The Love these. Brought some back to the States with me. Licorice and Blackcurrants too. Heading over in two weeks to replenish my stash!!
me dad would get pontefact cakes from a sweetshop near Neville's Cross, or one on the way to see his family in Wheatly hill. im sure fizzy cola bottles have been mentioned
Pontefract cakes taste like sh1te these days imo. The liquorice was sourced from Yorkshire now I think it's Australian and they're bloody awful.
What a waster I used to spend hours laying them out in diferent paterns and eating the spares, gradually reducing them down to a ludo board . Simple pleasures. Think Damien Hurst had similar ideas.
I love mints. Fox's glacier my all time favs. My Dad reckons it is my Grandads fault. He died when I was a youngun so no real memories. But my Dad reckons I would run straight in the house jump on his knee and wouldnt go anywhere else until I had an extra strong mint. He always had a bag of them loose in the table next to his chair. He used to break a bit off one and give it to me, I was about 3 or 4 then.
Fisherman’s Friends and the other hot one that was similar but can’t remember the name. Wine gums, liquorice allsorts and maltesers. Trebors Extra Strong Mints.
