How sticky is your sticky toffee pudding?
"... But a former BBC colleague of mine was offered a truly tough poser the other day. She has quit the Beeb and with her twin sister fulfilled their ambition of opening a tea room in the Norfolk village of Wells-next-the-Sea. It is called Bean2theCoast. and I'm told it's very good. On their first day a woman came in and demanded, "just how sticky is your sticky-toffee pudding?"What possible answer could there be? I suppose you could try cod science, claiming "it has been rated at 8.9 on the Hohenburg-Lipfzer scale of stickiness". Or you could just hold up a twig and shout: "Look! this is a stick! Well, I'd have you know that our pudding is much stickier than this!""
Scooped from Simon Hoggart's column.
