One of the awesome benefits of living where we are in Jacksonville is the Mayport Navy Base is only 10 minutes away and for us this means being able to shop at the Commissary - that is a military grocery store that all active and retired military can use (our Dad was in the Navy for 20 years and is a retired Commander) Shopping at the Commissary is tax free and is one of the few perks that our Military get and well deserve. Anyhoo - the other great thing is that because our military often serve all over the world the Commissaries always have an 'international' aisle where they can find food they might have developed a taste for while overseas. So imagine the happy dance Mom did when she found real Scottish Tea Cakes (we thought of Bertie straight away). These are made in Glasgow, Scotland and Mom LOVES LOVES LOVES them. The are like a soft biscuit base with fluffy marshmallow on top coated in some of the best chocolate ever! Mom also found us something - have you seen the new 'Milkbone - Soft and Chewy Treats' - Denny LOVES these as he is is not at all fond of hard cookies. They come in Chicken Flavor and Beef Flavor. 
Tea Cakes!!!! Oh yum, yum, drool. (That was Mum doing the drooling 'cos I can't eat the chocolate!)

Oh those look yummy!
ReplyDeleteHow cool is that!!
ReplyDeleteDo they have Tunnocks Caramel Wafers too? Gail says they are even better than the teacakes, although I am not allowed either treat due to the chocolate content…
ReplyDeleteToodle pip!
