Goody or goodie is an
St. John's Eve where it would be prepared near the bonfires lit to celebrate.[3] A variation was prepared using milky tea to soak the bread.[4] This dish is also prepared by parents to give to children when they have an upset stomach.[5]
Many children were given this during the 20th century as a treat in neighbours' houses or after school as a snack before dinner. It has nowadays been modified to suit the modern taste, by using cocoa powder and chocolate drops to sweeten.
