No details yet. He says he will post about it at length tomorrow and it will be worth the wait. So this is just a placemarker for the moment.

I should also mention to declare a conflict of interest that I’ve always found dunking biscuits in hot drinks disgusting!

I shall have to consider that for a while....

💜you, Myrtle.

Root beer tastes like Euthymol toothpaste.

Both are disgusting.

My dad used to have that and wouldn't use anything else, while the rest of the family had Aquafresh (with 3 stripes!). It was absolutely vile. And pink. And very medicinal tasting. Bleugh.

I can vouch for Lidl caramel wafers as being very similar to the FWR staple.

#sadtimes, my respect for you has plummeted.

The saddest of all the times!

You are all wrong, apart from @GriseldaandMike and I acknowledge @murasaki is mostly right.

@ErrolTheDragon I also have to agree with you. My DH (the Walrus) does cook celery and put it in with the roast veg and I can't taste it. I assume it enhances the meal, but everything he makes is bloody delicious, with extra deliciousness because I don't have to lift a finger - I have no idea how our new convection hob works.

But the rest of you - wrong.

Fortunately I am a sensible lion who is happy to be friends with people who enjoy foodstuffs I don't, so it won't affect my love for you all.

Oh, perhaps you aren't my long lost twin after all. Even cooked celery is vile 🤢 - I can detect homeopathic quantities when someone tries to sneak it in to food.

This is all well and good, but what we really want to know is whether you are made from Lion Bar wrappers or not?

*As per the Tunnocks Tiger sculpture reply upthread.

MyDogClive · 05/08/2026 18:35

Oh lord, not another mallow and tunnocks related love in. You are all batshit. How can so many, otherwise intelligent, interesting and educated women be so consistently wrong?

Tunnocks wafers are the snack of disappointment. Like when you are hoping for proper chocolate or decent biscuits and all you get is an bastarding wafer. And mallow is just sickly sweet pointlessness.

I have to question my feminist credentials at times, I really do.

This is without a doubt the single wrongest opinion ever uttered on Mumsnet.

Which is impressive, given that this is a forum where we regularly get told by certain posters that up is down, left is right, black is white and men are most definitely women.

Also I like celery both as a stick to dip into things and as a sauce/soup/stew ingredient.

I find disaronno does the job re marzipanish liqueur, also in hot chocolate.

My best friend is not allowed it when out with me for as some reason even a tiny amount sends her snooker loopy. In her own house, crack on love! I'll tidy up.

Ereshkigalangcleg · 06/08/2026 15:04

Spiritofsharing · 06/08/2026 14:41

Umm just dropping this here, Neideregger make a marzipan liqueur, (which is also amazing in hot chocolate) not sure if you can get in the UK Lűbeck is a beautiful city to visit, but I didn’t think the Neideregger cafe was that amazing sadly, although the window displays of what you can make out of marzipan were impressive.

I would totally try that!

Once again we have a thread mentioning food and I like everything. I'm either unfussy or just a greedy bastard!

I do not hate celery, but the strings?!

It's not first date food.

SirChenjins · 06/08/2026 13:55

Celery is lovely! Bit of good cheese, some celery, grapes and some crackers - perfect.

ErrolTheDragon · 06/08/2026 13:50

Raw celery is vile, but it’s an essential component of soffrito/mirepoix. As with onions and garlic, cooking transforms from offensive to delicious.

murasaki · 06/08/2026 13:42

I'm with you on root beer and celery, but i do love a bit of marzipan. My dad always used to over buy for icing the Xmas cake, and divide the remainder for his marzipan loving daughters. We actually are him weigh all 3 balls of the good stuff to make sure he was being fair.

Frankly marzipan, celery and root beer are the work of the devil. Do not get me started on Dr Pepper. It is genuinely evil.

This is the truth.

Myrtle you and I are clearly twins separated at birth. I will be grilling my celery loving so call mother later so I can reconnect with my real family.

That’s fabulous.

Somebody dropped the ball by not making a lion out of Lion Bar wrappers.

I demand an Inquiry!!!

I think either Whittards or Hotel Chocolate do marzipan hot chocolate. Possibly both of them do.

If you have a Velvitiser (a cheap equivalent or a pan and a whisk) you can turn anything that melts into 'hot chocolate'. I got bored with a box of Guerlain praline shellfish things and used a few to make hot chocolate. Been meaning to do the same with maltezers.

The Niederegger cafe looks awesome! I treat myself to their marzipan hot chocolate sachets in Lakeland at Christmas, but the opportunity to have a proper marzipan hot chocolate in situ is going on the bucket list. Youngest is off to uni seen so DH and I are already planning our adventures.

Woah, woah, WOAH.

Lakeland do marzipan hot chocolate? How have I not heard of this before?!
