In Praise of Tunnock's Caramel Wafers

[pembrokestephen]

They're great.

That is all.

Yup. Seconded.

Now put it to the committee for a vote.

On second thoughts, no. Let's just declare them great by Presidential Fiat. Who's Suburban75 president this week?

If beeboo turns out to be Bibi Tunnock heir to the Tunnocks empire I demand a public enquiry and a free Tunnocks bar.

Hee hee. I went to school with the heir to another U75-endorsed product: TAYTO Crisps. I always imagined that Tunnocks were made a castle as well so please don;t disaapoint me by saying it's in an industrial unit in Castlemilk.

Tunnocks teacakes are some of the few marshmallow-based snacks which contain no gelatine They are exceptionally good with sherry

 

[crustychick]

*drools*

Tunnocks Wafers remind me of my childhood. We never bought them, but I was firends with a Scottish boy down the road and his family always got them in.

The dark chocolate ones are yummy.

I think they're made in an industrial estate in Uddingston. Sorry.

 

[pogofish]

Yes but it is/was a slightly grand/oldish bakery in Uddingston.

With a very big Tunnocks sign IIRC

The only thing that bothers me about the forthcoming Independence is that they might stop all consignments of Tunnocks to England.

Think you are safe - Old Boyd is a Union supporter but we won't hold that against him:

They make a nice stand in for a flake when making ice cream cones. A treat my dad used to make...

I believe that's going to be a bargaining chip in the post referendum negotiations...

 

[panpete]

lol, what a co-incidence. I had some of these caramel wafers tonight. It's not something I buy very often. I love them though

 

[farmerbarleymow]

I think I'll have one of their snowballs with a cup of tea now.
