This is why "cavalier cookery" is one of my interests

[kaberett]

To my dismay, this afternoon I noticed that someone had dumped 6 bananas (still in their plastic bag, even!) in the bin in the college kitchen, because they were just beginning to turn brown. Further, we had most of a pot of extra-thick double cream we'd bought in order to eat with plum pie.

So I hoiked them out, and L. and t. and roommates and I promptly made GLORIOUS DISASTER FOOD.

First off, we made banana bread.

This left me with most of a pot of buttermilk, which I'd had hanging around... so while the banana bread was cooking I used the rest up in buttermilk scones.

... and then L. mashed up the two remaining bananas with the double cream and our last three eggs and ALL THE SUGAR.

Once the banana bread had been turned out and cooled, we sliced it up, layered it in an oven-proof dish with slips of salted butter between each slice, poured the custard over it, and sprinkled the top with demerara sugar and mixed candied peel, then baked at 180degC/GM4 until the top had gone crunchy.

... it was amazing okay.

Oh. I assumed it meant you liked to cook royalists, or food in the style approved of by royalists. (Or I guess people from the American South, since they apparently used to think they were royalists.)

I thought the same. Oh dear.

(I am guessing now you will go and look for Royalist-approved food? As presumably Royalists do not approve of being cooked themselves)
