Always a choux à la crème (profiterole) especially the ones with a big dribble of chocko all over them ... yum!

In the 60s my Mum always brought back Fenwick's meringues from the Toon ... they were big, off white in colour and filled with real cream (not that horrible chemical cream).

Fenwicks is still good for cakes.

The Pagan Names for the months recorded by Bede in his De Temporum Ratione include 'Solmonath' the month of cakes for February

I had unlimited access to the back door to Carricks when we lived at the Market Place....... no wonder I ended up a bloater.
