So now we know - Errol is a stuf adict!

Amokavid. I did not know that,, I drink organic liquorice tea, it is supposed to be very good for protecting the stomach and aid digestion. I guess it depends on how much you eat / drink.

Marzipan.

I don't mind if it's covered in chocolate, I don't care if it's coloured strange colours, or cut into weird shapes, and I really don't mind whether or not it's with cake. I will eat it.
I <3 marzipan
:-D

Errol

what is the recipe for your home made mustard


my addiction is also Marzipan ........

I only have wedding cake to pick out the marzipan ... cant stand the cake


x

I also adore beetroot ...................Sharron

cream cakes with jam inside yum yum for my tum :-D :-D

I think my taste buds have changed as I get older. I used to hate Marzipan when I was a child and always picked it off the cakes, I love it now eat the Marzipan and give OH the cake.

As a Marzipanie I remember my mum during the war making marzipan potatoes. For some reason marzipan was much esier to get than most things can remember it being the shop in a great big round just like cheese , but what her recipe was I don't know it wasn't just marzipan rolled in cocoa and sugar so if anyone has the recipe please send

Turkish delight

I will say no more than that .....or maybe I will !

mmm Uzzi, my sister's too, probably why she has moved to Turkey. :-D

Yes! Can go for a bit of Turkish if no marzipan around :-D

eugh too sweet for me.

I do like chocolate but don't buy it for myself as I'd eat it all and put on weight. But like crisps, especially pringles. I have to ration them out or I'd eat the packet!!!

Bombay mix - in fact, I'm going to have some very, very soon! :-D

lol Ann I don´t do sweet things, I rarely eat chocolate prefer savory to sweet but just can´t resist Turkish delight. (mind if I am bought the proper stuff I have to shake the sugar coating off)

Chocolate for me, almost any kind will do but have my favourites, mostly of the more expensive kind lol

We had a huge jar of pickled beetroot o.h.'s dad did and gave us, but I only like plain beetroot, and o.h. has gone off the pickled stuff so after he opened it, it just sits in the fridge. If only it was postable!

We will be in Yorkshire/Licolnshire next week for a few days and I mentioned Pontefract to o.h., he had never heard of Pontefract cakes but says he likes liquorice. I have never seen him eat it but if he says so...... Will have to make sure he doesn't make a pig of himself if he buys some.

I hadn't heard of Pontefract cakes until somebody mentioned it on GR a few months back. I happened to see a lot of British sweets in a shop just afterwards and was able to buy some Pontefract cakes. I didn't think they were any better than ordinary liquorice, which I love. I also love Turkish delight and marshmallows, but I have gone off ultra sweet things over the last 3 or 4 years. I did buy a cake of white Raspberry chocolate yesterday, as I wanted to try it. I have eaten almost half of it (a 250 gm. cake) but it really is too sweet so I am taking the rest into the shop tomorrow to see if some of our volunteers would eat it for me.

Yesterday went we shopping. ......
(I was born to do it) we saw an old fashioned sweet shop.
All the old favourites, I was not tempted but had to drag OH out he was getting rather carried away. He loves Turkish Delight.

Another strange little pleasure I sometimes indulge in is to chew cardamom seeds.

Cinder Toffee.

Is that like Crunchie?

Sharron - Very similar but not the same. Try some and you will love it.
