There’s a bit marketing campaign (rather invasion) for American ‘Oreo’ biscuits….
I thought I would warn you!
There was a legal suit in 2003 about the fat content of them. However, apparently they have slightly altered that.
Now.. Jaffa Cakes (the name came from Jaffa in Israel) are British and they’re a lot more healthy, with less fat than these Oreos.. ‘whatever that means’.

This is great reading.. all about the origins of Chelsea Buns
In the South we get a small tart with white icing and a cherry on top otherwise known as ‘Mr Kipling’. However, when I went ‘up North’ to Bakewell, a Bakewell Tart is completely different! Why? Has the Southern Bakewell tart been ‘Americanised’?
I love what I suppose is the northern ‘Bakewell Tart’. It’s really delicious.
I went to a Farmers Shop in Kent a while back and they stocked lots of British cakes. but they also had the ‘Southern or Americanised Bakewell Tart’.. It would be lovely to get the gooey Northern Bakewell Tart down here.
Will Toad in the Hole be tampered with in the future…. maybe they will make one with bloody waffles?
Now, here’s my favourite Bakewell Tart Shop..but even they know call themselves ‘a patisserie’ . A patisserie in England? Eh?!
