Of course, but after visiting Austria a couple times they would get my vote for "nation with best cakes/pastries"

The bakery in my supermarket has an awesome moist and dense chocolate cake with cherries that I like to partake in on cheat days.

I've been impressed with the carrot cake at my local Morrison's.   

(I've been very impressed with UK carrot cakes in general, really)

How often have you been to Portugal?

I think UK cakes/desserts are often quite good - they are in no way sophisticated, or technically impressive as in Austria but they are tasty

In particular a custard tart, treacle tart or sticky toffee pudding

WEll, I got the first shot of the vaccine on the 5th, and just teted positive for Covid yesterday. Yeah!

Nasty cough, headache, generally very achy, but no fever.

Oh man, I tried sticky toffee when I visited Scotland and that was quite the revelation. That and salted caramel.

Milka used to have (still has?) milk chocolate with a salted TUC cracker on top. Surprisingly tasty.

Honest to God the greatest thing Britain's contributed to the world in the last 50 years

Also love a banoffee pie which is a similarly 1970s invention.

As I say I realise our desserts are not as elegant as, say, French patisserie or Austrian. But I think there is an enormous amount going for just adding melted sugar to everything and see if it works

I'll have to take a look next time I go to Lidl.

Argentinians do the same with dulce de leche.
