What about at the expat shop? Would you like me to send you some? And not all the rusks in the Ouma’s box are huge, but point taken! I remember giving my son Boudoir biscuits too… yummy “fingers”!!

Nonsensical > Indeed. But one step at a time.

Po > Rusks are wholly over-rated – unless you’re a small child. And bloody expensive, too – whoever you are.

HH > Not seen Farley’s over here. Ouma’s rusks are too big for her hands though. It would be like you or I trying to eat a bit of Stonehenge.

OL > Owch! Spitting image of yours truly, though, I’m afraid!

Goblin > As are 4 of the other 5 pics. The only one that isn’t, is her looking a bit worried when her brother threatened rusk-stealage.

As it happens, we had our first rusk in years too, today. My favourite SAfrican shop was opening another branch, and we paid a visit. We happened to spot various flavours of "Ouma's Rusks", and we decided to try the "Condensed Milk" variety - I'm pretty sure that wasn't around when I was last living in South Africa!! Not sure how many E numbers Ouma's has - whatever happened to Farleys - isn't that the choice of rusk for young gums?
