I saw one browsing in living and giving the other day while waiting for my lunchtime guest to turn up, it was more expensive than the southern hospo one, and probably not as good.

DM, you will be there for a month of sundays using one of those, especially if you are doing a number of cherries try this
All you do is suction it to your counter top and fill the hopper with cherries, press the plinger and they are pitted quickly and easily with the pits going into the clear container.

As I said in my post above, I use my olive pitter to stone both cherries and olives- and no you are not there for a month of sundays- it is quick and I don't ever do great quantities at any one time- and I love using it, it is quite a novelty. I am not a huge gadget person for things I don't use often, but my little pitter is very useful and inexpensive.

Ghetto !Have never heard gateaux pronounced as ghetto . only ever gat as in "cat" o as in "oh" . ah black forest gateaux . a tantalising dessert.Although I have sampled some pretty amazing desserts of late.Host an event, invite guests to bring something to share and you can be assured of some taste sensations as everyone brings along a wonderful creation

Nothing wrong with 'gateaux' as in cat-oh ;)
Lots of French words have been borrowed into English and naturally they take on a pronunciation which fits the new language.
For example, only a pretentious twit would say 'Ahvenue' instead of 'Avenue'.

More pithy one-liners.

What is wrong with scones and muffins?

. and maybe bake a "real" Black Forest Gateaux" . AND eat it .

I'm still trying to work out the connection between muffins and scones - scones I definitely see as English but muffins are more of an American thing aren't they!

Nothing at all.It's a sort of reverse cultural cringe ;)
Some immigrants just find it hard to embrace a different cuisine.

Nothing - if you like to eat them ... I just used them as an example that there is no English word for "torte" - so the french "gateaux" gets used - and pronounced English of course - which made me laugh the first time I heard it as it sounded like "ghetto" :)

Actually, uli, I know you're ALWAYS right, but in the interests of linguistic accuracy:
Torte = gateauand Torten = gateaux
Edited to add:You can fiddle with your keyboardoptions and add the circumflex accent, if you like ;)

Attention to detail, uli, is the mark of a conscientious TM trader :)
And, I might add, it's sometimes thought to be a Teutonic quality.

Black Forest Truffles, from a thread asking how to make them.Someone else suggested substituting Black Forest Tim Tams for Mint Slice in that much-posted truffle recipe.
