Fifteens
Fifteens appear to be a Northern Ireland thing, the rest of the world should be educated. To wit:
15 McVities Digestive Bisuits
15 Marshmallows
15 Red Glaze Cherries
1 small tin of sweetened condensed milk
1 good handful of desiccated coconut
- Crush the biscuits into a large bowl, add mallow and cherries, mix.
- Now pour the condensed milk into the mix, stir it up until it gets into a sticky lump.
- Tip it all out onto a sheet of greaseproof paper and mould it into a log shape, roll the whole log thing in the coconut.
- Wrap the beast up and refridgerate for a day, when it’s set you slice it up as you see fit (monster slices for the men, teeny-weeny arty slices for the women).
- Eat.

Does exactly what it says on the (comic book) tin. Loved it. - Little Miss Sunshine

Very funny, disturbing (the beauty pageant) and completely messed up -- but in a good way. - Laputa: Castle in the Sky†
Story great, characterization a little on the weak side -- though the big robots are cool. - Porco Rosso

Stylish, funny, exciting. - Grave of the Fireflies†
Very sad, which was a little unexpected since I didn't know much about it before watching it. Can be a little too slow in places though, otherwise it's very good. - Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind†
The story can get a little dense at times what with the various factions, but still really enjoyable, inventive and engaging. - X-Men: The Last Stand

Opportunity, talent, money - all blown. Over 3 films X-Men has hinted of something great that could have been, this last one says "No, sorry - not going to happen". Bah.
And people say our cuisine sucks. What do they know?
15s, and a fry from the Titanic.
Our legacy to the world. And a fine one to leave, too.
Valerie informs me only Nestle make condensed milk these days. I think that is the reason for the dearth of 15s in our house.
The original draft of this made mention of that fact, rubbing it in your face, but I decided not to bother what with you being the only weblogger in the slugger village.
My uncle is a distributor (I don’t know if he only works for Nestle) for confectionery stuff and sent me a whole bunch of lovely Nestle sweets and chocolate yesterday. Yummy. I heart Nestle. I haven’t had 15s since my P6 “cookery” class, but I might make some now.
I get oppressed everywhere. EVERYWHERE. sniff
P6? Year before last then?
Jeffers in Dunmurry do chocolate covered fifteens, but in an oblong shape, with the choc on the top. It rocks. However they only do it on a Thursday and Friday. So now I associate fifteens with the start of the weekend. I heart fifteens. Mmm fifteens, soda bread, potato bread - sweet potato bread… I would continue, but I am having a heart attack!
This is just a traybake by another name but not as good as my recipe.
Share!
Hi there
I’m Northern Irish and live in Japan. Only yesterday I made traybakes using Japanese condensed milk so Nestle are not the only people to make it. I am rather partial to a 15 but peppermint slices are good too!
