Farola - does it still exist?

[summerdays]

I remember the name as a child, and my Mum was telling me about her recipe for shortbread using it. However I assume you can't get it now. Is there a modern equivalent?

Apparently it still exists.
Seems to be more common up here. Let me know if you want some and I'll take a look next time I'm shopping.

Is that where "Farola Langs Ayne" comes from then??

No silly, it comes from, 'Farola saints, who from their labours rest.........' or 'Farola the yellow brick road...'

But not 'Farola tea in china!'

I'll see if I can find some first but I may come back to you... looks like its in Asda that I need to go hunting.

I've never heard of it, but according to the description perhaps you can only get it in Scotland?

No doubt deep fried in batter?

It is a form of ground rice. We can still get it here as it used to be a staple pud in our house. My late dad used to make "Footballers pud" with it--it had big lumps in it!
