The Kit Kat takes some beating, but a Twix is always a good substitute, although in both cases a cup of tea is required. If there is nothing to wash it back with then my favourite would be the Lindt milk chocolate Lindor ball but also a special mention for a packet of Maltesers.

"A finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat" - A questonable message, on a number of levels.


I like peanuts and chocolate in any form (but Boost is a fave) and Fruit Pastilles. Not at the same time though. Well, saying that I havent tried them together. Yet.


Has anybody tried the Lidl own brand equivalents of Mars, Snickers and Twix? Really rather good.


I hope the Lovely Liz, the diabetes nurse at The Gardens Surgery isnt reading this.

Something sadly not available in this country but which I buy in bulk every time I visit my family in NZ - toffee milks. Nothing flash, simply quite hard toffee, which goes chewy if you perservere, covered in milk chocolate. They're about 10cm long and 2 cm wide. Delicious. The toffee has an almost salty quality to it which makes them extremely moreish.


More than one visit to the dentist in my lifetime can be attributed to them.


My UK favourite is the humble Double Decker. And yes, I have eaten a whole pack of eclairs and hidden the evidence :-$

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
