Coming home from Scotland we stopped to buy some gifts for friends. We bought some Scottish tablet. Now for those of you who do not know tablet is basically fudge. The Scottish tablet that I bought was by Gordon and Durwood . Gordon and Durwood from Crieff, Perthshire are makers of traditional Scottish sweets.

The Scottish tablet I bought and am describing to you today is the Vanilla Butter Table. I bought a few packs weighing 125g they cost £1.25p each This fudge Scottish tablet is a flat slab/tablet of fudge it has been scored into smaller square pieces I think there were about 16 pieces in the tablet I bought,

This golden brown Scottish tablet is wrapped in some see through cellophane with a paper label attached. .
Open the packet and break a piece of this tablet off, the scoring of the fudge makes it easy to break into small squares.

Pop a square of tablet into your mouth. The texture is granular I guess that's the sugar. The fudge is not hard fudge but soft fudge crisp yet moist that you can easily get your teeth into. When you bite the fudge crumbles into your mouth.

Taste
~~~~~
It taste sweet and buttery, a light vanilla flavour . It tastes good really fudge. I savor a mouthful and I can discern the sweet sugar, the buttery vanilla twang and there is this hint of a sweet milky flavour I masticate the fudge and the flavour is that of condensed milk sweet creamy milk.
I like this fudge fortunately I bought more than I needed so some left over for me to eat.

This vanilla fudge is quite sweet and 3 small pieces from my tablet is enough.


Oopps I have eaten it all. I am not going up to Scotland where this Scottish tablet can be bought in tourist shops, sweetshops , confectioners and supermarkets .I am not aware of anywhere down South selling Gordon and Durwoods Scottish tablet , so I shall have to make my own fudge (tablet) Fudge is basically sugar , condensed milk, butter , flavourings if required.

Calories
