OHHH

 

 

:laugh3:

If you're eating British Jelly Babies then please call them sweets. We don't do "Candy". :P

I've found the hard way that if one picks up too many British expressions at a time, people start thinking they're a bit crazy. I'm at my limit already. But I will try.

 

<edit> or were they jelly beans? I forget...

They were Jelly Babies.

 

Well the ones I was eating the other night during the listening party looked more like these:

 

That was the kind I had!

 

What are jelly babies? And I always wanted curly wurlies and they are only sold in Europe, until I went to this store, and found them :wacky:

Pete's Frootique is awesome. And they have curly wurlies. But I don't think they exist out west.

The shoe store I work at is going to sell them and popcorn and grills.

OMG! I CANNOT believe most people haven't had jelly babies on here! I thought they were universal! I don't indulge them all at once but a couple every now and again is heavenly. I'm telling you, British "candy" or sweets as we call them is the best in the world. And I'm not even going to go start rambling about British chocolate!

Do you have haggis-flavour jelly babies in Scotland?:rolleyes:

Look at that soft powdery sugar covering! And no Mark, what sort of race do you take us for? You probably think we deep fry our mars bars..... oh wait.

Have you ever tried one of those?:lol:

No. I'll stick to my battered sausages for the moment.

Here's a deep fried mars bar - served in all Scottish fish and chip shops.

Battered sausages and porridge?:rolleyes:

That's a weird dish. If I suggested that someone would actually do it and before you know it, it'd be another Scottish dish!

I think the Belgians and the Swiss have good reason to argue with you on the chocolate issue, but as for candy in general, YES.

 

I think it's partly because you guys have much tighter controls on what can go in to them. Like in America most companies add lots of food wax to their chocolates to save money. Makes for nice cheap chocolate, but terrible quality if you want something good. :tongue:

:laugh3: I thought deep-fried mars bars were more of a southern delicacy.

 

There's a resturant here- Mexicali Rosa's- that sells deep fried ice cream, and it's to die for its so good, and so terrible. :dead:

 

Deep fried pickles are awesome too... :uhoh:

 

The funny thing is I don't even like deep fried fries normally. :\ Baked is less greasy.

Jelly Babies good

Jelly Beans better :)

what about Jelly tots dave?
