Abricot Barquettes Review |
Dear Nicey,
Great to see one of my childhood favourites being reviewed on your site. I have many a fond memory of the 'boat biscuits from France'. Please note however that it's best to eat all the sponge first, saving the jam/centre for that special last bite. I prefer the strawberry ones to apricot, and you can also get chocolate ones now, taste like nutella, yummy.
Kind regards

Abricot Barquettes Review |
Nicey,
I long believed your website to be a leading exponent in shoring up Great British traditions such as putting off what you could do now until you've had a sit down, a nice cup of tea and a cake or biscuit to
accompany it. Yet, in your recent write up on Abricot Barquettes, you state that "removing the apricot jam from its small trough then pushing your index finger through the bottom bore a strong resemblance to an airplane."
Please assure me that this reference to "airplane" is a simple typographical error on your part and that the omission of the "o" is not a futile attempt to pander to an American audience.
Kind regards

Nicey replies: Ian,
We are not big on pandering to anyone really, but we do have more than the occasional run in with spell checkers that are keen on swapping 's' for 'z' and dropping 'u's entirely. Sometimes it sneeks a small victory.
