A Taste of yester-year
« on: February 01, 2010, 07:44:04 PM »
Stood at the checkout this evening when I spotted Farleys rusks on offer. My youngest is 26 now, so it's a long while since I tasted these, but use to love eating them as biscuits

I can confirm that they taste as good now as they did then  smile:
