Hello Mango fans. It’s Wednesday, it’s blog day and it’s
sunny which makes it time to cook up a Joy in the Hole.
Joy in the Hole was invented by The Right Honourable Lord
Winchester Faggot Jr the 2nd Earl of Twelchford during a prolonged
game of Dandy Racket Ball. In his first book Peering into Peerage and other essays (see Appendix 1), Lord
Winchester had this to say about its creation:
“It was a fine summer’s day, high on life and opium. We
were joined by The Tertiary Twins a set of identical triplets, two joined from
the hip to torso and sharing the same liver - a constant source of argument,
one was fond of the drink, the other was a great believer in temperance but
both agreed on being arduous bores. The other sister who didn’t look like her
siblings despite being identical to them, was radiant. The type of beautiful
you see occasionally whilst musing over the Reader’s Digest in the WC, but
never in a public house or amongst one’s peers. Since the cook was away for the
weekend, I took her in to the kitchen and, finding only left overs, I utilised
them to make some Joy in the Hole.”
He completely forgets mention what the ingredients and
the cooking method are. We believe it’s similar to an upside down cake, but the
right way up. What we know for sure is that the pastry based comestible took
London by storm. Jack Rat, a famous satirist of the time wrote this poem:
On a heady evening
stroll
In the streets the
crowds cajole
That those who
languish on the dole
Delight in
fulfilling their only goal:
To share in the
glee of Joy in the Hole.
Nowadays Joy in the Hole has fallen out of fashion, a lot
like laudanum and Madonna’s sex appeal. We’ve Become Mango like to indulge
whenever possible, however, and we’re always happy to share with our adoring
fans. Find us on Facebook and Twitter (@wevebecomemango) for more information!
Queef you later folks.
