To think After Eights are not very middle class

[rubberglove]

and they taste pretty awful...

Silver after eight holder.

They do exist!!

I think they're probably aspirational lower-middle.

I haven't had a A8 for a couple of years or so now, but they don't taste the same and it is definitely the filling theGrandSoph and it's the same with Mintolas too. The filling used to be lovely when I was a child, proper peppermint.

*an A8

I use the inside of after eights as toothpaste.

I'm desperate to try that brownies layering thing now!

Have always thought of Bendicks (of Mayfair) as being the posh person's chocolate mint.

Right, I am going to try making some chocolate mints tomorrow without toothpaste and only naice chocolate. It is just inevitable. Anyone I haven't got presents for yet is now getting homemade chocolate accident....
