Wednesday, 5 March 2008SweetiesThe pondering is finally over. Fablet has a new Flavour of the Month.After much deliberation, I decided it was time to dive straight back into childhood with a fruity blast of fun in the shape of Dolly Mixtures. British readers won't need any introduction to these yummy little items, but for the benefit of our overseas chums - and those whose parents wouldn't let them near such brightly-coloured confectionery - here's what Wikipedia has to say about Dolly Mixtures: "a Scottish confection produced for many years by different companies. The mixtures contain a variety of fondant shapes, such as cubes and cylinders in many colour combinations with subtle flavourings. The mixtures also include hard-coated fondants in "round edged cube" shapes and sugar coated jellies" What Wikipedia singularly fails to note is that, a) They're entirely delicious and utterly addictive, and b) It's a flavour that works particularly well in tablet. I pondered for a while over this one, as the previous blog entry noted. Was this flavour too silly? Too juvenile? Too fruity? In the end, common sense prevailed and all such notions went out the window. It's too nothing, except too good to keep to myself. So run on over to the Fablet webshop and buy some. You'll be instantly transported to those carefree days of childhood, thanks to a cunning combination of fruity sweetie flavour and the unbeatable yumminess of Fablet's scrumptious Scottish butter tablet. All the sugary fruity taste, but without any of those mildly unnerving colours. Monday, 3 March 2008Choices, choicesI'm running late.This is not, in itself, unusual. Lateness and me, we go hand in hand, like vegetable protein bacon-flavour streaky strips and eggs. Like car ownership and massive expense. You get the picture. This time, though, I'm late for a reason. I'm supposed to be unveiling this month's flavour of the month, but I just can't settle on one. And why? Because I have too much choice! I love tablet. I love flavoured tablet. I love experimenting with flavoured tablet to find the yummiest, scrummiest, most irresistible flavour combinations. So that's what I've been doing, only I've come up with so many delicious things I can't quite decided which one should be March's Flavour of the Month. Because if I choose one, you all have to wait at least another month for another glorious taste experience which might be just as fabulous. It's a huge responsibility, but I shall try to bear it with dignity. I'll also go off, fiddle around in the kitchen a bit more and make a decision. March's Flavour of the Month - it's .... on its way. |
