Rasberry Charlotte

We has friends for lunch. We supplied the pork fillet and they brought a raspberry charlottte which was delicious. Wiki says there is a lot of doubt surrounding the origins of the name charlotte. Despite the fact that charlottes are served across Europe, one etymology suggests it is a corruption of the Old English word charlyt meaning "a dish of custard". Meat dishes that were known as charlets were popular in the 15th century. Other historians say that this sweet dish took its name from Queen Charlotte (1744–1818), wife of George III of the United Kingdom.[4][5] It is possible that the dessert takes its name from Alexander I's sister-in-law, Charlotte of Prussia.

I should be going for a walk tomorrow but I shall play it by ear. I am still struggling with a cough and the remnants of a cold which may have become a chest infection. A month seems a long time to fight it off so if it does not disappear soon, it may be a visit to the doc.
