Etiquette guides and Malted milk ball Swiss roll

I know the development of etiquette is a scheme to control the social class, but this code does more good than harm. In school, teachers should not teach you how to calculus or learn the names of dead pharaohs of Ancient Egypt, but they should be dishing out advice on how to behave in awkward situations.



I know the school system is not going to change (yet...) but their needs to be a some sort of free fryers or pamphlets that tell you exactly what to do. Like the ones you find at the doctors organised on the wall according to type of illness, only in this case it would be according to the social situation This would save a lot of awkwardness, hassle and silent cursing when someone commits a faux pas. Not just ones on Email and work place too, but shopping centre/supermarket etiquette, parent teacher interview etiquette, car park etiquette; the list is endless.



I am in a huff about manners because I have recently experience something very unpleasant in the car park. Some crashed into the front of my car. Yes, I left my car in perfect condition and I came back to a car with a big fat dent in hood. In the middle of a stare down between the dent, and me of course I was peeved off but I was more annoyed someone did not even leave a note. Even if you are not going to pay for it a sorry would be the least you could do.



This cake is need no introduction, Malted milk chocolate has put its party clothes on and allows even for the most mature of adults to eat the childish candy. The swiss roll may be intimating but it is well worth it. Any way if it cracks, it really does not matter because you always have a second cake!
A malted-based sponge is rolled in malted milk powder and filled with textured butter cream. The finishing touch adds a glossy shine and makes it oh so sophisticated.

I do know about you but candy in cake is enough for me to forget any type of eating manners
