フランス語ですって。そうか、国王によってはチキンだったりするのね。面白い。

heap

意味　(くだけた話)[～s/a ～ of A]たくさんの A, 多量 [数] の A (a lot of A)

Yes, these are two of the key ingredients in Charles’ quiche, along with a good heap of tarragon, lots of cheese (always good) and all the usual other bits and bobs you need to make a decent flan.

cobble

意味　(くだけて· 否定的に)〈物〉を急ごしらえする (up), 〈取り決めなど〉を早急にまとめる (together).

Either way, I manage to cobble it together and then blind bake, in the meantime microwaving the life out of my spinach and beans to make sure they are cooked and ready to roll.

decent

意味　(くだけて)[通例[名]の前で]まずまずの, けっこうよい, 満足できる; 相当な, かなりの

So… how did it go? Well, thankfully the excess mix didn’t spill out all over my oven. But even though it looks pretty decent – got a nice bit of brown on the top and seems to smell and look ok – half of the pastry is cooked decently on one side, but still a bit soft on the other from where the mix was trapped in the tin.

試行錯誤してる感じが人ごととは思えない…w

puke

意味　(…を) 吐く, (〈食べた物〉を) もどす (up) (vomit)

‘My first thought was to puke,’ added an unhappy (and in my opinion, quite mean) news editor. ‘Without a crisp pastry, this quiche had the texture of custard. Throw in some broad beans, and it’s a recipe for a terrible lunch.’

ひどい…w　素材が難しいんだろうね。
