They're disgusting sugary shite aren't they?

So, which one is your favourite? 😅

I read 'Ultra Processed People' and he talks about how there are scientists whose job it is to work out the exact ratios of fat/salt/sugar/additives to make these products as addictive as can be. That pissed me right off. So the only shop bought baked goods I buy now are shortbread. Boring, but I feel better for not lining the bad guys' pockets! And I've lost a stone!

The door is over there ---->

French fancy. Haven't bought for years though as the box would be gone in 2 nights!!

Two nights?

Amateur.

I like the ittle birthday cakes, 4 in a blue box, 99p or £1 in Iceland, Home Bargains or B&M.

In Waitrose I saw them at £2.50!! But last week I got a box in there for £1.25.

Cherry bakewell my next favourite.

I've just had a slice of Battenberg
because it was reduced.
Two things - it has really shrunk!
And...
I can't taste any marzipan. It's just sweet.
Now this could purely be because hay-fever has wrecked my taste buds, or because they've "improved" the recipe in the intervening years 🙄

I love a cherry Bakewell

Country Slices were my favourite, but I haven't bought the 'disgusting sugary shite' since quitting UPF.

Up until very recently, I'd have said Angel Slices, but a friend brought some Cherry Bakewells to share. Unfortunately, said friend's homemade lemon drizzle beats Mr Kipling's version into a hollow!

Lemon icey slicey things. Unwrap in a 2 pack. That's just cheating.

Mr Kipling makes exceedingly small cakes, the miserable old bastard
