Black treacle (in those red tins) adds a lovely colour and flavour to any type of fruit cake. I well remember my mother using a tablespoon to drip the stuff into the cake mixture, and my sister and I waiting for ages so we could lick the spoon! I noticed a new trend in Tesco this morning. They've started to group stuff under a huge sign that gives a blanket price. For instance, there was a huge selection of big Easter eggs, all at £10. And the bread seemed to be grouped in blocks of 55p a loaf, then £1 a loaf etc. Perhaps people have a price in mind when they shop (very sensible) and go straight to it like programmed mice. I wish Vim would be 'in' once more. I do miss that and have to buy it on Amazon. I suppose Cillit Bang is now 'in' instead.
