Ahh Tunnocks Teacakes. Drop one in the bottom of a mug, pour over hot chocolate, add a scoop of mini marshmallows, top off with a big squirt of squirty cream and put a Cadbury Flake into the cream like a 99. Sprinkle the cream with some chocolate powder and voila! A taste sensation!

They're made in Scotland. But they want a 'southern' name for them, one that gives a little more 'cachet'! And they got as far as Yorkshire. They'd have been better callin' 'em chocolate muffins.why are those things called teacakes?
