  • Fudging a Solution

    Always interesting to see what raises debate on a blog (apart from my inability to type proper English or accurately to proof read that which I have typed).  Is 'tablet,' or is it not, 'approximately the same as fudge'?  I think the answer lies in your the definition of approximately.  A whole five minutes of online research of recipes reveals the following...

    Ingredients for Tablet:

    Milk

    Condensed milk

    Sugar

    Butter

    Ingredients for Fudge:

    Milk

    Condensed milk (usually)

    Sugar (may be demerara)

    Butter

    In most recipes the quantities are identical, though for some forms of fudge the sugar content is half that of tablet (which is why the latter is that obviously preferred by dentists).  The only substantive difference seems to be that whilst fudge is cooked for 20 minutes, tablet is cooked for 45; clearly Scots are more patient.

    Anyway, it's time this debate was laid to rest.  We don't want to have a further split in the church over confectionery heresies!
