The great thing about this kind of cooking is that it uses up whatever ingredients you have to hand - every home will have it's own version or favourite.

I really don't have a sweet tooth - I prefer very dark chocolate and fruits like rhubarb and gooseberries -though I am partial to raspberries.
I don't think you can beat a rhubarb fool as a dessert.

Things like Tiramisù (which means "pick me up") I find far too sweet -give me a sherry trifle every time, or a proper apple pie or my absolute favourite a custard tart...(begin to think i do actually like sweets after all)
