Headed to my son and daughter in laws tomorrow for a big family gathering. My better half always makes a Bunny cake, using an old cake mold that was her mom's. It'll be carefully transported to the festivities.
My oldest grandson likes the ears! Maybe I can use my Boker to cut them off the bunny! :eek:🐇

Fantastic Gary :cool: When I was a kid, rabbit blancmange moulds were very common. I can't remember the last tin I saw one of them, or blancmange for that matter! :D :thumbsup:

My Sunday Sausage Sammich :)

My quick Jimmy Dean sausage, egg and cheese breakfast sandwich. SWMBO is giving me the high sign that it's time to go! Snowing like it's still winter here. Have to bundle up for the Easter egg hunt! :eek:

That's really cool Gary, piece of history there my friend :cool: That looks like a great start to your day, but I'm sorry to hear about the snow, particularly with Easter falling so late this year :( :thumbsup:

Jack, this may be only the second time I've ever heard the word "blancmange", and the first time I ever saw the surprising way it's spelled! :cool::thumbsup: 🤓 The first time I encountered the word was at least 45 years ago in a Monty Python TV sketch in which blancmanges from another galaxy attempted to win the Wimbledon tennis tournament by "absorbing" all the best players so that only players from Scotland remained, and the Scots were notoriously bad tennis players. Back then, I had no luck looking up the word in a dictionary, because of its French roots disconnecting the spelling from the pronunciation.:rolleyes:

You have a good memory Gary! :D I only ever had it coloured, but my father reckoned it was traditionally white. We used to have a pink blancmange bunny on a 'bed' of green jelly (jello) :D It's one of the austerity foods, from WW2, that has disappeared, and is probably unmourned by most ;)

It seems that some of my assumptions about blancmange may have made an ass out of me! :D It appears to be a less parochial dish than I imagined, and still popular with some it seems! :rolleyes:
