Whatever Happened To

[TheOtherHalf]

Pineapple cream tarts. My OH keeps on about them but Im afraid I only vaguely remember them. A small tart case with similar to a bakers cream and topped with pineapple. Every bakers shop we pass now, he goes and ask if they have them. Its so annoying !!

[follyfancier]

they are still made by Gadsby's bakery in Nottinghamshire

Perhaps you could travel back to the Sixties....sound rather "retro" to me!

TheOtherHalf, perhaps you could surprise your OH and make them some.

[TheOtherHalf]

I might try making some but if in the meantime I come across one of the shops mentioned by follyfanciers link, I will certainly get some and surprise him. Thanks all x

I think you can get them in M&S.

[anneasquith]

ive seen them in aldi, and my corner shop.

[murraymints]

Greggs do them

I've seen/bought them in our local Tesco, Sainsburys and Asda.

I think they are still quite common in Scotland. We're not known for our healthy lifestyles...

[anneasquith]

excuse me 2sp, ill have you know I don't take sugar in my tea, ( healthy lifestyle indeed '

Sorry, annesquith! I suppose we count pineapple tarts as one of our 5 a day?

Randomly, our fishmonger sells them from his wee van.

Hi TheOtherHalf I used to work in a baker's shop to earn pocket money on Saturday's when I was in school many years ago and they simply used pineapple jam in the tarts along with the cream,Hartley's make it so OH might enjoy that!
