I used to love those, I remember eating them in the 70's with my glass of ginger ale.

My mum used to buy about 6 boxes each year from the local discount shop and then force feed them to us throughout the festive season :x

Me and my sis used to fight over the middle bit. If you ate it you were 'the essence of Christmas', believe it or not. My English was better when I was 8 than now.
