Entenmanns Chocolate Fudge Cake

Sleepy

Anyone know if this is still available anywhere in Ireland?

That thing weighed a tonne. If you ate one slab of it, your body-mass doubled

That said, i haven't seen them around for years. I have just found this article, however, and it appears that the company which previously sold them went bust back in 2003:

Hibernia (the company mentioned) apparently bought the Entenmann's franchise (see 7th last paragraph).

It doesn't feel like 5 years.. I used to admire those cakes in Tesco's, down by the entrance of the Baggot Street branch, big chocolate slabs..

Can't even find them on ebay

Fond memories indeed... ...I remember seeing at a guy dip into one with a small spoon once, on one late Friday evening in DIT Kevin Street's canteen. that must have been way back in 2001, and he finished the entire thing.

You could see little moons orbiting them!

Savage stuff with ice cold milk. The only thing close you get now is those chocolate fudge type cakes, the ones done in those long loaf tins that come in clear containers and are in the fridges in supermarkets.

Tesco and M&S have stepped up to the plate though, when it comes to piggish gluttony, their own brand range have a lot of gooey cakes.

(might accidentally pop into M&S on the way home..)

Holy crap - yeh - I used to always enjoy a nice pint of chilled milk whenever i was gorging on sweets and chocolate. That was when I was a young lad though (*sniff* *sniff* ... ...:(). If I ate that stuff now it'd probably stay lodged in my gut for the rest of eternity.

I loved their carrot cake. Was in the U.S. a while ago, but saw no sign of Entemans anywhere. Used to be a huge selection there.
