One More Mint Leaf?

On Sunday, I visited my grandmother in her nursing home and had lunch at my aunt's and uncle's house prior to the visit. As usual, my aunt did not heed my request to "not go to too much trouble" and conjured up an impressive (and VERY nutricious) three-course meal which culminated in the beautifully arranged dessert above. By the time I had eaten it, I felt fit to explode. "Oh, there's also some Sachertorte if you fancy a slice," my aunt said. Apart from the fact that there actually was not have a square millimetre of space in my stomach I was afraid of reproducing the infamous restaurant scene of Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"...
