They're the poor mans substitute for marmite on toast. Why eat twiglets when you can have marmite on toast?

Yeah, well, technically, with all that water, sugar and gunk in there, it is a cram to fit any cranberry juice in.

ps, half the cheese is eaten, and I'm not dead yet.
pps.

So it's like orange squash?

I like tart and dry they are always oversweetened for my taste.

Eat a lot of raw black currants do we, or rosehips, or redcurrants, or gooseberries?

There's a recipe for chocolate and stilton balls in the Green & Black's chocolate book. I was going to have a go with the Christmas leftovers.

That reminds me. I heard that boo is an aborigine word for "comes back". Apparently, a normal merengue doesn't come back when you throw it...

I can't think of any food I despise as much as I despise cranberries. I'd sooner eat twiglets.
