LEGEND
WEST COUNTRY LEGENDS: KING ALFRED AND THE BURNT CAKES
Legend has it that during his desperate fight from Viking invaders, King Alfred sought refuge in the marshes of Sedgemoor in Somerset. There, he found shelter in the humble abode of a peasant woman. One day, tasked with keeping watch over cakes baking by the fire, the preoccupied king inadvertently let them burn, earning a sharp reprimand from his host.
Fear not, for the baking of these Smoked Cheddar Cheese Straws has been overseen by expert bakers… and their subtle smoky flavour is entirely intentional!
Smoking has been an artful method of preserving and flavouring food for millennia. Our forebears discovered that foods enveloped in smoke could endure longer before spoiling. Today, culinary enthusiasts use various wood types for smoking, each imparting its unique essence, to infuse food with a rich, aromatic character.
