Yes but you can't just pop out to the shops and buy essence of raspberry can you?  noooo:

I had my first Christmas not at home last year, do you have any idea how hard it is to track down the right sort of rabbit mold? Took me five sets of bids on ebay!

Not sure that any thread that runs to more than 1 page ever stays on topic.

It had to be the right sort of shape and none of those are. I picked one up for ?6 in the end. Thanks for the fruit link though.

Originally I was moaning about school uniforms and the urgent need to pacify Mrs Snoopy with the purchase of large quantities of same today.
Seems that then Nick got hung up about the thought of my 14yo daughter's underwear and swiftly moved (no doubt by some mammary memory brought on by Berek's pictorial contribution) to his introducing the subject of blancmange. Wench chimed in with some happy childhood memories of Blancmange in bunny shaped moulds, there was a quick aside concerning Rabbits of a different nature before we got back to the Blancmange and raspberry cordial. At that point I sort of gave up because some workmen due on Monday next arrived to remove our old oil storage tank and I am now engaged in a heated debate about the base required for the new tank which they tell me is on route. It cannot however be fitted without a base which seems to have escaped their attention despite it being clearly stated in the agreed schedule of work.
The workmen having arrived all thought of a happy(?) afternoon in M&S et al have gone by the board.

As for my suggested bunny moulds being the wrong shape ~ what f***ing shapes do bunnies come in?

OK? All up to date now?

Onward and upward!

At first glance I thought that bunny would was some sort of breastplate. It has nipples on its ears.

It had to be the exact same shape as Mother Wench's bunny. She and her three sisters were all furnished with the same one and it is that paticular bunny that always graces the Christmas table. I don't pretend that it is logical.  redface:

Look .... to fill a mould you have to place it upside down.... with me so far. The "nipples" that you see are to ensure that the bunny mould will sit flat on a work surface so that you can pour in the jelly or blancmange where it will set.
Are you sure you are not still thinking of my daughter in a platform bra?  evil:
