Jelly Cakes.
They were called jelly cakes and they melted in yr mouth.
Marge brought them for Ted’s birthday.
Baked them herself.
What a whizz.
They were cheery and cherry coloured like Xmas.
No need to scrabble around for words to describe the taste like you do for wine.
One word would do.
One syllable.
Yum.
- what’s something that’s knocked you out taste-wise recently?

Lately and not so lately, bread pudding.

Total pre-christmas fix, John. Thanks for sharing. I’ve never had jelly cakes, but I imagine raspberry ones would be divine. Pumpkin muffins did me in recently. Warm, cinnamon and nutmeg morsels.

Agreed. The simple things seen and reimagined and brought into the light. It’s not easy being so witty and wise, I imagine.

I tried an Aldi mince pie recently, just from their cheaper range, and actually it was pretty decent. Ironically, the cheaper ones are rated better here to their premium ones.

We don’t often go to Aldi but Mrs Bump wanted something they had on special. Even though it was only October they have the christmas stuff in. The stollen was disappointing but the christmas cake and mince pies were top notch.

We have an Aldi very near us, so we use it weekly. You learn from experience that some stuff is not so good, but other lines are first class.

When we were in Paris, we tried Macarons. They were divine. Lots of cafes here sell Macarons and they’re good but not the same. The ones in Paris tasted like they were real raspberries or pistachios or whatever. Definitely a “sweet” but the essence was sublimely fresh.
