Yeah, baby. BANOFFEE PIE! Juicy bananas, cream and a crumbly toffee base! If you don't love banoffee pie then you've clearly burned each and every single taste bud in your mouth -- or you're dead.It's so popular it was even featured in one of my all-time favourite films, Love Actually, when Juliet (the wife of Mark's best friend and the woman of Mark's dreams), goes round to ask for his video of her wedding day.
Juliet: Thank God. You would've broken my heart if you'd said yes.
Mark: Oh, right. Well, lucky you.
Life just wouldn't be the same without it.
And on other sweet notes, I got some awards this week! Yay!
Thanks to the lovely Amy Saia, who gave me the Bold Faced Liar award. Since I've already had great fun at lying, I'm going to pass this on to:Office Girl from Tired but Writing

Hey Talli. I love Banoffee Pie too. Its a sugar rush on a plate. yum. I gave you an award today too:)
ReplyDeleteWhat! No recipe? Never heard of Banoffee Pie. It sounds like a combo of banana and coffee, but I guess it's the bananas and toffee, which, of course, is even better.
