Discontinued? / Marzipan
« on: January 31, 2008, 12:13:42 am »
Can some please confirm if Fry's made a marzipan chocolate bar similar in size to the Dairy Cream bar, but filled with marzipan. Am I also right in believing that they also made a fruit cream bar with different fruit flavoured fondants in each of the 5 segments?

My father loved the marzipan bar and says that the only one we can obtain for him from Thornton's Chocalate Cabin is not quite up to snuff.

Discontinued? / Old Jamaica Bars
« on: January 31, 2008, 12:04:23 am »
This is not about Old Jamaica Bars ( I remember the television advert with a voice similar to Robert Newton's Long John Silver, saying, "Old Jamaky", or some such guff). Not a pleasant confection. I recall it had that nasty faux rum flavour. A bit like the disgusting Wall's Rum and Raisin emulsion which passed for ice cream.

However, the Tiffin was a substantial snack. Not only chocolate but crushed biscuit ( and not that aerated Ricicle stuff, but bits of digestive) and raisins. I remember buying it from my local sweetshop/newsagent and I think it was 6d a bar. Was it in an orange wrapper? Who made it? Is it still on sale?

I must be told to get some relief from these sleepless nights.
