Oh, but we can be just as sickly sweet as anybody when we put our
minds to it:
I give you deep fried mars bars, treacle pudding, jam roly poly etc.
And I have only just cured my daughter of a most unfortunate
addiction to wait for it - condensed milk sandwiches.
For those not in the know, condensed milk is a canned sweetened and
thickened milk which is unpalatable to all but the sweetest of tooths.
