Freddos really are an excellent chocolate choice. I’m also quite particular and like to have it in the fridge for a while before eating to ensure a nice crunch. Living in the void of what might have been can be so painful, Emily, and I think anyone who reads this wishes they could find out what Neve thought of a Freddo Special in 8 years time. Perhaps - I hope - that the question of whether Neve would like it will become a way of bringing her to the table in the future and of sharing future food with her, with her sisters and others. Larsen loved pancakes beyond all else and I’m making them this morning - I wonder what Neve thought of pancakes and I’m guessing it would all come down to the topping (not maple syrup!!) xxx
You are not the only one who likes it fridge cold, several others have specified this too! You are absolutely right that pondering what Neve would think about things is a wonderful way for us to keep her name and memory in the present. We often smile when we come across things that Neve would have disapproved of. Pancakes are also a firm favourite here, though usually fat ones rather than crepe style (I am Canadian, so this is what I make!). And yes, Neve had no time for maple syrup and yogurt (which are my toppings of choice, along with fruit). Peanut butter was her preference, though a few months before she died, she managed to convince some nurses that she *always* had peanut butter AND sugar on her pancakes (completely untrue) and from then on, this is what she had. Usually with smoked salmon on the side... I will think about Larsen when we have pancakes. xxxx
I am going to have to try a Freddo!
Fridge cold, seems to be the top tip people have given me recently. Let me know what you think!
