Can't think of a Y but there's Zoobs for Z - but they may have been cough sweets so may not count!

Why does it have to be alphabetical?

NanKate Sat 29-Mar-14 19:35:49

I only suggested alphabetical to make it a bit more mind stretching.

Floral gums. I can taste the now.

NanKate Sun 30-Mar-14 20:59:58

Sorry I should have been thinking of an H sweet. So what about Harrogate toffee.

Ana Sun 30-Mar-14 21:03:39

(Ooh, floral gums - I'd forgotten all about them, but as soon as I read your post I could taste them too, NanKate!)

NanKate Sun 30-Mar-14 22:40:52

The Harroate toffee would dislodge my fillings now sadly.

Yes Ana the floral gums did have a distinctive taste.

NanKate Sun 30-Mar-14 22:41:19

Harrogate !
