Ive just eaten a tunnocks snowball. quite nice. also had a caramel log. agaisn quite nice. not keen on the caramel bar (dark seems nicer) or the teacake (milk or dark). first ever time ive seen the snowball/log in this neck of the woods, starngely having read an article in the telegraph magazine about them a few weeks ago.

    Being a veggie, bizarrely one of the foods I miss eating is Marsh Mallows. However these are animal free and as close as I can get to a Mallow fix. Saying that I haven't eaten one in years. I might go get one. It's a rock n roll world in my life today.

    I do enjoy sitting down with a nice cup of tea and a Tunnock's. Not so sure about sitting down with a Tunncok though.

    Hrrmph!

    Still at least you didn't post photos of the little beauties all pert and soft covered in creamy fondant and dark dark chocolate sitting there on the plate saying eat me if you dare... just calculating required insulin dose now :D

    I did eat a tunnock tea cake, it was about thirty years ago, seem to remember it was quite nice, who knows one day I may be rolling round on the pavement during a hypo interlude and a passing Brit on holiday, who happened to bring Tunnock's whole product range with them, will stuff a tea cake in my mouth to revive me.

    It could happen :roll:

    I'm curious T47b. When was the last time you were able to eat something that tasted nice?

    Subtle covert advertising. Well played.

    I just had my first Tunnocks Wafer in years. :lol:
    None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    Being challenged in all three myself there was no offence intended. It was just a an attempt to raise a smile over the idea of the subject matter and "speaking with your mouth full".

    i know, hence the bravo... did u think i had taken offence? i im not one of these angry sarcastic types on here, well not usually.

    i would have put a winky smiley in but i dont know how, dont want to know how, and dont want you to think i was coming on to you...

    dark choc wafers seem nicer than milk. snowball is the bomb though, even better than the caramel log. immense. i want to try the chocolate wafer thing but think i will be doomed to never find it in the shops.

    I had one of the Tunnocks Teacakes (why the hell are they a tea-cake? Tea-cakes to me will always be that bready type thing that you cut in half and toast), last week. Well actually I had more than one, there was a packet of six and then there wasn't, you know how it is. My word, aren't they lush?

    But they reminded me of the walnut Whips I used to buy as a kid. The stuff inside was just the same as I recall.
