An interesting combo
Home economics, Year 9 - we'd been set the challenge of cooking something traditional yet, because we'd been exploring texture, adding something with a very different texture to add to the eating experience. Or some bullshit.

Brains here totally forgot about the texture thing, so a matter of minutes before the class, I was rifling through my ingredients for cauliflower cheese and panicking - until I improvised with a handy little something I found in my locker.

Taking it home that night, I gleefully watched as mum warmed it up in the oven and both my parents tucked in with that false gusto reserved for patronising children's efforts even when you know it isn't going to be very good. That all changed rather quickly as both their faces changed to ones of confusion, terror and finally disgust. My dad was sick in the bin, while my mum spat hers back onto the plate.

Top tip - Cauliflower cheese with chocolate covered peanuts dropped in does not a good combo make.

Length? About 25 minutes at gas mark 6.
