Does anyone actually like the 'chocolate' Mr Kipling French Fancies?

In all my years of eating and studying cakes in depth I have yet to meet anyone who actually likes them. The pink ones and the yellow ones are very popular so why not the brown ones?

and what about in those mixed boxes of jam tarts eh! No-one ever goes for the apricot jam ones, they always head for the raspberry jam ones first!

I'm on a roll here now!!

I'm a simple soul, a bourbon biscuit excites me most.

I like the brown one's, although my guess is, if you shut your eyes they'd probably all taste the same!

Never mind the colour preferences :rolleyes: how do you eat them??

Do you pick off all the icing leaving just the sponge behind?

'cos he usually is!!

Brown french fancies don't taste the same as the others, I have been testing this out this week. They don't taste of chocolate either. They just taste brown.

Now, I know that things can't really taste of a colour but they do, just think about cauliflower - on it's own it just tastes white. Or what about peas - they taste green.

you know it makes sense!:wah::sneaky:

I absolutely love them, probably one of my top three favourite cakes!! As for flavour I like all of them, though the pink one is my favourite, not sure why though! :p

You deserve a severe chastisement for these solecisms - it's PARRITCH (porridge is allowed - for those who know no better) and it is stirred with a SPURTLE.

As these are not mortal sins, you shall be allowed to choose your punishment (with the proviso that if it thought too lenient you will be handed over to the coven).

You do actually own a spurtle, I take it?
