Bakewell - it’s all about the icing. And the jam

Cherry clafoutis, yes!
Raspberry bakewell, yes!
Don’t get confused.

Surely that refers to the ersatz nipple on top (like it or not) not the jam inside ?

Just finished off some Morrison’s bakewells

8 out of 10,would have been a 9,but pastry seems very slightly undercooked
Also at least as sickly as co ops offering after the 3rd one

Raspberry is my favourite jam, but it has no business in a Bakewell tart.

Business disagrees

Waitrose has a Ruprecht version

but even they admit that the cherry is a replacement for the traditional strawb or rasp.

Blackcurrant is my favourite jam, but probably not in a Bakewell.

Eat what you like, but raspberry is still the standard.

This. I blame Brexit for such evidence of weakening of the nation’s moral fibre. Clearly on the slippery slope to icing and cherries…

Consternation over the jam is a pointless thing. They are shit to start with and the Rong jam will make not a sot of difference.

Please refer to your forum title.

Your case is well reasoned and strong but for the fact that Waitrose is the supermarket choice of cunts.

I think a topping layer of marzipan would be an excellent addition :heart_eyes:
