T TUNNOCK LTD
This is a tale of Tunnock’s treats,
The ones that we eat at all of our meets.
Usually, there’s a selection from which to pick,
No one has difficulty wolfing them quick.
No, it’s hard to stop as they are so nice,
Oh yes to another, no need to ask twice.
Chocolate biscuit and mallow, caramel and wafer,
Knowing there’s Snowballs to finish off later.
Logs that are large, and come in bite size.
Tunnock’s will be in my hand when I die.
Dark ones as well? Well, there’s a surprise!
Now I'm not saying I am addicted or anything but...
Whilst the Tea Cake is not my favourite personally (I mean I love them but I love other Tunnock's products more!) I have been thinking on the matter of a Tunnock's Tea Cake:
The Tea Cake is
Eminently the crown
Atop the rest of the
Chocolatey empire
At Uddingston.
Kept there by people
Everywhere loving them.
Moving onto the Snowball I find they are:
Slightly different from a Tea Cake,
No biscuit base though.
Otherwise the same, except for
Wispy bits of coconut
Beautifully attached, in the main,
All over the outside.
Lots fall off during eating, but are
Licked off the wrapper at the end.
Heading towards my favourite, in second place for me is the Caramel Log:
Can eat these for ever
And a day.
Reminiscent of the wafer,
A different coating
Makes these delicious.
Enveloped in a
Liberal sprinkling of
Lovely roasted coconut.
Oh boy do they make a mess.
Gorgeous though!
For me though the most wonderful of Tunnock's products is the Caramel Wafer:
Can’t get enough of these.
A whole pack of 4
Remain uneaten for
About five minutes.
Mouthful after mouthful,
Eventually all eaten, and I’m
Left with a multitude of
Wrappers that I hoard.
Aware that I’ll never actually
Fathom what to do with them.
Even so in the drawer they go, as a
Reminder of my love.
