Caterpillar fake

Turned out I had £20 on my voucher so I immediately used half of it on a tiny bottle of perfume, probably use the rest on food next week. As has been mentioned before M&S seem to have been on the brink for well over a decade, it was nearly deserted yesterday despite town being busy and there still being queues outside quite a few other shops so I'll just get some overpriced pizza and wine before they finally sink.

They've really dumbed down their wine range, and completely got out of the 'fine wine' market, at least online. Perhaps there's still the odd bottle left in the Marble Arch store. They were always selling off stuff for a third the normal price e.g. £125 bottles of Taittinger Comtes for £45.

This thread has made me think and realise, I've never bought anything from them. No underwear or any of their food. Sorry M&S.

My eldest decided she wanted an ironic birthday cake for her 16th, so went for a Colin. And it's actually quite surprisingly good. I thought it'd be really rubbish chocolate cake and lots of cheap chocolate coating (it's such thick hard chocolate, it's not really icing). Maybe it is. But the overall combination worked really well.

Not planning to try Aldi's though I bet it's all that soapy Moser Roth shite.

Has no one mentioned the thing were you buy several caterpillar cakes, cut some heads and arses off and push them altogether so you get one giant one?

The Caterpillar Centipede?

So they'd all be joined together in a ring? I could have a bunt at that.[nb]

See if you can guess what that is from the URL alone, go on.

Snug as a bug in a batter rug.

Not to be found in a Glasgow Salad.

Lovely stuff. Prime CaB!

I guessed it (even though the URL is wrong saying "... -glasgow-west-...": the chip shop's in fact in East Kilbride, not "Glasgow-west", aka the West End. Did you read the article?)... That aside, does anyone really want to eat fish n chips from oil that's just fried a huge chocolate cake? No thanks.

Someone on Twitter just lauded Aldi's Vienetta clone as being superior to the original, anyone tried and can confirm/refute?

Tastes like the older recipe to me, IE pre-2015 or so. From what I can tell real Vienetta changed to become much blander around then. Probably sugar-tax-related?

Only things I ever bought there were a new peacoat (pretty decent) and a Buffalo Chicken Pizza, which was pretty crap but reduced to like £2 I think.

Doesn't rhyme.

^Heh!

And if you want a caterpillar cake
Don't despair, we also do Caterpillar cakes... er, mate?!

wonder if you could deep-fry a load of cum

For a treat we used to get what were known as "scraps"* from the chippy on a Friday night.

*Leftovers - what our parents couldn't eat - would probably be a more accurate word.
