# I'm amazed
that none of the other Brits around this morning have made a similar gag!

# I'll confess
that I always enjoyed the Texas fruitcake my Uncle used to send, and that I do love marzipan and dark chocolate, but the twain have never met...in my experience.

# Mmmmm. You can buy marzipan bars covered in dark chocolate in health food shops over here
Mmmmmm. Bloody great. Quite small too so you don't make yourself poorly :o)

# Oh right, well you're not missing out on much
Christmas cake is absolutely disgusting.

Fact!

# Do you not have simnel cake?
Traditional Easter cake - a rich fruit cake, with marzipan covering, decorated with marzipan balls (which represent the disciples, I think).
I didn't make one this year, admittedly, but it is very nice so long as you make your own almond paste, rather than relying on shop-bought marzipan.
If you're ever in England around Easter, I'll make one and give you a slice (that's an easy promise to make).
