Ginger Nut Review
Nicey replies: Morning Nicky,

I think the stuff was called Instant Whip, which must have harnessed the same sort of alchemy as Angel Delight to turn base cold milk into puddings, using nothing more than a whisk.

We shouldn't forget Sue's original message that prompted all this Welsh cake making.

Fruit
Nicey replies: I'm not sure under which circumstances I would find myself getting aquatinted with such items. It would have to be properly introduced I think as otherwise it seem that I had arrived there out of desperation, which obviously would be a bit undignified (no aspersions cast over your enjoyment of said items ).

Nicey replies: Dear Hiromi,

I think that biscuits can be ingredients in cakes, as the digestive biscuit and ginger nut often form the base for Cheesecakes. So biscuits are quite prepared for this treatment. I don't think it can go the other way though. Perhaps the closest is the sponge fingers that get used in desserts which are very dry and brittle which have almost entered a state where by they could be used as biscuits. Even so that is no the same thing as smashing them up or treating them with a solution that would turn them into biscuits.

Perhaps some of the people outside of Japan should think about that, although you might have to do the translation again.

P.S. I like the strawberry on top, very tempting.

Romany Creams Review
Nicey replies: Yes those Kingstons are fairly much the same idea as the Gypsy Cream, which made a brief come back here a year or two ago. They are made under licence by Arnotts from Bakers of South Africa, and we reviewed them a good while ago now.

Digestive Review
Nicey replies: It seems that you have more local information on this than us, who as you have keenly observed are reading from the history books so to speak. I'm perfectly prepared to keep an open mind on such matters.
