I love teacakes, and while Tunnocks are the default the ones I actually grew up on were the M&S versions because that's what my Grandma Evelyn bought. We'd have all the varieties, especially those with jam in them, and because they are reviving these and have a whole range of luxury bag/boxes (with only 6 in) they deserved a pick up - even at service station prices. Behold the roof of our lovely blue car.
And these are huge! While it's hard to get scale I'd say these are 50% larger than a standard Tunnocks and much more similar to how I remembered them. In terms of bites they are a par three.
That said - a Tunnocks is 24g so this is only 6g heavier even with the size difference - and I think that's because of the biscuit which here is quite light.
Consequently eating these in the back of a car was a messy affair and I didn't get a picture - and a box of 6 doesn't last long with 4 of us.
The jam didn't hit as much as I'd expected, but I could taste the rhubarb, and the mallow was very floaty and sticky. The pack mentioned no meaty ingredients but didn't flag them as veggie which is a worrying trend. Surely grown-ups don't get upset if something is veggie/halal ?
Eitherway these are ace. And if I am near an M&S I'll be trying the whole range (I'll snap better pictures then - the service station was busy).
