Let's not mess around: you want trashy, I'll give you trashy - I'll give you the King. This recipe, for want of a better word, comes from a rhinestone gem of a cookbook, Are You Hungry Tonight?, a collection of his favourite foodstuffs bought on a visit to Graceland many years back, prized ever since and a delight from cover to cover. Even my most recent addition to a library already bursting with bad-taste titles, Liberace Cooks!, can't lose him his crown.

Believe it or not, the quantities below appear in edited, attenuated form. I honour the King but I can't be him.

  • Yes, I want trashy! What a wonderful take on the peanut butter sandwich. The Americans really know how to do grease don't they? Now I know what made Elvis the man he was... I will definitely try this. Piggy Fair
