I admit it. I've been a dodgy, barely-there, ghost of a blogger these past few weeks. As has been pointed out to me, I have a duty to my readers that has gone unfulfilled. So this weekend I'll be trying to catch up with many of the things I've been eating and taking photographs of since I last posted.
Let's start with these queer biscuits. Jammie Dodgers were a birthday gift from Dan -- and British to boot.
What does the package claim? "Delicious stretchy jam splodged [ed: !] at the heart of 2 yummy shortcake biscuits."
What would my description be? "Two shortbread cookies sandwich a red jam that is meant to be raspberry. The cookies are slightly dry. The jam is terribly hard and chewy. The result is unsettling."
My description is a little too long and not very lyrical. But at least it doesn't use the word "splodged."

strechy is not an adjective you want used with jam. thanks for catching up after your hiatus! i am enjoying reading...
True. I didn't find the jam to be stretchy, honestly, but it is disturbing if that is what they were aiming for.
