Tim Tam Dangerous Liaisons Chilli Choc Fling is a tongue tickling chilli chocolate cream nestled between chocolate biscuits, wrapped in a layer of smooth, dark chocolate... It’s a sensation your tastebuds won’t forget.
.... we found these a little hot but it only limits me to 1 biscuit at a time, which can be a good thing for the waistline. LOL

Could not find a chocolate cookie with chili but found this one in the cookbook.
This recipe credit is to Edward Nignon. He cooked for Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria, Czar Nicholas II of Russia and President Woodrow Wilson.
His dessert is outstanding.
Buy wafer thin round chocolate cookies. Cover the inside of one chocolate cookie with about one fourth of an inch of sweetened vanilla flavored whipped cream. Place the cookie in a dessert dish, whipped cream side up. Place a chocolate cookie on top of the whipped cream and cover its top with another one fourth of an inch of wihipped cream. repeat until you have six chocolate cookies stacked one on top of the other with a one fourth inch layer of whipped cream between each cookie.
Place in a refrigerator overnight. The whipped cream will soften the chocolate cookies but will not cause them to crumble. Serve as soon as removed from the refrigerator. Place a circle of red currant jelly around the base of each tower just before serving. Eat this dessert with a spoon Take a piece of chocolate cookie, whipped cream and current jelly on each spoonful.

My mom used to make a dessert log out of chocolate wafer cookies and whipped cream like that! I think she coated it with more whipped cream and dusted it with cocoa?

I bet cinnamon would be good to add between the layers.

I use nutmeg with quiche a lot and think adding it to chicken would be good too.

I think Mexican cooking uses chocolate in red sauces a mole (pronounced mo-lay).

Sueanne, why sexual pictures? Does the word Bull in the title mean anything special? I was a little confused on that part.

Bull Cook refers to the cook, in a chuck wagon, lumber camp or fishing & hunting lodge.

Does show naked drawings. Renoir's painting the bather was painted in 1881. Renoir enjoyed painting nude women. His wife even posed as his model until she became too plump. Most of his paintings were of nude woman.
His favorite dessert named after him was Dessert Renoir.

Also shows native women bare breasted.

Most of them are in good taste otherwise I am sure the book would not have been so well read.

The biographies of important men and their lives was interesting. So were he recipes named after them.
