm just simple. Anyway, effort the second worked out wonderfully well. I've even tested it on volunteers, and they loved it. I followed a couple of the suggestions at the foot of the recipe, adding a layer of kirsch-infused cherries and vegan vanilla ice cream. The recipe's here if you fancy giving it a go. As ever there's a wee Guardsman to provide scale - he ain't getting any!
