Which is why you have to get proper marzipan. The stuff I have here is nearly 70% almonds. As I said, chop it up - add salted cashews and it makes brilliant bike food.

Where do you get such high quality marzipan? The stuff in the supermarkets is sugar, fat and almond flavouring (in other words, it's never seen an almond in its life!)

At the time of our wedding (some 21 years ago) Mrs FF worked in the purchasing office of Renshaws Marzipan in Mitcham> On her last day before our wedding they made her a large Marzipan phallus and placed it erect on her desk... it was a baking hot day and it kept drooping, requiring much 'fluffing' from her colleagues to keep it up before she returned from lunch!
