As a Scot and therefore long-time sugar addict, I feel qualified to comment on this - for a change! My dad makes awesome 'tablet' and it is a similar mixture to fudge but it has a more crystalline structure so yes, it is breakable similar to chocolate and not squidgy, like fudge, but the /best/ tablet has a melt in the mouth butteriness that is rarely found in commercially produced stuff. The closest you'll get are the little 'heart-attacks in a packet' called "Orkney Fudge" http://www.realfooddirect.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=1013 "Irn Bru" is a soda/fizzy soft drink that is orange in colour and of indeterminate flavour. The advert used to say "Made in Scotland, from girders" i.e. iron bars, so I'd say it's sort of metallic... but nice! You can now get Irn Bru chews which are bliss and make my teeth ache. http://www.sweetsncandy.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=IRNBRU060&cat=15 Diabetes? Me??? :-) Sorry for digression but I've a childhood affection for both.
