Sainsbury's and Waitrose do not have any ginger nut biscuits for me to have with my morning coffee hmm. I have instead bought Nairn Oat Ginger biscuits, nice but pricey. Can you get them in your area ?

Do you have difficulty getting your favourite foods ?

M&S had ginger snaps in stock today. People had obviously been buying them up as there were plentiful stocks of every other biscuit except those. I confess to hoarding - I bought two packets, just in case! blush

Can't get ginger nuts at Tesco or Lidl at the moment but managed to get some from Aldi at the weekend. Unfortunately they are ginger nuts in name only, they are not a patch on the ones I normally buy from Lidl.

Borders Chocolate Ginger biscuits are available and are wonderfully ginger. Not much use for dunking though as the chocolate melts into your tea.

I would make my own, very easy and very more-ish!

Aldi used to sell gorgeous stem ginger biscuits at a very good price but they seem to have stopped that now.

All this chat about ginger biscuits, made me want to cook, but not biscuits, so have just made an eggless ginger cake with lemon water icing.

Alea I want one just like yours. My husband's hair was that colour when we got married - it's white now. Our son has married a girl who has a ginger brother so I'm hoping they might produce a little ginger nut - especially as two of my brothers were also ginger nuts so it runs in both sides of the family. smile

Good news to you all. The biscuit factory in Carlisle is now back in full production. Ginger nuts will be back pronto! I used to work in Carlisle, and sometimes, depending on wind direction, we caught the smell of the biscuits baking. Yummy.

I think (although at 7 days it is hard to be sure, but this time his daddy has red hair too) we've got another one!! smile smile
