    Peruvian? Does this involve lots of honey?

    No, but a reasonable amount of ceviche.

    I'm wondering if Andy meant marmalade.

    I'm down there in a couple of weeks at a conference. I went down for the same show a couple of years ago and went drinking in the city with a friend who lives there, my last memory was drinking habanero gin in a Filipino cocktail bar in a basement and then I woke up in a movie theatre halfway through Guardians Of The Galaxy 3. I like DC, it's fun.

    Probably cheaper than booking a room.

    Really fun place, we may consider it as an option to move to, after A has gone to college.

    Here's my recipe for possibly the easiest, but best bang per buck, chocolate mouse you can make in quarter of an hour (then wait for it to set properly in the fridge).

    100g dark chocolate - supermarket cheap 'essentials' or 'saver' stuff is fine.
    50ml boiling water.
    100-150g greek (style) yogurt - can be zero fat, full fat, or anywhere in between
    pinch salt
    pinch of chilli powder

    Boil a kettle, get two mixing bowls (or a pan and a mixing bowl) one bigger than the other by a bit. Still in it's packet bash the chocolate with a tenderising mallet, or other blunt instrument, to break it up but not damage the packet. Pour the broken up chocolate into the smaller mixing bowl. Add the salt and chilli (to taste, but don't go mad). When the kettle boils put 50ml in the chocolate mixture, and half fill the bigger bowl....put the smaller bowl inm the water in the bigger bowl and stir the chocolate mixture until it melts and emulsifies. Wont be long....a minute normally does it....just make sure the chocolate is fully melted and the ganache is glossy and smooth. Add the yogurt of your choice (volume and type). Stir in until fully integrated, but don't beat the life out of it.

    Pour into ramekins (two for a big portion, three for a normal one), cover and chill for an hour....will stay in the fridge for a couple of days easily. I've not had one last long enough to go off yet.

    It should have taken you about five minutes more than a kettle boiling, and will take you five minutes to lick the bowl clean, and wash/clean up. The hardest thing is waiting an hour. You can vary the chilli, salt, and yogurt, until you hit your own particular sweet spot...but don't piss about with the chocolate/water ganache bit too much.

    Is it still a mousse if you swap the egg whites for yoghurt, or have you just made a chocolate flavoured yoghurt?

    Don't ask me, I don't even know what a curry is.

    A mousse is a soft prepared dessert that incorporates air bubbles to give it a light and airy texture. There is no requirement for a specific ingredient. What this has got to do with anything when I clearly stated that it was a recipe for a chocolate mouse*, I don't know.

    * Sorry for the lie. Not very mouse like at all.

    After wanting to go to the legendary Pied Au Cochon in Montreal for many years, I finally got there. Abandoned my normally pretty restrictive diet to just try all the big things they're known for - it's a very meat forward restaurant and I don't eat a lot of meat, but we had pig's trotter, duck in a can (literally a duck breast cooked and served in a tin can, along with foie gras and an incredibly rich gravy), and duck magret. The magret was excellent but the pig's trotter and duck in a can were fatty and unpleasant and overly rich. I ate more saturated fat in one meal than I would normally consume in a week and it made me feel quite ill.

    Glad I went and tried it, will never go again.
