Trail snacks

Can't beat home-made flapjacks (from the Winnie-the-Pooh cookbook...), and fruit 'biltong', with hazelnuts, raisins, chocolate drops, dried apple and banana bits, sunflower and pumpkin seeds and freeze-dried blueberries. Pumpkin (or watermelon seeds) are great, 'cos in the warmer parts of the world, you can plant them in each camp you make, and next year you might be pleasantly surprised...

Hobnon Flapjacks?

Being a huge fan of choccy Hobnobs (kept in the fridge - of course) I'm ashamed to say I've never tried them.

Have to keep a good look out. Sound yummy

This thread has popped up again and I was still convinced it said Snail Tracks!

I've discovered that our local Farm Shop sells mini Kendall mint cakes, fit neatly into a possibles pouch

Green & Blacks... the most glorious dark organic chocolate...get it in supermarkets in the organic section.. even the milk version is quite dark... no going back to cadburies once you've tried this stuff... FairTrade too... unfortunately the company has just been sold to Nestle.... edited for accuracy.. actually it's Cadbury Schweppes who've taken over, thanks Sheryl.

All in the name of research don't-you-know

It's OK Andrew, according to Green & Black's website they've actually been taken over by Cadbury Schweppes. *relief*

You really had me worried there. We've been boycotting Nasty-Nestle for a number of years now and the [size=-1](Expletive deleted) [/size]evil giant just keeps swallowing up one previously sound company after another! I couldn't believe it when I spotted their logo on After Eights a couple of years ago, my favourite chocolates in all the world. They even own water! Try buying a bottle of water without the Danone logo on it and Danone are now owned by, guess who...?

At least they haven't got their grubby little hands hands on Green & Blacks after all

thanks for putting me right Sheryl, I won't have to go without... my midwife friends would have tortured me with strange midwifery type tools if I'd bought Nestle stuff.

let's hope that Cadbury don't mess it up.

I saw an interview with the former owner of Green & Black's, and from what i remember, part of the deal was that Cadburys were going to leave the existing management team in control and no changes to the product were to be made what so ever. You know how these things sometimes turn out though, but we live in hope

I just went to Sainsburys to get some Green & Blacks!

It's lovely! I can't eat a whole bar - which is a first!

Very Rich!

That's it - back to the fridge

BTW - It's 30p off a bar at the mo

I was given a box of assorted Green & Black's chocolates at Xmas......the white stuff is excellent but it's still hard to beat Maya Gold

Cheers,

Try the one with butterscotch chips in - bet you can!

Re: Cadbury takeover: I hope they mean it (about not touching the product OR its ethical sourcing of RMs[1] I'll be watching and fully prepared to withdraw my custom

Cadbury certainly used to be good guys themselves. Quaker origins, Worker Vilage, Worker Health Care etc... Haven't researched them lately but I've heard nothing to the contrary. I confess I don't know anything about the Schweppes background but I'm hopeful they'll leave G&B to their own devices, pretty much.
