Cherry Bakewell Tart

 

No trip to England would be complete without a Bakewell tart... or a Cherry Bakewell tart. I saw my much sought after tart a few times in our travels perched in bakery windows however at that time we were on the go and I wasn't in the mood for one. I finally found and settled on these from Marks and Spencer food hall. Viewing the boxed tarts I had to wonder what happened to Mr. Kipling's Cherry Bakewells. I know they are still in existence and out there somewhere. I have stumbled across them online with British import shops however finding a box in person on our trip was nil. Perhaps I wasn't looking in the right places. These were not full sized tarts but two bite mini tarts. Still lovely and had that sweet fruit almond flavour wrapped in a buttery flaky pastry that is always expected and never disappoints with a Cherry Bakewell. Maybe one day I will be reunited with a box of Mr. Kipling.

Food Photo of the Day ~ Lime Pickle

I was a bit unsure where to categorize this post so I put it under a few, food photo of the day, random thoughts, and finds and favourites, if I haven't done so already. Myself, or rather, we quite enjoy lime pickle and Marks & Spencer make a fantastic one. This was the last jar we had and for awhile it was holding on for all it was worth and the other night it came to a culinary end. Poof! the lime pickle... finished. Lime pickle is not only enjoyed while we are eating curry or with poppadoms. I absolutely like making grilled cheese and lime pickle sandwiches! Which are quite tasty.    

Until we meet again... thanks for the delicious memories!

Hope everyone had a great weekend. This week is flying by, it is Wednesday already and before I can blink it will be Saturday. - JD
