NOUVELLE it isnae. A top hotel is using Scotland's reputation as a nutritional no-go area to offer artery-busting, tooth-dissolving "Glasgow afternoon teas".
The 1,600-calorie feast includes 'jeely pieces', Irn-Bru trifle, Tunnock's Teacakes, Caramel Wafers, scones and pancakes, all washed down with strong tea and Scotland's bright orange national drink.

The £8.95 treat is the brainchild of staff at the four-star, £174-a-night Hilton Grosvenor Hotel who wanted to bring together some of the city's most-loved delicacies.

The idea has proved a big hit with customers, and around 40 Glasgow afternoon teas are being served up every weekend.

But the move has proved controversial and was last night branded "appalling" by Alex Salmond's personal nutritionist, Wendy Barrie, after it was revealed that a single sitting contained more than double the daily recommended levels of sugar and saturated fat.

What nonsense. Its not much different from a traditional cream tea I guess. Just a bit of fun, I would have thought not a lifestyle suggestion. No?

He never said I could have it with cheese on. I think I'll stick with the crisps, though.
