Portion control.

Swmbo brought home two small ones from a friend last week.
Each was about the size of a test strip bottle - a cylinder
5cm (2") long and about 2cm (3/4") diameter.

I cut them into four portions each, as a tiny after-dinner
treat with coffee. I went mad one night and had two
quarters:-)

There is no confection I know that has quite the same taste.

Cheers Alan, T2 d&e, Australia.
