Biscuits

Oooooo my mum baked everything and 1 of her homemade biscuits was called melting moments.

Mmmmmmm they were absolutely 😋. They were very similar to shortbread biscuits. She placed a ¼ of a cherry on top. 😋 😋 😋

I still bake melting moments, sometimes replacing the cherry with raspberry jam.

In my Grandad’s grocery shop (late 50s/early 60s) I remember the glass lidded boxes of loose biscuits all along the front of the counter. The end box always had a mixture of broken ones! The only biscuits I remember at home were Royal Scott, my favourites, Nice, which I hated and those thin shortbready ones with a hole in the middle, I don’t knew what they were called and I’ve never found them since!

I loved Mint Bandit and Carrs Sports.

A vote for Gypsy Creams from me, what happened to them?

McVities don't make them anymore.

What about these as an alternative?

Lincoln,fruit shortcake,fig roll,t.cake(marshmallow)chocolate fingers,jammy dodgers,home made ones called melting moments my Nan used to make,marie,rich tea fingers,my memory is saying all the mini chocolate chip ones I ate while breast feeding in the middle of the night!, and a horrid memory of when I worked in a supermarket,I was filling the biscuit isle and on going upstairs to the warehouse found many corners of biscuit multi packs nibbled by mice.The mice were climbing quite high shelves and definetley choosing specific types.

Rondello circa 1970, huge round melt in the mouth biscuits.

I rarely had bought biscuits growing up as mum baked for the week. Once it was gone, it was gone. She made lovely gypsy creams, oaty biscuits, coffee kisses from the Bero book and shortbread but never chocolate biscuits. My favourite biscuit now is probably a KitKat

Lemon puffs.
And fly biscuits, 🪰 (I think they were garibaldis).

DGS1 adores party rings now. I get him the little individual packets. It’s a Tunnocks Caramel Wafer for me - I think I’d tackle someone in the shop for the last pack!

my grandparents only ever had rich tea in!

I tell you what biscuits are nice and cheap, LU biscuits

Wagon Wheels were huge weren't they? They are very disappointing now. I really miss Spangles.
