Coals From Newcastle – A fantastic EDIBLE COAL
What are Coals from Newcastle? We have created this scrumptious honeycomb to resemble actual COAL! As always the product is hand crafted and coloured with natural colours. Once set the coal is weighed by hand and packed into fantastic branded boxes.
Our hometown on the Durham heritage coast line played a huge part in the history of coal mining. With a family of coal mining ancestry, it seems very fitting to have created this fabulous edible COAL for the world to experience.
The phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is an idiom that means to do something pointless or redundant. It is often used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is already being done or that is not needed. The phrase comes from the fact that Newcastle upon Tyne, England, was a major coal-producing city in the 18th and 19th centuries. Coal was so abundant in Newcastle that it was often used as a form of currency. As a result, there was no need to bring coal to Newcastle, as it was already readily available.
Did you know , the phrase "carrying coals to Newcastle" is still used today, often in a humorous or sarcastic way. It can be used to describe a situation in which someone is trying to do something that is obviously unnecessary or to express frustration with a situation that is already hopeless.

I love cinder toffee, so when I saw this on a day out to Low Force, I just had to try some, as it appealed to my sense of humour. It’s delicious. Not cheap – but I’d certainly buy it again, if I ever see it on sale anywhere.

I was bought a packet as a gift of Newcastle Coals. The look reminds me of the cinders my dad used to take out of our coke boiler! But it tastes like great honeycomb and is black all the way through. I’ll be shopping here for Christmas gifts as its such a fun and tasty gift!
