<title>The Brain Teaser From Hell</title>
<description> APPLES (&amp;amp; PEARS) RESTAURANT

Cockney Rhyming Slang has rules and grammar, meanwhile our TV cookery programmes become ever more confusing &amp;amp; pretentious. So let’s merge the two !!

In Cockney Rhyming Slang, we never call the Stairs the Pears, we call them by the none rhyming word, Apples. 

Imagine then, if that non-rhyming word also has to have some link to the word it describes, this could become very complicated, but no more awkward than trying to work out what a “freeze packed cardoman jue” might be. 

So let the fun commence. Below is a menu for Apples (&amp;amp; Pears) Restaurant, represented by the grammar of Cockney Rhyming Slang, try to fathom out what might arrive on your plate. Good luck, see you in sanatorium !!
