I believe "Packer" likes his fudge
So why do you haggis-munchers call fudge,tablet ?
Great stuff though.
We used to stay up at the Golf View hotel in Nairn when flying into Inverness and they used to have tablet on the bar.
Made a nice change from peanuts but didn't really go with the beer !

Fudge is soft
Tablet is brittle
What is it about you English? Your national dish is the Faggot
(see how I cleverly linked that to the "Fudge" thread..........

Ta.
So what makes the difference between the two ?
Tablet and fudge are different
Tablet shares some of the same ingredients but is allowed to crystallize part way though the process which gives it a hard brittle texture.
You really wouldnt want to be a Tablet Packer

I didn't know, so googled it..................
Tablet (or taiblet in Scots) is a medium-hard, sugary confection from Scotland. It is made from sugar, condensed milk, and butter, boiled to a soft-ball stage and allowed to crystallize. It is often flavoured with vanilla, and sometimes has nut pieces in it.
Tablet has a long history. According to The Scots Kitchen by F. Marian McNeill, tablet is first noted in The Household Book of Lady Grisell Baillie in the early 18th century. The traditional recipe uses just sugar and cream. More modern recipes substitute condensed milk and butter for the cream, as it has a tendency to burn when boiled.
Commercially available tablet often uses fondant instead of the milk products. This produces a slightly less granular texture to the traditional home-made tablet, and is supposedly much easier to prepare on a commercial scale.
Tablet differs from fudge in that it has a brittle, grainy texture, where fudge is much softer. Tablet is almost identical to Québécois sucre à la crème, except the latter is often made with maple syrup. It's also reportedly similar to South American tableta de leche. Another close relative can be found in the Netherlands that goes by the name of borstplaat and is eaten during the time that Sinterklaas is celebrated.
Tablet is occasionally referred to as Scots tablet or as Swiss Milk tablet, since some people call condensed milk "Swiss Milk".
