Tablet
Tablet is a wonderfully Scottish way to die, and not to be confused with tablets, which are horrible medical things that are impossible to swallow.
I decided that since I can't buy tablet in Sheffield, and no-one seems to know what it is, that I would make some. I can tell you, since I am sitting next to it as I eat this, that the tablet I have made tastes wonderful.
Unfortunately, the tablet doesn't look quite as good. In fact, it resembles a cat's litter tray. Of course, it still tastes good, but the appearance could do with a major upgrade...
So, a tip to all potential makers of Scottish tablet: firstly, use this recipe. It's a good'un. Secondly, don't make my mistake of either simmering the mixture for too long, or for letting the mixture set (and it sets very quickly!) in the pot. Otherwise, you'll get a cat's litter tray like me.
When I have consumed what is left of my kilo of sugar disguised as dessert, I may try again, having learnt from my experiences. And no, you can't have a bit. It's all mine - MINE!
Ok, maybe you can have a little bit. A smidgin, perhaps. I'll think about it.
