...takes two or three days to prepare. It involves using a dyson, several plastic bags, a cocktail shaker, paint rollers and trays, an aerosol spray, lots of banging things on counters and sweat. This homage to Seventies kitsch cooking takes so much effort to make that you would actually lose weight just making it. However, I think Heston is missing a trick here. All the layers in his gateau have a perfectly acceptable, ready made, authentically 1970s equivalent which means you could knock together a Blumenthaley-stylee-gateau in about ten minutes and save a load of money. So here is my alternative recipe: For the biscuit base - use two or four Jaffa Cakes (this saves you having to make the apricot compote) Place a bar of milk chocolate Aero on the top of the base Add a layer of chocolate Instant Whip Add some cherries (glace or tinned) Add a good thick slice of chocolate Swiss Roll which has been soaked in kirsch Add another Aero (optional) Add another layer of Instant Whip Add some

It is their annual outing or, 'Flyaway Day' to give it its proper name. they all have a picnic, exchange the latest buzz, wander about just like humans on a promenade, and then they go home.
Ants generally live in little holes in the ground or in hills, but then they can be removed rather easily by knocking down the hill which is why they are called termites (easy to terminate)
Flying ants like flying aunts only visit rarely and then for short periods.
I hope this helps.
