Savoury over sweet. Crisps and crackers over chocolate and cake - 
figs rolls and fig cakes are an exception.

I would be willing to swap out the Victoria sponge for a raspberry coconut loaf cake from M&S if that’s a bit more to your taste? But for balance you do need a vanilla cake with jam in there somewhere because it’s the ultimate original birthday cake! Can’t axe tradition, well some will probably pluck out a feminist reason to axe it but hey I’m a grandma so…I mean, who really needs unclogged arteries in 2021. Science can fix what the contents of this tin destroys.
give me a few minutes to get the spreadsheet out and list my pros and cons before I commit to an answer.
but this… this should be reported.
3. Lemon cake
4. Victoria sponge
5. Coffee & walnut
Unfortunately rules are rules and lemon and coffee & walnut can’t be subbed or removed. Coffee & walnut isn’t an every day cake I get that but it’s worthy of a number 5 spot. Think out in the garden during the clock change at spring when we lose an hours sleep, plated up with a cup off coffee it’s like an ultra wake up mid morning treat! I also can’t sub the lemon I’m afraid, now it’s not lemon drizzle, think lemon cake with icing oh it’s so good I hope can taste it!
Same here. I’m a nurse and Sundays are just so much betterMe too. I like my days off in the week. It’s not exactly quieter at weekends where I work (those darn patients still insist on being looked after) but no consultant ward round, no Teams meetings, no urgent paperwork to do.
I like her music and lyrics, but her voice is too thick... I can't explain it but it's a thick tone (if that makes sense)
I guess it depends on circumstances etc. I would never expect any of that, I couldn’t imagine asking for money as a gift. Seems so crass
Ah I preferred her when she was fat and wasn’t a wanky American wannabe
I love the thought that went into this but, you’re unfortunately still wrong.
- Angel cake/Madeira. A classic for a reason. Take it up a notch with a marzipan condom, the humble batten berg.
- Basic witch chocolate is always a staple so I’ll throw that on the list. If it’s coffee even better.
- Ginger/Jamaica cake.
- cherry bakewell.
- Christmas cake.
controversial I know, the more alcohol it’s steeped in the better.
- rice crispy cakes.
the best dessert however is rice pudding, left to sit for hours like you’re dining on an old folks hospital ward. I’m not joking.

I like that skin that develops on warm milk.
I couldn't even drink warm milk or milk at room temp
Grape medicinal syrup is delicious
Snails are delicious 
I like fig rolls
Aldi dupes of Bounty bars, Romeo, and Lion bars, Roar, are better than the originals by a country mile

If you can't say anything nice, please don't say anything
Jaffa cakes are lovely even at my age I could still eat a full pack by myself.Why do people dislike them. As for fig rolls when I was a child I used to hate them, but now I like them. Not love but like.
I was going to mention this but didn't know how to describe it, this and the skin on coffee makes me feel sick if I accidentally get it in my mouth.
How can you like it, you would be better of eating a balloon.

But the way it’s celebrated I mean. I hate it. I’ll answer the door and my kids gets dressed up and we give out sweets and they eat all the sweets but I cannot shake the feeling that it’s just not right. No kids don’t take sweets ott strangers except on Halloween then it’s okActually Halloween came from Celts, so Americans copied us

What about in tea / hot chocolate?I couldn't even drink warm milk or milk at room temp
I don't know, I think it tastes extra milky and is quite tasty. I quite like the unusual slightly chewy texture tooIf you can't say anything nice, please don't say anything

I wrote before that brits can’t cook but upon reading this thread I’ll go beyond and say english native speakers have no tastebuds.
Is this Basil Rathbon using another account name?Snails are delicious
