Undervalued Sweets of Yesteryear
Jump to: Newest in thread
For tonight's pudding I decided to make a chocolate-lime cheesecake. I'd totally forgotten how much I loved chocolate limes as a kid, yet whenever we have a sweet thread, it's easy to forget the lesser known ones.
So, what else can you remember buying a 1/4 of, in a little white paper bag, from an old lady with a shop full of large glass jars?

Pure sugar but absolutely amazing. The Spanish was the perfect thing for eating it with. |

Have you been practising being good while I'm away? If so I might detour from coach station on way home and get you your sweet of choice.

"Don't think he's around, couldn't keep quiet for this long.

Clearly *some* of us aren't sitting around while their supposed patient brings them endless supplies of M&S crisps and cookies, and actually have to cook our own tea!

To be fair, you'd warrant a new one. This one has been back and forth as emergency rations on various DofE expeditions over the past 5 years
