Umm, yummy

It was Heather's birthday today and we gathered in the conference room to celebrate and eat cake. Usually, these enormous cakes are brightly decorated affairs with lashings of whipped cream but today we had a plain, sweet, sponge with a strange looking grey/brown mesh-like filling..reminded me of bits of used Brillo pad. Not too tempting but I accepted a small portion for the sake of politeness. The first forkful reached my mouth just as someone explained that the filling was meat. A meat cake? I couldn't swallow. Brillo pad would have been better.
