Go to Jag's store (a general store opposite the Holiday Inn at the back of the Bullring) - they currently have:
Cadbury's Mr Big (usually only available in the US and Canada I believe); Nestle Nuts; Hershey's Cookies and Chocolate; Reese's Nutrageous and Peanut Butter Cups (available in Woolies and department store food halls, but not normally anywhere else).
Just goes to show, the things you find when you're not looking for them - I'd gone in for the Mirror; I only looked at their choc to see if they'd got orange Rolos!

Go out of the New Street station as if you were going to cut across the road to the Bullring, but take a right instead. Walk down to the junction with Hurst Street (where the Hippodrome and the gay village is) and you'll see the Holiday Inn. Jag's is opposite, by the Caspian chip shop.

I drive past it all the time, just never look.
I like going to the gallows nearby.

Have you spotted Orange Rolos anywhere in our area Salsa? Still yet to sample them
Yup, On the broadway in Walsall, the news agents opposite the Toby Inn.
Also Woolworths Walsall had them.

Nice - not overwhelmingly orangey though, which could be a good or bad thing.
The people on Snackspot make me laugh; one woman complained 'they just taste like Rolos with a bit of orange flavouring in them' (what did she expect them to be flavoured with? Cheese?), and another said it was weird for a UK chocolate bar to refer to a region of America!! 
Perhaps they would have preferred Nestle to have named it after one of the great orange-growing regions of Britain...

I was cooking something the other day that said on the box, "If you want it to taste less spicy, then add less of the spice mixture."
I would never have thought of that....

My mum has one of the Delia Smith books and there is a recipe for Banoffee pie. Delia says 'people think banoffee is something really exotic, but it's actually just a mix of banana and toffee'. No! You don't say!

A worrying amount of people think it has something to do with coffee!
Banoffee pie = YUM!

I did
But you're not missing anything. It was similar to the toffee one but more sickly. There's apparently a Rum flavour out now. Post by: chocolate chick on February 28, 2005, 03:06:05 pm
Doesn't look like I am missing much then. The Hazlenut one is nice, have you tried that?
I will have to look out for the rum one.

I still have a jar of the spiced ginger flavour in my cupboard, it's vile

Wasn't keen on the turkish one. It was drinkable but I was finding I always leaving it til last. I liked the white choc one as well as the toffee one. The belguim choc one is also very nice. I think options is a very nice low cal hot choc. Far better than highlights in my opinion. I find highlights tastes powdery.
Post by: salsa on March 02, 2005, 06:35:16 pm
I dont mind powdery, infact, sometimes its nice. But im odd.

around Xmas.
