You've got to love it.
They make jaffa cakes - really very nice jaffa cakes - they come in their plain packaging, white box blue stripes - you've all seen it before. But the thing I love most about Tesco Value Jaffa Cakes is they don't contain milk which means my delightful but lactose intolerant little girl can munch on them too - till her hearts content, till she has orange splatty bits coming out of her ears in fact!
I always want to do a little leap when I find something ordinary that she can eat too. She has her dairy free chocolate buttons, and her soya spread, her lacto-free milk and even special cheese, but when she can just sit with us and have ordinary food that we can all eat it makes me feel so happy.
She will ask if she can have something, and sometimes if someone offers her something she asks first if it has milk in it, because she knows it makes her have a sore tummy.
It breaks my heart and also makes me beam with pride because I feel so sad that she has to check before she eats things, but I am so proud that she understands at a three year olds level that she can't have some things, and she is clever enough to ask before she ploughs into something she may not be able to have.
Tesco value rich tea biscuits don't have milk in either - but rich tea biscuits are pretty pants anyway!
