Brown French Fancies are the worst...

And yellow are the best!

I've just opened a box here and there are 3 brown - they always get left to last.

My personal favourite is the yellow.

Pass me the brown ones if you don't want them..

EishetChayil · 17/09/2021 13:22

It's the pink ones for me.

Purpletomato · 17/09/2021 13:23

Nope, pink are by far the worst. Yellow is best, then brown. Tried the choc orange ones recently and they didn't live up to expectations.

I like all flavours. I enjoy nibbling all of the icing off, then eating the squidgy bit at the top, then the cake Grin

GemmaRuby · 17/09/2021 13:23

Irish creme Xmas fancies are very nice

burritofan · 17/09/2021 13:24

Have I fallen into a parallel universe? You’re all mad: brown are the only good ones. Ditto liquorice all sorts, brown all the way.

Yellow and pink are grittily sweet, like rubbing icing sugar into your teeth as a coke addict might.

All French Fancies are bad. Try and be more sophisticated like me and stuff your bouche with those Cadbury Mini Egg cakes they bring out at Easter time.

Gorl · 17/09/2021 13:25

I love the white ones they do at Christmas

OneTC · 17/09/2021 13:26

All shite

JustWorriedSick · 17/09/2021 13:27

Team Yellow

Unsuremover · 17/09/2021 13:27

Is it national french fancy day? I’ve just bought a box having never thought about them for years. Was saving them for a Friday treat tonight. Maybe I should just taste them all just now before anyone else gets home.

znaika · 17/09/2021 13:28

@burritofan. This is why we like it.
Where do you get the Irish Cream ones? Do you have to travel to ireland? What are the quarantine regs for that?

mafted · 17/09/2021 13:29

The white ones are superb.

All others are horrible, the yellow, pink and brown ones contaminate each other so they all taste nasty.

OnGoldenPond · 17/09/2021 13:30

Sorry it's pink all the way for me.

Closely followed by yellow

Brown ain't bad either

I'm not too fussy when it comes to cake Grin

OnGoldenPond · 17/09/2021 13:31

I like the white ones at Christmas

bellabelle1994 · 17/09/2021 13:31

I love the white ones, especially the egg ones at Easter!

Then the after dinner mint fancies are 10/10

MrsTesfaye · 17/09/2021 13:32

What flavour are the white ones? Can't say I've ever seen them before!

bluetoothroboticgrapefruit · 17/09/2021 13:33

You can buy a box of yellow ones all the time now! I have one with 2 left in the kitchen.

Pink are the worst though.

I like the orange Halloween ones too.

WhatATimeToBeAlive · 17/09/2021 13:33

Chocolate, Lemon, Pink. The pink ones seem particularly sickly.

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 17/09/2021 13:33

They're all horrible, overly sugary abominations. It doesn't stop me scoffing whole boxes when DH buys them, mind you, but I always think they're not worth it.

Actually, I think all Mr Kipling's cakes are awful.

bluetoothroboticgrapefruit · 17/09/2021 13:35

I wasn't that keen on the white ones.

OrangeTortoise · 17/09/2021 13:36

Pink then yellow then brown.

So I don't know whether to vote YABU or YANBU Confused

ParkheadParadise · 17/09/2021 13:37

No, the yellow are fucking Minging.

Brown and pink are the best.

Caramelsmadfuzzytail · 17/09/2021 13:39

Pink and yellow I like, ds has the brown ones. I love the orange Halloween ones and the white Xmas ones are way too sweet.
Always eat the icing first, leaving the cream zit to last.
