impulsive international travel, yay! i’m off to cold rainy northern england for the next six days. in the meant time, i’ll leave you to ponder one of the great mysteries of british cuisine:

thornton’s original special toffee. made in the traditional way since 1925. ingredients: sugar, glucose syrup, sweetened condensed milk, butter, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, margarine, humectant (sorbitol), partially inverted cane syrup, salt, flavouring.

the food of the gods.
