Parma Violets

So, Mr D ……

…….. with belated reference to your missing, but since retrieved comment/query (that somehow found it’s way into our spam box), as to whether Parma Violets are still a thing in the UK and as such, readily available in the shops  ……

.… well, yes, they very much are! In fact, Young Master Bertie is quite partial to the odd packet or two from Nigel’s “treat bag” on the way home from school, so the little fella tends to buy them in a bulk bag from our local Home Bargains store at the start of every month.

However, accepting the aforementioned Bertie, they still remain, for a lot of people, an acquired taste ………

….. so please except our wholehearted apology  if this  childhood memory triggers you, especially, as we strongly suspect, said fragrant confectionary is not available in Mexico, sometimes, unfortunately, that’s the price you have to pay for living somewhere soooooooo impossibly and romantically exotic …….. but just for you, we’ll break open and share a pack, completely unfettered, for you re-live and imagine past pleasures!
