I couldn't tell you how often people have had fudge here. :)<br /><br />It's the art of just taking it off the heat just before it turns to fudge that's the trick.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-59043325826342541872010-09-16T15:30:22.569+01:002010-09-16T15:30:22.569+01:00I'm anybodies for a slice of fudge, especially...I'm anybodies for a slice of fudge, especially rum and raisin.

Then again, the A9 is no motorway. It's a dangerous road in many ways.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-77988004807284331552010-09-15T21:01:51.157+01:002010-09-15T21:01:51.157+01:00Allan, sounds wonderful.

What I meant was that it's the only one signposted directly off the road, with lots of parking and no junctions to annoy spouse-on-a-short-fuse (remember, southerners are used to service stations).<br /><br />Next time, I promise you, we'll put more thought into planning!Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-38042366256274652152010-09-15T19:25:24.038+01:002010-09-15T19:25:24.038+01:00Sorry, got to mention my Fiancee's tablet, whi...Sorry, got to mention my Fiancee's tablet, which she makes in the name of Paisley Philamonic...

I never thought I'd see the day when I was directed to the nearest garage when needing fuel. One benefit of my expensive GPS. (The other is that it's up to date with one way streets in Glasgow, yet it doesn't cope with the mess of the present Edinburgh traffic system which changes week by week).subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-34140637374836338042010-09-15T18:43:14.077+01:002010-09-15T18:43:14.077+01:00@wisnaeme, if you're ever on the A9 between Pe...@wisnaeme, if you're ever on the A9 between Perth and Pitlochry, there's always a basket of the stuff by the till in the Dowally craft centre restaurant - worth knowing about because its the only eatery for <i>miles*</i>.<br /><br />*Found - to much relief - while showing the ancestral homeland to a carful of ravenous teenagers.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-5246001266999994042010-09-15T17:48:00.828+01:002010-09-15T17:48:00.828+01:00Joe, that's what I get for being overcome by t...Joe, that's what I get for being overcome by the imaginary taste of crumbling tablet.:)<br /><br />Many thanks for letting me know.subrosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00151702590329788260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116690042850060767.post-7758818980742311092010-09-15T17:47:13.437+01:002010-09-15T17:47:13.437+01:00Ah wisnaeme, a wee shop making its own is a rarity...Ah wisnaeme, a wee shop making its own is a rarity these days.

I've been a fan since the age of five - it was our neighbour's speciality.<br /><br />Once you've had tablet, fudge never quite hits the spot, so I'd welcome its appearance in southern shops, although I'm not entirely convinced they will be able to retain the home-made taste and - more importantly - texture on such a large scale.Macheathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04451439759398780345noreply@blogger.com
