December 20, 20169 yr Author Canny Lass - adding your answers to my initial 5 'give-aways' gives you a score of 16 out of 40. I had to change No 17 to 'Wispa' for the Microsoft Excel built in code to give you a TRUE (it's an old excel sheet with built in functions and protected cells that are password protected and I don't have the password. No 27 - wrong big cat
December 20, 20169 yr Well, if you're allowed to 'adjust' the answers, then 12 might be Dolly mixtures, 15 is definitely Chocolate Buttons, 19 could be Fruit gums 29 must be Minstrels and 22 is probably a Yorkie. You will be forgiven for thinking that I have a sweet tooth. I daren't answer Nr.8 Edited December 20, 20169 yr by Canny lass

December 22, 20169 yr I used to love Caramac I think its still available and I loved Five Boys by Fry . It all tasted so good then, And look at the prices Edited December 22, 20169 yr by moe19

Can't get it here and I haven't seen it for a long time on my visits to Blighty - mind you, I haven't been looking. Did you know that there's a Norwegian cheese that tastes just like Caramac? It's called 'Brunost' (Brown cheese) or sometimes 'Mysost/Mesost'. If you like Caramac you'll love it. It's not like any other cheese I've ever tasted. Made from the whey, rather than the cream, of milk from any animal. I'm particularly fond of the goatsmilk one. The whey is boiled and reduced until the sugar in it caramelises then they add cream. Tastes wonderful!
December 22, 20169 yr Caramac is still available, although it did disappear for a while! You can get other Caramac flavoured things as well I believe. We have had some of that cheese and it is delicious although not easy to obtain. The only suppliers we have obtained it from are a small deli in Ripley and herself assures me that Selfridges in Manchester stocks it (although no doubt it is available online.
