Good job Boris likes to have his cake and eat it

Denial Pudding.

I was not aware.
I didn't know.
It didn't happen quite like that.
Guidelines were adhered to.
It wasn't me Miss.
Sir it was Starmer.
Ooh er Matron.
Heavily whipped cream and washed down with lashings of ginger beer.

Or perhaps just good old Eton mess?

The Blue Boar Bar in St James’ do have a genuine cocktail called BORIS ON THE ROCKS

Cachaça, Crème de Mure, Passion Fruit, Elderflower

It sounds sickly I think.

I love these posts! How about its being The Boris Cook the Books Book? and we could add 'Household hints'.
His friends clean up when he dishes out PPE......for instance.
There must be some good household hints we can learn from him. Any ideas?

Colonic irrigation- after speeches !

That's so funny! You have inspired me.
Boris's Hangover Cure (To be used after parties that weren't parties, or you didn't realise were parties whilst you were there, but you got shit-faced anyway)

Take
1 large guffaw
a couple of Urrumphs
2-3 shakes of the head
1 artificial apology
1 sheepish grin (as used when berated by Carrie)
1 shrug of the shoulders.
Mix together. Marinade in a large slug of "I'm a bad boy but you love me" for as long as you want.
Serve any time of the day or night when a journalist appears.

I bet dear Phoenix would have come up with some amusing additions.

EllanVannin Sun 30-Jan-22 13:56:42

A large pinch of bi-carb in the mix---to assist the wind-bags.

I am not clever enough to add to this but THANK YOU!

Add a good layer of marzipan as a cover up.

Add some Gaviscon as this cake is unpalatable to most.

* onto a wire tray

grin

* Choose a robust 7" tin to withstand the hard bashes,
* sieve out and discard all the lumpy components,
* add sultanas and almonds to make it as nutty as a fruit cake, and after emptying the cake onto beat your own drum with a wooden spoon
* hide it in the refrigerator to cool off

Its all so painful as we learn more and more about the culture and behaviour in Downing Street - but I hope you may enjoy my recipe for Boris' Ambush Cake. Please add your thoughts or other recipes for The Boris Cook Book.

Recipe for Ambush Cake

This cake is quick and sleazy to make.
Take equal parts of
•Self-Praising Flour
•Sugar (as sweeteners for donors and friends)
•Butter (to butter up wavering supporters)
•One very large ego
Beat together with snappy popular slogans
Add a teaspoonful of mixed lies
Whip in any remaining waverers
Bake in the heat of confected indignation, add “I usually get away with it” as the icing on the cake, and serve.
Note: this cake may have a bitter after-taste.
