I'm talking about those teacakes that everyone seems to have at their birthday party.

The domeshaped chocolate covered marshmallow ones with the biscuit bottom. Wrapped in silver and red foil, and come in packs of 10 in a long yellow and red box.

Exactly ... you know the ones don't you.

Who makes them?

See what I mean? Everyone knows them, but no one knows who makes them.

I've been trying to think of other examples but can't. Can any of you?

Tunnocks

The only problem with them is one is never enough. That and stopping the gooey white mallow stuff ending up all over your face.

I've struggled with them ever since my mum told me they were known as 'dead fly cakes'!

Wimp! As a cyclist you should be inured to the consumption of flies.

Tunnocks.

Chop a slice off a Tunnock to make an almost whole cake but with a flat side.
Repeat with another. Butt ( pun intended ) them together,

and they look like Buttocks.

Hmmm... I like them 'on the wing' but I also like them 'in the cake'. But which one's better? There's only one way to find out...

Yes enough about your private life, what about Tunnocks Tea Cakes?

Can't eat them myself, sadly. Marshmallow no good for veggies

Eccles cakes are mere pretenders to the throne of Chorley cakes...
