Whilst deciding what to make on this very humid day I decided to check out some of my archived recipes and I found this little gem. I have very fond memories of this recipe which I was introduced to whilst on  a six month tour of Canada in 1982 at B.A.T.U.S which stands for British Army Training Unit  Suffield that was the official  name to all of us it actually stood for British Alcoholic Training Unit Suffield, and believe me it was.I was shown this recipe by a little old lady who was a farmers wife who was absolutely amazing when it came to making deserts and soups that were to die for made with almost anything you could imagine.During my time in Canada I was fortunate to go A.W.O.L and I say fortunate because two of us hitch hiked over 2,500 miles across  Canada starting from Medicine Hat ( Alberta ) And finishing up in Sudbury(Ontario)passing through some amazing places with Moose jaw,Regina,Brandon and   Winnipeg to name just a few of some of the plac...

I now wan't to bring you a recipe that I am very keen on but unfortunately I don't get to make very often as none of my family actually like coffee. In fact I can remember doing this recipe several times for dinner nights in the Officers mess and it went down a treat I can tell you,And this blog was my ideal chance to make this dish again all for me.While doing this dish I decided to find out a little bit more about coffee and in particular coffee houses and I was surprised at what I found out so I thought I would share a little bit of that with you taken from Wikipedia.   Most widely known as coffee-houses or caf�s, establishments serving prepared coffee or other hot beverages have existed for over five hundred years.
