Least Interesting Life Rule Ever
I have a new life rule! Never again will I compromise on teacakes.
Normally, if I feel a teacake coming on, you can pick up 6 for 40p at Tesco. Fine in their way, they scratch that mallowy itch, and I learned to settle for them. But for the team meeting today, I decided not to get the cheap ones as they all contain gelatin, which Kamran can't have.
So I sighed, and checked the ingredients on the old-fashioned Tunnocks teacakes. I was a very small Ni when I last had one, I think they must have been a staple food of children's birthday parties in the 1980s. Seeing that the mallow is literally sugar, glucose syrup and egg white, I took them to work and tried one.
Oh. My. Gods.
I hereby forswear the plasticy, cheap crap I was eating before, with the claggy biscuit base and the odd ill-advised jam layer. I will henceforth stick with proper teacakes as the gods intended, that have a very light frothy sort of mallow that's not quite home baked, but still has a surprisingly natural taste and texture.
Cheers, Tunnocks.
