This is an Edwardian recipe that my grandmother utilised to make. She was initially from Cape City, South Africa in which her father was the proprietor of a bookstore. She was the oldest of 6 little ones who went to England each and every summer months and played cards all the way up and back again on the ship When she was 15 her father died even while as she says, she "ran as rapid as she could to get the health practitioner."

Her mother emigrated to Canada with the young people wherever they settled in Vancouver. In her early 20's my grandmother eloped to marry a tall handsome Irishman who joined the Western Irish and who was later was wounded at Vimy (WW1). Not believing that everybody could consider suitable care of her husband she got herself across Canada and on to a troop ship (which was practically unheard of) and arrived in England wherever he was in hospital. She brought him home where he died of his wound two several years afterwards.

This very small decided woman brought up her son (my dad) making an attempt to always keep him "in line" all the while adoring him and observing him proudly forge in advance.

When he moved to Toronto she reluctantly "came East" to be with her grandchildren, leaving behind the mountains of Vancouver for the flat landscape of Ontario. When I was in grade school she and I had lunch with each other 2 times a week and as I do not forget those lunches - she cherished to play cards and failed to much like to cook, but she did have a few exceptional recipes: curry from The Cape, Jell-o in contrasting colors and this ice cream recipe.
