Yes, you are correct. fair? misleading! As I observed the stall sign, Toffee Apples £1.50 I decided to purchase one, as I bit into it, there appeared to be a piece of fruit, that was an apple, to use fruit in its Non-Botanical term (as of course an apple contains the fruit, but the fleshy part is but a swollen recepticle) sheathed within the toffee. I concluded therefore that the notice has been couched using misleading elipsis. I was lead to believe that the word toffee was used in an adjectival sense, that is to say describing the constitution of the product. Ie an apple shaped toffee.
