And was then given another slice for free as I left.
Today was a good day. |  |

They were probably amazed that someone actually paid for a slice!  |  |

Did it have the density of a lead slab? That's the best thing about home-made battenberg, it has real gravitas..... |  |

The sponge was light and the jam moist but the marzipan certainly had a substantial heft that you do not find in the commercial product. It was immensely satisfying, although perhaps it was not suitable for lightweight participants in other confections, this was a serious cake. My compliments to the baker were copious and that may have won me the extra slice. | |

Top work Zombers, quality home-made battenberg should always be appropriately commended!
I hope a cup of English breakfast tea was consumed alongside the marzipan marvel? | |

Hmmm, your partner changes you £2 for a slice of Battenberg.
Might start charging my wife for slices of Banana Bread, when I make it. [Post edited 8 Sep 2021 19:48]

The first was poisoned.
Then you gushed so much and they felt sorry for you so offered you a second slice with the antidote.
Frankly, they should have been more ruthless. |  |

Not my partner, someone else's wife...
But I do have an ex-lover who still, occasionally, makes me banana bread. | |

I did indeed have tea at the same time but didn't enquire about the provenance of the tea bag, I thought that I had been forward enough in requesting a pot with a single teabag so that the first cup is a touch on the weak side thereby cultivating an appreciation of the second fuller strength cup half an hour later, although I left it longer than that and the second cup was strong but heading towards lukewarm. | |
