SALLY HERBERT, USA
One evening at Chikoko in Zambia, we were presented with a trifle for pudding. It was rectangular, with fruit and green jelly underneath, custard and cream on top and it was decorated with cherries and blobs of green jelly.
“Is Patson your chef?” I asked our host. He was rather taken aback by this. But, yes, he said, Patson was indeed the chef. I explained that two years earlier we had had an amazing brunch above the bank at the Mwaleshi and Luangwa confluence, and Patson had produced an identical trifle.
The chef was delighted that we had remembered both his trifle and his name.
