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

I've never heard of Chorley cakes. anyway I should showing solidarity towards Banbury cakes as they're local produce. And tasty.

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

I miss the marshmallows more than the meat itself. Not enough to pay about £8 for a tiny bag of imitation marshmallows though, I am from Yorkshire.

I like Tunnocks but they are a bit on the small side

Good grief man you haven't lived..................mind you I don't know anywhere in Chorley that sells them. They do a very good buttered Chorley cake at Bullbeck cafe, north of Lancaster.Must be eaten with a smear of butter...........

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

We were told the same about Garibaldi Biscuits

Nah, you need the Ten Tonneocks Teacake, from the same source:

Yes, they even painted the foil wrapper.

I was too and that was 55 years ago.... funny how these things catch on... Like being told that if you swallow a cherry pip a tree will grow inside you

Can't find the still game clip on youtube at the moment but the big question with Tunnocks Teacakes is what to do with the wrapper !!!

Are you a roller who rolls it into a small ball or are you a a ironer who lays it out flat into a perfect square ?

I have always referred to them as Squashed Fly Pie.

I would smooth it out, and then fold it in half as many times as I could.

In the good old days, you could, if you were very careful, peel apart the foil and the greaseproof layers of a club wrapper. If you were lucky, you got them right apart without tearing the foil. These days, they are bonded differently, and impossible to peel apart.

Hmmm do you think they purposely wrapper them as they do to prolong the life of the eating experience , because as cakes they don't half disappear quickly.

Tunnocks caramel wafer wrappers also come in handy , now they fold well

While we're on the subject, who else eats a Tunnocks teacake by nibbling off all the chocolate covering the mallow? Why do so many of us (like me) have the urge to deconstruct our food bit by bit. I'm the same with jaffa cakes.

When I were a lad, Wagon Wheels were huge, ginormous , as big as er .......................... wagon wheels!

But now they're quite small. I can't possibly think what might have changed in the intervening years.

Nibble a Tunnocks Teacake ?

I don't understand, they are a two bite delight

Best Tunnocks teacake I have ever tasted was straight off the conveyor at the factory (before it got in the wrapper).
The factory tour was amazing!
