dear god, the Cadbury Creme Scotch egg. Not quite as gross as it sounds—no meat, just sweet in this one. Still gross of course.

Jessie Oleson, our favourite Dessert Detective and maven of sweetness otherwise known as Cakespy (previously featured here), has outdone herself once again. This ooey-gooey creation is a Cadbury Creme Scotch Egg.

A traditional Scotch Egg is a savoury treat consisting of a hard-boiled egg wrapped in sausage meat, coated in breadcrumbs and deep-fried. The Cadbury Creme Scotch Egg, while no healthier, is all about sweetness:

“The Cadbury Creme Scotch Egg is coated with a thick cocoa-kissed batter, then coated in cookie crumbs and deep-fried. When eaten warm, the taste calls to mind that of a deep-fried candy bars that one can find at state fairs. Though in my opinion, these have slightly more complex flavor thanks to the cocoa in the batter and the vanilla cookie crumbs. Speaking of the crumbs, they also give the treat a pleasing crunch, which acts as a nice texture contrast to the cakey batter and soft, gooey chocolate and sugar-filled interior.”

Looking at these photos makes our teeth hurt and our stomachs rumble. Oh sweet Cadbury Creme Eggs, how we’ll miss you once you’re gone for the year.

‘Yes, “Milkaroni” would have been a good name’, says an actual ad for Quaker brand milk spaghetti in 1921. How surprising that it doesn’t still exist today, with marketing chops like that. Eh? By Captain Geoffrey Spaulding via mudwerks

Setting aside my home wildlife adventure for the moment… wows. *Bacon Cinnamon Rolls*!!! via archiemcphee:

Holy smokes, where has this awesome recipe been all our lives? If you like bacon (mmm… .bacon) and sweets as much as we do then you’ll want to head directly over to the Rainy Day Gal website and copy her mouthwatering recipe for Bacon Cinnamon Rolls. It’s an incredible combination of sweet and savoury that sounds pretty simple to prepare.

Delicious and easy to make? Everyone wins! We can’t wait to go home and make our own batch. Maybe we can duck out early if we promise to bring some to work tomorrow…

“Health and Virility for men and women of all ages” that’s the promise of the book “Eat Your Troubles Away” (1955) by Lelord Kordel courtesy of wackystuff on Flickr. via impaledsiilence. I do not think that word means what you think it means…

Virility refers to any of a wide range of masculine characteristics viewed positively. It is not applicable to women or to negative characteristics.

Pretty interesting example of artistically playing with your food. Rice pigs? Hard to identify what everything on the platter is. And whether it is food or some playdoh type thing.
