Why it's worth it

The foil-wrapped teacake from the family firm Tunnock's in Uddingston is a Scottish icon that every UK supermarket sells. It is the closest thing to a Czech indiánek, but the biscuit base and the thin chocolate shell make it its own thing.

Taste

Fluffy, sweet marshmallow dome on a small soft biscuit base, in a thin crisp shell of milk chocolate; very sweet, light
