Cheese Bread Wedges
What is it about Heinz tinned soups? They’re actually pretty disgusting – I mean, how do they get that gelatinous texture? It doesn’t bear thinking about.

And then there’s the tomato flavour. ...

Nat’s Chocolate Twister Buns
On meeting a Yorkshireman once, J uttered those immortal words: ‘ooh, I LOVE your puddings’. C has never let her forget it.
