To think After Eights are not very middle class

[rubberglove]

and they taste pretty awful...

Quality Street are the ultimate working class choc selection.

That's all right..
neither am I.

Did I make this up or at one time could you get a silver coloured After Eight holder?

Would they be middle class if you ate them with a fish knife?

You can get a sort of silver box thing for the After Eight box. Were you thinking of a silver holder for a single After Eight?

I want a silver After Eight holder.

Quality Street, positively common..

Kim We almost had a diplomatic incident at work the other day. Someone put at least five empty papers back in the box in the staff room.

It was touch and go for a moment, but luckily the proffered box of Bendicks helped calm the stormy waters.

After Eights are gopping. Cheap nasty chocolate and insipid fondant minty filling. YANBU.

Mmm, Bendicks bittermints ...

Candid peel??

Oh yes Greenyeyes, my grandparents had a little silver trolley for After Eights boxes. I thought it was the height of sophistication.

DP and DC have bought 5 boxes of cheapo market own brand After Eight replicas to give to school staff teachers for christmas presents. Now they really aren't very middle class (am tempted to add a note saying "the dc chose these I didn't").

Ooooh Bluestocking coffee matchmakers ... wish they'd bring them back.

Elizabeth Shaw mint crisps.....

Ah yes it was a holder for the box

I was thinking of a toast rack type effort, but yes, who could be fagged to transfer individual after eights

Christmas isn't Christmas without a ton of After Eights.

I like Tesco's own brand ones too, but eat them far too fast!

Merry Christmas!

In fact, make an After Eight smaller and round, and it would fit right in with the Quality Streets...

After Eights are best served frozen.

I love After Eights.

I love Bendicks.

I love any minty chocolate.

My mother had a square crystal dish which housed a full box of After Eights perfectly. She didn't put the box in the dish either, just the little packets of mints.

That's very posh, surely?

Argos used to do a silver holder for your box of after eights .... Now that's class

It would merely be a 'mint cream'

Yup, all those wrappers aren't very environmentally friendly. You'll never save the world eating After Eights.

I need (or my Dad needs) the brownie After Eight recipe please LauriesFairyonthetreeeatsCake

It's not Christmas without them. And the big boxes are £1.50 in HumB'gins.

My Dad adores A8s and he doesn't really eat cake or pudding. But he would love After Eight brownies :)

I think they are posh.

But maybe less so when you're trying to see how many you can get in your mouth at once
