Advantages: A superb balm for aches and pains Disadvantages: its a bit smelly!!
Tiger Balm was the brainchild of a Chinese Herbalist many years ago. The balm was originally formulated for the Chinese Emperors to use.
After the herbalists death one of his sons travelled the East accompanied by a tiger (A symbol of strength and vitality in the East) selling the balm wherever he could.
In the 1920`s his two sons established a company base in Singapore to manufacture the Tiger Balm and the product is widely used throughout the world nowadays.
Tiger Balm is used for the relief of muscular aches and pains, I find it especially useful after a hard days gardening.
The balm can be bought in two strengths, the Red Balm which is extra strong and the White Balm which is regular strength, you can also buy a Tiger Liniment oil to use for massage purposes.
The balm contains camphor which has a really pungent smell, many ...

Tiger isnt a real tiger he is just a tinylittle harmless kitten but he doesnt want to be a kitten, he dreams of being a great big ferocious tiger, with great big paws and great big claws, that roars very loudly.
Tiger wants to be a tiger that much he pretends he is when he is playing, he doesnt want to play with wool like other kittens do he wants to stalk prey silently and jump roaring like a real tiger.
Tiger spends all day pretending to be a real tiger with his huge paws and menacing roar which is realy quite funny as he only has a litle meow and by the end of the day little tiger is exhausted and wants nothing more than to curl up in his bed and go to sleep.
This book is fun, there are lots of funny noises in this book for you and your child to repeat, some rhyming pieces, the pictures are brilliant and the story is basic ...
Advantages: Tasty, lovely aroma, soft whit bread with a nutty crust, good value Disadvantages: Limited shelf life
I absolutely adore Tiger bread but reading other reviews I guess I may be in the minority. Most supermarkets do some sort of Tiger bread these days and for me it is a nice little twist on a white, bread loaf. We usually buy our Tiger Bread from Asda and I love it. I presume it is called tiger bread becuse the crust is patterened in such a way that it resembles tiger stripes, but I could be wrong. In fact I probably am. In light of this I have just had a look on Wikepedia and this is what it has to say about tiger bread:-
'Tiger bread is made with sesame oil and with a pattern baked into the top made by painting rice paste onto the surface prior to baking. The paste dries and cracks during the baking process, creating a two-colour effect similar to a tiger; hence the name. The rice paste crust also gives the bread a distinctive flavour ...

Album Notes
In the strange world of psychobilly, existing somewhere between punk and rockabilly, Tiger Army led the charge in the early years of the 21st century. GHOST TIGERS RISE finds the trio delivering more melodic and sophisticated fare than the boilerplate punk aggression of many of their contemporaries. Song imagery tends towards the dark side, but given that drummer Fred Hell survived getting shot multiple times in 2003 (and had his seat filled by Mike Fasano on this outing), it's no wonder. Guitar-playing frontman/producer Nick 13 guides Tiger Army through an array of intriguing songs, ranging from the twang-fest "The Long Road," featuring guest pedal steel guitarist Greg Leisz, to the foreboding rockabilly of "Santa Clara Twilight" with its mentions of pirate bones and eternity. Nick 13's warm croon also makes his crew stand out from their So-Cal peers, particularly on the reverb-soaked thump of "Ghostfire" and the surprisingly swinging 1980s pop sound of "Rose of the Devil's Garden."
