[QUOTE="Kapnismologist, post: 116147, member: 487"] A very good question. Sometimes you get a sizable group of very nice, perfectly cut flakes in the McCelland-made tins (e.g., in Epitome, Blakeney's Best Tawny Flake, Butera Royal Vintage Golden Cake), but more often than not they are either partially pre-broken (intentional) or at least half or more broken-up by jostling around in the round, loosely-packed tin. Perhaps the issue here is that of the (perceived?) benefits of loose packing (the idea being that flakes need air / room to age well in the tin)? Or, just McClelland brand identification (like the whale - you see it on the shelf, and know what it is)? Or something else entirely? Whatever the case, I too would sure not mind having some of their flake preparations available sardine-style as in the Euro tins. That would be great. [/QUOTE]
