Books and cakes - 43

    "I am a rather greedy man; I have a taste for good cookery and a watering tooth at the mere sound of the names of certain comestibles."

Pity, then, that John Dowell, narrator of The Good Soldier, doesn't give us any foodie details in his extensive ramblings; I was left to come at the book from a different angle in order to provide the requisite baked goods to go with it.

    As you'll see from my post on the novel (follow the link above) - and it's a view shared by some, though not all, who have commented so far - I found it to be a hopeless jumble of a thing, so to sweeten the experience a bit, I've made Chocolate Jumbles.

They are going down well here.

I recognize these as being a variation on a favourite Canadian cookie called Dad's Cookies. Apparently they've been on the go sine 1929.

1929: almost as old as the book, and dare I say more popular!
