Hello, and welcome to "What's Cooking?" I'm Fanny Cradock. Today, we're going to make a little Chinese dish called Stew Diplomatique.

Take a small colony - your butcher may call it a "territory" to avoid you getting squeamish.

Beat in a fully ripe Governor - shell and all. Remember to remove the hat with the feathers first.

Blend in a spittoon of octogenarian dinosaur wrinklies. Don't buy the Russian ones that are flooding the market at the moment. They may be a bit cheaper, but they just don't have the same bitter taste as the ones from China.

Sprinkle on just a hint of democracy - not too much now - and then sit back and watch my uncle Percy here apply the wooden spoon and give the whole thing a damn good stir.

And the result? Oh dear! ... Well, here's one I prepared 10 years earlier.
