When I was a small child in the 1970s I used to like Mr Kipling's Fondant Fancies. I used to eat as many as my mother would allow. You can still buy them. Now I think they are beyond horrible... but somehow I've never let go of the idea I like gooey mush... however it has been sinking in slowly that I find cupcakes sickly now (too much icing, too little sponge), am really not that fond of gooey chocolate cake... not even carrot cake if covered in too much gooey, cheap topping...
Inversely, I always thought that wholemeal flour was something you ate cos it was good for you... then just for the hell of it, I tried a River Cottage Honey wholemeal cake - really plain - just a sponge with wholemeal flour and almonds - with honey trickled over at the end. It was fabulous. Spurred on by the big packet of wholemeal flour I had a go at Apple and oat muffins - they were delicious too. My tastes have obviously changed. I am a convert.
Any ideas of what else I might like?
