Does anyone remember a chocolate bar called Loot? I don't think it was around for very long, but I remember devouring it.

A pineapple chunk almost got the better of me when it lodged in my throat. I am lucky to be here to tell the tale.

I was at Fassouri market just before Christmas, and "found" the sweet stall - OMG I spent a fortune! They had fruit salad, and black jacks, and walnut whips (but only with the walnut on top ), Fry's turkish delight, Frys chocolate cream bars. Absolutely wonderful, and brought back loads of memories. I must have a ride down there before Easter to see if they have Cadburys cream eggs, and the chocolate eggs with the sugar shell on them - yummy

Jean

Caramac i want it now.Old Jamica you had to be grown up to get that.

I am sure there will be cream eggs on the bases, Jean. Next time I go in the shop I will pick some up for you if I see any.

I regularly buy Fry's Chocolate Cream. It is one of the benefits of working on an MOD base.

For the uninitiated, these are "Scotch Pies" traditionally made with mutton.

Pete

I saw some Scotch pies in the freezer at big Paps on Saturday afternoon - call in on your way past!

Jean

Thanks Jean,

I wish I could but due to my IBS, I'm not allowed to eat pastry anymore, so no more pies for me I'm afraid

I get very down hearted seeing all these delicious pastries around but not able to eat of them

Pete

Poor you pete, Never mind having the body of a young hunk and a wife who worships you will make up for no pies
