  1. After the Three Peaks weekend I scrounged a box of those little gooey
    soreen cereal bars from Steve Colligan. They sat in a cupboard unloved
    and uneaten for a while because I had not yet realised their true
    genius, but now I am a convert; almost to the point where I've hardly
    eaten any proper full-sized malt loaf for ages because these things are
    so ace. They kept me going all weekend through the madness of moving
    house a few weeks ago, and I've just come back from Spain when they
    were absolutely invaluable as emergency
    help-I'm-not-going-to-make-it-up-this-next-mountain snacks.

    But now they've all gone, and I can't find any more. Where do they come
    from, when they're not supplied directly by those nice chaps at Soreen?
    Nobody seems to sell them, and the lack of uncrushable gooey munchy
    goodness is becoming a worry...

  2. Apparently Tesco's sell them - although I've never actually see them.

  4. My local Sainsburys in Holborn sells them.

    For the money though I tend to go for the full size Malt Loaf as you
    get much more gooey goodness for your cash.

  5. I'd better hide my last box from the kids...

    Alternatively you could try this instead, possibly for SSMM breakfast:

    Pan-fried Bacon and Malt Loaf Stacks

    This recipe is inspired by the Scottish tradition of frying slices of
    Christmas pudding and serving it with crisp rashers of bacon. The
    result is in an unexpected and delightful combination of chewy sweet
    bread and salty crisp bacon. Serve this breakfast dish with fresh or
    slow-roasted cherry tomatoes.

    Preparation time: 15 minutes
    Cooking time: 10 minutes

    Full recipe:

  6. Why not try making your own ? I'm sure a man of your calories could
    manage to search on t'interweb for a recipe. I make a (in my humble
    opinion) fantastic bara brith and often adapt the recipe to include
    whatever delectible dried fruits, nuts and seeds happen to fall out of
    my cupboards - sun dried bananas are particularly good 😉 . Go on, get
    baking ! You know it makes sense.

  7. Have you tried those then Keith? It sounds pretty tasty in a weird sort
    of way.

    I got some Christmas Soreen today, haven't tried it yet but it looks
    nice.

    According to Soreen's website, Tesco Express (but not normal Tesco)
    and Co-op are the only supermarkets who stock them, though they might
    be available at any independent who gets them from the cash&carry
    (so you might be able to persuade your local shop to get some in).

    You can also get them from www.expats-shoppingarcade.co.uk, but
    they seem a bit expensive. I don't know how much they cost
    normally, though.

  10. Have you seen these?
    Two slices of Soreen with butter in between.
    They are very gooey, but nice.
    50p a pop.
