Jammie Dodgers


EisenAndy has moved to Wordpress for a while, to see if it is better than Blogger: and I took the opportunity to get the name Schleckland back, yay!
The address is schleckland.wordpress.com
But I'm keeping Eisen Andy going for now, as it has the best SEO!
Click here for an easy jump to the new blog, see what you think of it.

Oh! Who would have thought that a throwaway comment would cause such a flurry of tweets and emails!

Jammie Dodger

There you are, this is what they look like, now having a second lease of life all through Peter "more fun than a Jammie Dodger" Sagan.

Figgy, this is all your fault - it was you who first described Peter Sagan as "more fun than a Jammie Dodger".

And you are so right, he is.

But what is a Jammie Dodger?

It's a biscuit, all right, a biscuit! Nothing unsavoury, Anna Z, are you listening?

Oh, well technically, unsavoury would be sweet, and they are indeed sweet..

Technical description: two layers of short-bread-type biscuit, embossed sides outward: stuck together with a layer of over-sweet creamy stuff and over-sweet very gluey red jam with added sugar: the top layer has a heart-shaped cut-out through which you can see the jam - this is a particularly important aspect of the true Jammie Dodger.

There are fakes out there, they have a round hole in the top layer, but they are Not Real Jammie Dodgers, and should be avoided.

No, the real Jammie Dodger (slightly less fun than Peter Sagan) has a heart-shaped hole. (A little like certain Schlecklanders, on hearing about TinkerJil, ha! ha!)
