Reader Martin Ng reports from the British Isles:
The advertising campaign to quit smoking is somewhat less than a
success. Some of the people who quit got their taste buds back and
discovered they've been eating things for years that they can't stand.

Every good cook knows that sometimes less is more, and this simple
tart stands as proof to those who would doubt this wisdom.
Plum Tart
Pastry dough (frozen or your favorite recipe) for a 10-inch pie
1/2 cup (125 ml) cookie or graham cracker crumbs
3 lbs (1350 g) ripe plums, halved lengthwise and pitted
1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar mixed with
1 tsp (5 ml) cinnamon
Line a 10-inch pie or tart pan with the dough and prick it with a
fork. Sprinkle with the cookie crumbs. Fill with the plum halves,
packing them tightly and placing them so they are almost vertical and
leaning against each other. Sprinkle with about 3/4 of the sugar
mixture and bake in a preheated 375F (190C) oven for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle with the remaining sugar mixture. Serve warm. Serves
6 to 8.
