#4 - Tunnock's Tea Cakes This is a locally produced food by a family-owned business, which is nothing to do with a teacake as understood by most Brits (sweetish bread with dried fruit, good to eat toasted at the end of long country walks). According to wikipedia it's most like the NZ Mallowpuff, not that I've ever had one of those. I expected to hate it but actually it was rather nice in a cheap 1970s memory-bringing-back sort of way. I'm sure I never did have any in the 70s, but they are just the sort of thing we'd have had after tea on a Saturday afternoon as a treat. Lovely. Not to mention kinda psychedelic.
