    I know someone whose name starts with an N and ends with a Z. I have nothing relevant though.

    You got row N, so you're two seats back from me in row L.

    My typing butler doesn't like the sound of that. He says you aren't very artful for a badger btw.......I don't know how he knows that though!

    Cheap as chips as it happens. Tesco always have them on special offer. All that Diplomat spoilage shyte went out the window a fair few years ago. Now they are as exclusive as Butlins.

    It's called a nut coated treat!

    You'd have to be a bit of a nut to not cop that it contains nuts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,887 ✭✭✭Mariasofia


    It's called a nut coated treat!

    And the fact that theres nuts sticking out all over may also give it away.....

    Googled it. Google says its an E and also did you hear about the giant FR deep fried.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    just a heads up, Lidl do a version of Ferrero Rocher called amondelli or something like that, 20 for 3.49, they might even be nicer. I scoffed half a box last night.

    ok I'm going to go look in the bin.

    no, there was no N. I mostly know this because they didn't have the little brown wrapper around the foil so there would be no place to put an N if there was one. I found the carcass of todays roast chicken though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 683 ✭✭✭gumbo1


    I've just checked the bottom, no sniggering, of 4 an they all had E on them.
    I had to hold it so that the E was on the left hand side. OP what part of the circular wrapper was your N? I'm thinkin compass of some sort!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,440 ✭✭✭Stavros Murphy


    So, do they contain Nuts? I thought they made them out of a sweet blend of ferreros and a dash of rocher. Always loved the taste of rocher, it's like honey, only chocolatier.

    The letter could be a batch number. Or the 'E' could be French for 'nut', écrou. (Okay, it should be 'noix'.)
