    oops...hit return too soon......
    ."..passing on some of her huge collection of tasty and above all interesting recipes, since everyone else is doing it. But in addition to the delights of the Strawberry Wobbler and Nobby's Mum's Distressed Pudding, Mrs. Ogg imparts her thoughts on life, death, etiquette ('If you go to other people's funerals they'll be sure to come to yours'), courtship, children and weddings, all lin a refined style that should not offend the most delicat of sensibilities. Well, not much. Most of the recipes have been tried out on people who are still alive"

    It has a few chuckles as well as a few "EEEEEWWWWWA" in it.

      I've had it for about a year--there's some great stuff in it! Not, IMO, as good as the novels, but it's a necessary part of my collection.

      My fave is probably the Librarian's recipe for Bananananas.

      "ook."
