I have a vague memory of a Mr Kipling one-liner on vintage TV comedy show - probably Not The Nine O'Clock News, or something. Or it could have been a radio comedy show of similar date, probably written by Barry Took and John Junkin, as they all seemed to be in them days. But in my head, it comes with pictures.
Anyway, it spoofed the Mr Kipling TV ad of the time, and it went something like this...
Soft-focus image of cakes. Nice music. Warm, cosy voice-over:
When I asked Mr Kipling how he makes his exceedingly good cakes, he said,
"I don't bloody know, I've got a bloody great factory in Bolton does all that."
I remember the first time I tasted a Mr Kipling apple pie - the grainy, cloying, stick-to-the-roof-of-your-mouth pastry, and the glutinous, sickly-sweet filling. It bore absolutely no resemblance to the golden-topped pies stuffed with thick slices of apple that I had grown up on.
I view 'deep fill' as an alternative to a plate pie, but I'm not sure if anyone commercial even makes plate pies.
Now my BMI has gone over 30, I'm not allowing myself either cake or pies :( I think the beer got me here, but it's the cakes I'll miss, not the booze...
