I get a strong sense of nostalgia when I think of Mcvitie's Jamaica Ginger cake. Memories of my Granny cutting me a slab with a cup of hot sweet milky tea. I remember biting into the sweet spicy and moist sponge, totally satisfying, very filling and what teat-time treats are really all about.
The tea is now sugarless, the milk almost non existent and I somehow forget how mush I love this McVitie's cake, very naughty but worth every sinful bite!
I love the new Rustie Lee campaign, another favourite who was long overdue in being back.
Jamaica Ginger cake tastes as good as ever, rich, soft sponge, hot with ginger and sweet as ever.
Also satisfying was getting to trot out old old joke on Conor, when I showed him the packet and asked "What's this called?" "Jamaica Ginger Cake" he says.
"No McVitie's did!" I quipped, then as he formulates the joke his smile widens and he wanders off laughing.
