Tunnock's Tea Cakes review

As requested by a viewer, this is my overview and opinions on the Tunnock tea cake. From humble beginnings in a small shop in Glasgow in 1890, Thomas Tunnock began selling baked goods and basic confectionery until 1950. Throughout the 1950s, Tunnock expanded his business and began producing tea cakes, caramel wafers and the coconut covered snowball as well. These products were so successful that now, 5 million caramel wafers are made and sold each week, and they are exported to 30 countries worldwide.

I haven't had a Tunnock product in rather a long time, but I'm glad that I picked some tea cakes up again today, even if they aren't actual tea cakes, as they really are very nice. One of their ways of standing out among biscuits with marshmallow in them, is that they use fresh egg whites rather than gelatine, making for a much creamier and less jelly like consistency and taste. They come individually wrapped in foil, and come in packs of 6 in Asda at least. I bought mine for 90p, but prices will vary depending on where you buy them. Nutritional content per tea cake is as follows;

106 calories
1.2g of protein
14.9g of carbohydrates
Of which sugars 8.6g
4.6g of fat
Of which saturates 2.5g
0.6g of fibre

Where can I get those ? I saw there is arabic words under the box Do you live inthe middle east ?

[LouisWasTaken]

@realjuvelive Lol, no. I live in the UK and I bought these from Asda. It's a supermarket chain like Tesco which is owned by Walmart. If you're in the UK, you'll be able to find these in most supermarkets and newsagents and things without any trouble. They export to lots of different countries but I guess they're harder to find. Try scottishfoodsoverseas(dot)com.­I'm not sure why they have Arabic on them really. It might be becuase they're popular in Saudi Arabia too.

I remember having these when I was a kid on holiday in the UK. Harder to find in Australia, but I might have a look out for them now.

Thanks for the review. I'm American and just discovered these. They are pure heaven! I would love to see if you have a review of the Snowballs. Chocolate from the U.K. is a million times better than it is in the U.S.! These are to die for!!
