Thanx for that Carol. I would never knowingly eat food cooked with alcohol, either, though I have on a couple of occasions done it mistakenly, last time being last month, at a family silver wedding party.

I LOVE trifle, and took two dishes of it for me and my partner, never thinking that MOST people lace trifle with sherry!! One small taste had me almost puking!!

I asked the party hostess if there were any trifles WITHOUT sherry, and was told YES there IS one, but I am not sure which one, so my cousin said, "Come on, I know how much you love your trifle, I wll taste ALL of them, 'cos there's no way you are going to undo all the hard work you have done to stay sober on one bowl of sherry trifle!!"

I have often heard recovering alkies say that if the booze is in a dish which is cooked, all the alcohol is burned off!!!! DON'T believe this!!

I always ask when invited out for a set meal "Will there be any alcohol used in the cooking of it?" and if there is I won't go.
