Knickerbocker

Nice dinner with the in-laws. A running gag between us is that despite their diminutive stature and octogenarian status, both mother and father in-law eat heartily while claiming to have no appetite and that they "don't eat a lot".

Witness then dear Flo, having tanned a large plate of beer-battered fish and chips proceeds to tackle this Knickerbocker Glory. No quarter asked or given, it was demolished.

Of course, like many things, it makes me think of a joke. A man walks into an ice cream parlour and asks for a cone. "Hundreds and thousands?", asks the server. "We'll just start with the one", his reply.
