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.

Ah right, I know where you mean, I thought that was a trusthouse forte, not the holiday inn. Thats where I got confused.

It probably was; I think the Trusthouse chain was bought out by Holiday Inn a couple of years back.

I drive past it all the time, just never look.

I like going to the gallows nearby.

Yup, On the broadway in Walsall, the news agents opposite the Toby Inn.

Also Woolworths Walsall had them.

Found them in Woolies in Brum

What do you think of them. I haven't tried them yet, it's still lent.

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!
