Flapjacks – a guilty pleasure

Guilty pleasures: Flapjacks

Our favourite meals needn’t be the gut-busters we think they are.  Nutritionist FIONA HUNTER wrote in the Daily mail about Flapjacks earlier this year.

“Undeniably delicious, like all foods that combine fat and sugar, there’s no way the flapjack could ever be described as healthy.

It’s true that oats, the main ingredient, are an excellent source of fibre and provide useful amounts of vitamins B1, B2 and B6.

Also, the fibre in oats is the soluble, cholesterol-busting variety and the carbohydrate is the low GI, wholegrain variety”

Flapjacks & Muffins – our very own poem

Flapjacks and muffins are not normally the stuff of inspiration for poets .  They normally prefer roses, love or er, war.  But Mr Derek Robinson has been moved by the taste of Blackfriars flapjacks and muffins to send us this ditty.  Thank you Mr Robinson.  Hope you enjoy the box of goodies that is heading your way.

Blackfriars Bakery

I really had to write to say
I’m just so glad you came  my way
Your products are the best by far
In fact I rate them all five star
If you host a party or a do
It must be” Blackfriars Products” for you
Blackfriars Products are really great
So tell your family and your mate
In summer winter autumn and spring
Blackfriars Products are just the thing
Blackfriars give you so much more
Quality value and that’s for sure
You will pay your bill and still be jolly
With Blackfriars bargains you will all save Lolly
Blackfriars Products make your life complete
The opposition just can’t compete
I send my best to management and staff
And hope this rhyme gives them a laugh
These words are true I do not jest
Blackfriars Products are just the best
