This looks absolutely exquisite 😍No time for the Hot Cross buns - will have to do them next week, as this Chocolate (orange) Fudge cake needs eating up now this week. [emoji23][emoji23]

I would have to say that in my esteemed moose opinion, chocolate oranges have gone down in standards over the years. Far to grainy for my liking these days. But the cake looks great none the less.

Returning to the Chelseas, one of my favourite buns. There is a bakers in Stroud, now Walkers but a lot of us still call it Fowlers, they only changed name about 40 years ago
Their Chelseas were legendary and are still very good but do vary.
They also do great Lardies, not the easiest to get right, the sugar outside has to caramelise, too often the poorer varieties have a sugar-cement coating.

Oooh I love a good Lardy cake (or Dripper as sometimes referred to). Just warmed up a little too. I’m getting hungry and now I’m laptopless for a few days (RMAd today for a new keyboard) I don’t need to worry about sticky / greasy fingers. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

It is a long time since I had a Lardy cake. Many years ago a few of us from work would go to Fareham pool at lunchtime for a swim. I usually swam breaststroke for about a kilometre. All the good work was then undone by a trip to the bakery for a piping hot Cornish Pasty and a Lardy Cake.

Like the sound of that. Brown's who supply the football club do a nice chicken madras pie.
That said, Scotland has a seemingly unending variety of great pies. Macaroni pie is rather nice and if you are ever in Arbroath FC, the Steak and Black pudding pie more than makes up for freezing to death watching football in the North Sea.
Bridies, Rowies, Butteries, Stovies are all available up here.
Obviously you need to try the Arbroath Smokies if in the vicinity. We also have Finnan Haddies a bit further north than Arbroath and Cullen Skink, if you prefer your fish in a soup.
