    Rhubarb and Custards...guaranteed to remove the top off your mouth.

    Chewy toffees but your fillings are at great risk.

    Nah, Edinburgh rock has more of a crumbly texture, this is rock hard.
    Its got an aniseedy/medicinal taste to it, bloody lovely though.

    First time i seen it for years was in an old fashioned sweet shop on Keswick town centre, near where they have the market, sold it as individual sticks for 20p each.
    I buy the Stockleys tubs off amazon, and share it with the daughter.

    Hope you're keeping well mate.
