Truly, this is the finest thing to happen to toffee! I live for this 
ice cream! Ooo, I'm craving it right now. 

And speaking of cravings, everytime I read HP they are serving 
sausages, and I start craving sausages. So, are these sausages like the 
American pork breakfast sausage or more like a German brautwurst? Our 
store carries "British Style Bangers" - pork with rusk (what is rusk?) 
and do they sound authentic?

Last, does anyone know if Wales was included in the British census of 
1880? I'm doing a bit of geneology and have run into a bit of a snag 
with the discovery that the church in Wales that had my great 
grandfather's records burned down. A bit of trivia: I was surprised to 
find that during Colorado's gold rush of the 1880's, gold was shipped 
to Swansea, Wales for purifying. It was the closest location for that 
sort of thing, and so explains why there was such a large Welsh 
population in Colorado's gold mines.

Stacie (who humored a Welsh taxi cab driver greatly several years ago 
when she announced with glee that her great grandfather was from Wales. 
"Which town?" he inquired. "Well, I can't remember it right now, but 
I'm sure if I look on a map I would recognize it. It starts with two 
L's!" Whereupon, we nearly avoided the ditch and rock wall, as the 
driver doubled over in laughter. Ah, to be a stupid American! :))
