    Swine are preferable to most birds, come to it.

    Swine are preferable to a lot of things.
    A lot of people, for example.

    - lots of MSG and other cool ranchy stuff. That
    started me on a several-day binge of unhealthful
    things that have put me in a sorry edematous
    condition that requires extra doses of Lasix.
    Uck, all the way around. I ate those Doritos once and wouldn't do it
    twice.

    I actually take pleasure from them, in a way.
    Today's breakfast was Paqui nacho cheese flavored
    tortilla chips, surprisingly satisfying. Well.
    that was after half a pound of blackberries and
    some Nestle's hot chocolate with marshmallows.

    Title: Prune Pudding
    Prune Whip is a family tradition for Christmas in Mom's family. The tradition is some love it and some people won't even try it. Call it
    dried plum souffle and it may fly better. My grandmother picked it
    up working for a Jewish family in New York prior to WWI. It was a
    Passover recipe until she used it for Christmas.

    Dried plums is an accurate enough name, but
    semi-dried plums (pruneaux d'Agen) would be
    better. Prune juice has given the fruit a bad
    name. Also Pruneface, prune compote, and so on.

    I found this copy on Allrecipes attributed to someone else, but it's
    the same one in the 1950s Betty Crocker.
    Prune Whip
    Rated as 3.75 out of 5 Stars
    "An old-fashioned classic, this one sure brings back the memories."

    I guess nostalgia rates a 3.75.

    Peppermint Patty's Prune Whip
    categories: cartoon, laxative
    servings: 6

    1 lb pk dried prunes
    Water to cover
    1/3 c sugar
    1/2 pt whipping cream
    Sugar to taste
    1/2 ts vanilla

    Soak prunes for at least an hour in the water.
    Add sugar, bring to a boil, and simmer covered
    for 1 hr or until prunes are puffy and tender.
    Cool. Cut each prune in quarters, removing
    seeds. Chill in refrigerator.

    Beat cream until it begins to thicken, add
    1/2 to 1 ts sugar and the vanilla. Fold in
    chilled prunes.

    I've never known why they call some humans pigs; it's an insult to
    the pigs.

    That would get the job done. So will those blackberry seeds.

    I actually like prunes. No fat, no salt, and no added sugars. And
    they taste good.

    Add the whipped cream and it's actually pretty darned good. No
    whipped cream... no point.
