Blackpool Rock

noreply@blogger.com (Blighty's Tuck Store) — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:59:00 +0000

Kiss Me Quick
Blackpool Rock is a legendary British candy. Along with donkeys on the beach, the famous tower and sleazy "Kiss Me Quick" hats, it is a recognized symbol of the famous northwest England seaside resort.

How The Heck Do They Do That?
Blackpool rock's most recognizable feature is the word "Blackpool" running all the way through the length of each stick.

The process starts with boiling a mixture of sugar and glucose at high temperature. The mixture is then poured onto a large flat sheet where it cools.

Chop Chop
Some of the mixture is cut away and dyed the characteristic pink colour for the casing, Another big chunk of the mixture is cut away and dyed red for the lettering. The remaining white mixture is flavoured with peppermint.

Blackpooooooooooooooool
Each letter is formed by hand - about fist-sized - from the red-dyed sugar mixture and wrapped in white sugar mixture. The letters are assembled to form the complete word "Blackpool" then rolled into a thick cylindrical shape and wrapped in the pink casing mixture.

Cylinders of handmade rock candy are then rolled and stretched to a length of thirty feet before being cut to length and wrapped in cellophane for sale.

Blackpool Rock is available for just $2.49 at Blighty's.

noreply@blogger.com (Blighty's Tuck Store) — Wed, 19 Sep 2012 18:32:00 +0000

Horlicks is a malted milk drink made from wheat, malted barley and milk. It is a rich source of vitamin D which is an essential aid to calcium absorption. Horlicks is caffeine-free and contains no artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners or preservatives.

Horlicks is traditionally used as a bedtime drink. Its sweet, malty flavour will lull you into a nice relaxed mood ready for a good night's sleep.

Polo Mints

noreply@blogger.com (Blighty's Tuck Store) — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:28:00 +0000

Polo "the mint with a hole" is one of Britain's favourite candies. Introduced by Rowntree of York in 1948 (now part of the Nestle family) Polo Mints have remained one of the best sellers in the UK and in every corner of the world where fans of traditional British candies can be found.

Horses also love Polo Mints. Perhaps they are attracted by the delicious peppermint aroma. The Duchess of Cornwall regularly feeds Polo Mints to her horses. Since Blighty's is located close to a lot of horse farms we often meet customers who are buying up handfuls of Polo Mints for their "Polo ponies".

When we break the seal on a fresh case of Polo Mints here at the store the minty fresh aroma spreads all around the shop. Keep a pack in your pocket for their refreshing minty flavour - and for when you meet a horse!

Blighty's price $1.29 per tube.

Cadbury Cocoa for Drinking or Baking

noreply@blogger.com (Blighty's Tuck Store) — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:19:00 +0000

A Great Little Mixer
Cocoa is a traditional cold-weather drink in the United Queendom. Mix a couple of spoonfuls of the powder with a drop of milk to make a chocolately paste, then stir in hot milk for a comforting and nourishing hot drink.

But traditional cocoa has been largely replaced by "hot chocolate" mix - a concoction prepared from cocoa, powdered milk and sugar. Tragic really, because real cocoa has real health benefits ... or not.

What is Cocoa?
Cocoa powder is the ground component of cocoa beans after coconut butter has been removed. It is the component that gives chocolate its chocolatey flavour! Cadbury Cocoa Powder is made from 100% cocoa beans.

How Can I Use Cocoa to Get Fat?
Let's face it, not everyone cares about all the wonderful minerals and stimulants in pure cocoa powder, or that it is naturally low in fat. If you just want to use it because you love the flavour of chocolate, you have options.

1. Simple Chocolate Mousse
Stir a tablespoon of cocoa powder and a tablespoon of sugar into thickly whipped cream. Gently mix with some prepared Knox brand gelatin and leave in the fridge until set. Will clog your arteries but tastes great!

2. Chocolate Cake
Bake a big beautiful sponge cake using Greens Sponge Cake Mix (available at Blighty's and online). The instructions are on the packet. Just add a dollop of cocoa powder to the mix and ... voila ... chocolate sponge cake! Oh, and go for a jog afterwards (1 mile per mouthful of cake please).

3. Chocolate Custard
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar to 2 cups of milk and warm in a saucepan. In a small cup or measuring jug add 2 heaped teaspoons of cocoa powder and 2 heaped teaspoons of corn starch and a splash of cold milk; stir until smooth. Stir into the warmed milk and continue to heat the milk until it thickens. Pour over a honking big helping of your chocolate cake and feast your face off.

Marks & Spencer Custard Creams

noreply@blogger.com (Blighty's Tuck Store) — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 21:33:00 +0000

Imagine this; it is mid-afternoon, supper is a long way off and you have the munchies. Fill the kettle, slap it on the Aga and throw a coupla bags of your favourite tea in the pot. Grab a plate, throw a doyly on it and spread some Custard Creams out.

Whistleblower
When you hear the whistle and see the steam rising above the Aga, get ready for some sit back and relax time in your favourite easy chair.

Oh My Gawd!
The doyly is optional but if you have friends round it helps to preserve your reputation when they see you dunk your Custard Cream in your cuppa.

The Umpire Strikes Back
The Custard Cream has been voted Britain's favourite biscuit (or cookie, if you prefer). Custard Creams are a sandwich biscuit filled with a delicious, smooth vanilla cream. A perfect accompaniment to tea in the club house after a jolly game of cricket.

Wow, That Cheap?
Lots of delish biccies for $2.99, brilliant!

Birds Strawberry Trifle Mix

Hot Summer Evenings, Dinner on the Deck
What better to serve on a warm summer's evening than one of the most traditional and best-loved of all English desserts.

Triflingly Easy to Make

Prep takes only a few minutes and the dessert is ready to eat in a couple of hours in the fridge (time for the jelly to set).

A Trifle Tip

Ruskoline Crumb Dressing

noreply@blogger.com (Blighty's Tuck Store) — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 22:35:00 +0000

Ruskoline is described as "crumb dressing". In fact, it's the best suit of clothes a piece of chicken ever wore. It is also a very versatile product that is always to be found in my kitchen cabinet.

And Ruskoline isn't just for savoury dishes either. It is often seen as a way of dressing fish or chicken but I have experimented with using it for all kinds of dishes in my kitchen. I have made bread sauce with it, I have added it to soups and stews to add body. I have even used it in desserts. Mix Ruskoline with a little melted butter and it makes a great base for cheesecakes.

Blighty's recipes blog has a couple of interesting recipes using Ruskoline and both are easy to make. One is savoury (Fried Brussels Sprouts) and the other is a dessert (Queen of Puddings). Why not pick some Ruskoline as a standby and see what great meals you can make with it. Ruskoline lasts for a very long time if you keep it wrapped up and dry.
