Thanks, partner. May your mission be a good one. Ps, recommend Granite Kitchen five or six doors down for a coffee and cake!Guller Bull wrote: ↑Wed Aug 09, 2023 8:45 pmThere will be pictorial evidence ( if I can find how to post a picture)
There will be "straight from the bakers mouth!" conclusive evidence.
There will be shameful advertising.
And if I can blag it - tastings!
Might try and get there tomorrow!

All this talk
I’ve went to the bakers this morning and picked up one of these.
I’ll have it with my lunch later and may put a photo on

Closer to Burnley…. Or right in it actually…. Why did Oddies stop doing apple charlottes? They were always sold out, but without explanation one day, they just removed them from their menu.

Re: FAO Scottish Clarets (who frequent bakeries)
OK - went to Marchbanks bakers in Dalbeattie. chatted to the two ladies and mentioned this thread. They said that they have had a few queries from "tourists" recently regarding the same query. They said that one lady even kicked up a fuss and fetched a slice back because there was "No custard in it!" even though she had bought a Vanilla Slice!!!!
Unfortunately when I went today early afternoon there were neither of each left. We agreed that I would go back next week earlier in the day for photographic evidence.
One of the ladies tried to explain the difference, something to do with "made with cream in one and with summat else in another" but when there were no tasters to accompany the explanation I kind of lost interest!
They did say that they remembered the chap and he was a lovely young man (OK made that bit up!)
To be continued

Re: FAO Scottish Clarets (who frequent bakeries)
This is just wonderful market research and thorough too. I have 100% faith in your story. It sounds spot on. But….
…I do hope you will return
Cream sounds right though…my wife thought they said cream too. How can you have vanilla cream… unless it’s Chantilly cream, which I believe is cream flavoured with vanilla!!!!

Latest stop…
MOFFAT
The lady in the shop started talking about one being custard, one being cream…no reference to vanilla. I’m no wiser, but still, this is my childhood…
