Question... Brits re biscuits - Death in a Bowl

[meidbh]

Steve wonders:
"Jaffa Cake and Jammie Dodgers (Dan Radcliffe likes Jammie Dodgers), 
although I suspect the these are 'kid foods' that are just pure 
sugar in a variety of shapes and colors. Could anyone tell me 
whether the (I'm told) extremely popular Jaffa Cake is actually 
worth eating?
...
"In addition... curious... has anyone ever tried any of the 'Duchy 
Originals' products?" 


Meidbh:
Jaffa cakes and toffee pops most definitely not just for kids. 
Though the jaffa cake is a little bit more grown up with it's layer 
of dark chocolate and slick packaging than the sweeter gooier 
gaudily packaged toffee pop. Both highly recommended.

Haven't tried the lemon curd ice cream but it sounds divine. The 
Duchy Original products are pretty good but to really appreciate the 
enormous range of deliciously high sugar high fat delights Britain 
has to offer you will really need to visit. An activity holiday of 
some kind (hiking/cycling/climbing etc) could be a good idea as an 
arterial damage limitation exercise ;-)
