You need to be ordering 30KG of stuff really to make the £11.99 delivery to Germany charge good value, but the prices are the best I've seen so far for this sort of service.<br /><br />http://www.britishcornershop.co.uk/fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284847952437148628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477029443287536038.post-70351554568599411072012-01-30T09:59:47.137+00:002012-01-30T09:59:47.137+00:00Tunnock's teacakes!

Yes. With baked beans. But my dad used to make out they were some kind of food of the gods. They're good, but not life changing.

That's ridiculous and something your father should have seen to. Next you'll be saying you don't drink 3 litres of Irn Bru every day. Good lord. I will need to send you an emergency care package with the above, and maybe some Tunnock's teacakes, and that weird orange fondant covered in chocolate that they used to sell round the doors along with tablet so sweet it could kill a horse.fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13284847952437148628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477029443287536038.post-20543492312379874642012-01-28T18:50:35.763+00:002012-01-28T18:50:35.763+00:00An Ayrshire lass!

As a youngster there were far too many Burns books lining our shelves and every year I was subjected to a Burns Night supper somewhere. Other times of the year there was always talk of neeps and tatties and, of course, tattie scones. Are they really that good? ;)<br /><br />I won a haggis once. My mum put it out for the birds (Sassenach, eh?) - it was still there two weeks later. Wise. <br /><br />On a positive note, the knife in the sock always intrigued me. Is it ever used other than to slice the haggis open?<br /><br />Tom (Scottish father, Sassenach mother)Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05843225367822549143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-477029443287536038.post-8454272748855988622012-01-25T18:34:41.898+00:002012-01-25T18:34:41.898+00:00I imagine the English one is the filling from a co...I imagine the English one is the filling from a cornish pastie stuffed into a sock. I did see that you can now get vegan ones which must contain such dissimilar contents that it might as well be called something else - but I can imagine that I would probably prefer it!<br /><br />And our IKEA meatballs were divine. And I managed not to buy anything else while I was there!
