Great Biscuits of Great Britain
Below are scans of the front and back of a set of twelve cards. They were produced to celebrate the 350th anniversary of the Rich Tea – hence the Rich Tea occupying the first card. It is thought they date from the mid-eighties, although the exact date is a mystery, as is the exact date of the Rich Tea’s invention.
Card number one - The Rich Tea
Card number two - The Tunnocks Teacake
Card number three - The Malted Milk
Card number four - The Lincoln
Card number five - The Nice biscuit
Card number six - The Morning Coffee
Card number seven - The Custard Cream
Card number eight - The Bourbon
Card number nine - The Fruit Shortcake
Card number ten - The Garibaldi
Card number eleven - The Pink Wafer
Card number twelve - The Fig Roll
What the hell happened to the humble Digestive?!? Great British society would fall apart if we were to ever lose that giant of the biscuit world…
Lack of Hob Nobs = disappointing.
Im with StevieR. the digestive is a cornerstone of tea dunking protocols. but that leads into Timtams, and tim tam slammers.
Rhys, I think for the benefit of all of us not living in God’s Country (® Rhys Blackburn) you may have to explain what a Tim Tam slammer is.
Me gustan estas galletas.
No fucking gingernuts? Just bloody wrong…
