Heather my dear, there’s a new flapjack in town

Isn’t the word ‘flapjack’ a bizarre thing? Where on Earth does it come from? I would love to know the etymology of the word flapjack. Answers on the back of a Morrissey postcard, please.

While I sit back and wait for the mountains of mail adorned with pictures of the Mancunian poet, I might as well inform you of a delicious vegan flapjack I discovered on a recent food expedition.

Hale & Hearty are a food company that are starting to capture more of my attention as time progresses. I adore their scrumptious BBQ cassava crisps and I always stop to investigate whenever I spy their logo on a packet.

Vegan & gluten-free by Hale & Hearty

I am delighted the aforementioned logo caught my eye while shopping in my local Tesco, as I walked away with a box of chocolate-topped vegan flapjacks.

My eating history isn’t particularly littered with flapjack wrappers, but I think this could all change with the discovery of the Hale & Hearty variety. The bars are perfectly moist and offer up a full syrup flavour that is irresistible. Of course the chocolate topping didn’t go astray!
