My Good Housekeeping cook book from 1966 has a recipe, so they must go back quite a long way. Don't forget though that most Brits think hush puppies are shoes.

I had always imagined "flapjacks...Interesting! I had always imagined "flapjacks" as an American term -- it just sounded American to me. And in American English, it is simply an old-fashioned synonym for a pancake. I have now learned what it is in in Great Britain: "a sweet dense cake made from oats, golden syrup, and melted butter, served in rectangles." In all my years of having British friends and colleagues here in France, I had never heard them use the word. With blogs, you learn something new every day!Betty Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17155852272383173880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1554428418150974947.post-11552584401310319122014-12-07T12:21:24.962+01:002014-12-07T12:21:24.962+01:00I use all kinds of dries fruit and nuts, sometime...I use all kinds of dries fruit and nuts, sometimes some jam or lemon curd, and even some of the whiskey citrus mincemeat you gave me.

Also, in my experience, two legged mice don't touch things stored in opaque containers. If they can't see it they don't know it's there, even if they saw you making it, apparently.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.com
