Waitrose offerings this year

Succulent filling on the plus side. The pastry however is claggy and lacking in real flavour. I think I’ll try one in the oven to see if it improves

Being a pro taster,i like mine cold with clotted cream

The pro tasters are slow off the mark this year.
Lacking commitment I fear

Pastry "clagage’ is non logarithmic, mainly based on the amount of time, in seconds, it is stuck on the roof of your mouth.

Surely clagage should have two (or three, if you count the last one) g’s

Claggage?

With only one g, it rhymes with Farage

That would imply it would be written clagage but pronounced “slimy Russian funded nauseating self obsessed and utterly odious bunt”

Bunt? :thinking:

Rhymes with.

And apologies I got the initial pronunciation wrong as I forgot the “frog faced” bit.
