I have learned of and since tried many genuinely helpful new foods on MFP and I am grateful. But here is also where I first heard of the mighty tiffin. En route home to Canada via Heathrow, I found a tiffin. It was marvelous. Dangerously yummy. Good thing my flight leaves soon.

    I have no heard of this tiffin before. I looked it up, but got a food container as a result, not a food. What is it? o:

    "Tiffin is a form of cake-like confection composed of crushed biscuits (most commonly digestive biscuits), sugar, syrup, raisins and cocoa powder, often covered with a layer of melted chocolate...following preparation of the mixture, the confection is chilled until set....the product may also be known as fridge cake."
