First off today, sorry for being away so long, its been a long, hard fortnight at work which had forced me to take a momentary brake from blogging. Now on more important things, I have returned to Quordon muffins and the limited edition puddings range for this latest taste test.
My hopes with these muffins have diminished proportionately with each one I have tried, so came to this one with a slight hesitancy and low expectations. The texture again had a denser consistency, which, with its moistness, gave the muffin a delightful gooeyness and decadence that was really appropriate, and befitting of the conceptual flavour. The warmth of pudding captured in the rich aroma, but lacked the buttery essence. Biting in, it had rather one-dimensional toffee taste that’s pleasant but has no depth or development. Sweet but without the necessary creaminess, and a lack of the essential dates gave it an experience that was closer to a synthetic confectionary rather than what it aspired to.
Essentially, it captures the generic mass produced taste of Sticky Toffee pudding, but finally one of this Quordon range actually has a stronger flavour. With these desserts being such an integral part of our British food heritage, it would be preferable if a little more care and attention was taken in with these mass produced ‘interpretations’. For Shame again.
