Calorific puds...

Do you have a sweet tooth? Looking for a homemade treat to banish those winter blues? How about Antony Worrall Thompson's Snickers pie recipe which has been panned by health critics for packing a whopping 1,250 calories per slice (half the recommended daily intake for men) a serving equivalent to around 22 teaspoons of fat and 11 teaspoons of sugar? The recipe includes five Snickers bars with mascarpone, eggs, sugar, soft cheese and puff pastry. Although I have accessed this story today on the BBC news website, apparantly, the offending pud was broadcast 2 years ago on Saturday Kitchen. So the question is, do we now have to involve the health police in our kitchens? Can a kids programme not have a sticky unhealthy treat on it? Or are we all so porky and unaware of body limitations that we need to be told the amount of vigorous jogging that will be necessary in order to burn the offending calories in out of bound goodies such as Snickers pie?
Can't answer now, just off to raid the fridge...
