Sorry Aldi, But No Nom Nom

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, our first ever Good Friday with Alice ..... and our traditional Hot Cross Bun Elevenses turned out to be nothing but a no nom nom fiasco!

It was a morning that promised much, with Darrell securing a packet of Aldi Banoffee Hot Cross buns for our festive delectation ........

....... however, it has to be said that said buns, despite the tangible and palpable build up we gave them, completely failed to deliver.  They were, to put it bluntly "flipping awful"  .........

...... with absolutely nothing of a rich and indulgent nature to sing the praises of.

Said buns did have a hint of banoffee, but they were devoid of any moist. As for being packed full of fudge pieces, well, let's just say any fudge was conspicuous in its absence, as we didn't find a single piece.

But it gets worse, because the "holy cross" on each bun was the thing of nightmares, as they were, honestly, like chewing on one of those pigs ears that you see on pet stalls on a market! 

They were truly awful and as such, there was only one place for them, apart from the bin, (which would have been wasteful) .......

...... to wit, straight out of the window, to be enjoyed by our not quite so discerning bird life, minus the holy crosses, as we didn't want to be found guilty of any nefarious feeding by the NSPCB, should any unfortunate bird meet their end by choking upon one.

What poor Alice must have made of our appalling hospitality glitch goodness only knows, but thankfully, we were still able to offer her a few seasonal Mr Kipling delicacies instead, to hopefully make up for our unintentional, seasonal faux pas!

Questions may need to be asked in Parliament after the Easter Break, especially as we felt totally unable to give any score (plus or minus) on our world famous Richter Scale of Noms ........ which is an unheard of.  Aldi, on this occassion, has failed us abysmally!
