Sussex Thins Lemon Puddle biscuits

We found these biscuits at a grocers near us, and as I've tried other varieties I thought I'd give this one a go.  And I'm glad I did!!  They're lovely!!!  They come in a 175g box costing £2.95 and are made with the lemon rind as well the the juice.  They go very well with cheese but are equally as good on their own, too.

The full range of biscuits are listed HERE and a variety of the biscuits are available from the Horsham Gingerbread website HERE however they only currently do mail order within the UK
Stockists are also listed on the Horsham Gingerbread website.

Definitely worth trying!

Choc Chip & Cherry biscuits, V&A Museum

These biscuits come in a 200g tub priced at £3.50 and are absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!  They're my favourite of the V&A biscuits!  Very more-ish indeed and are best dunked in your hot chocolate (or tea/coffee!)  They're available at the V&A ground floor giftshop and also through their website HERE

The tub design is Leicester wallpaper designed by John Henry Dearle (1860 - 1932)

British Museum All Butter Caramel & Sea Salt Biscuits

This 200g tub of biscuits is available in the ground floor circular gift shop area in the Great Hall of the British Museum and costs £5.50 a tub.  These are GLORIOUS!!!  Very buttery and taste fabulous dunked in a hot chocolate - the sea salt/caramel comes through as a lovely aftertaste!  These do not seem to be available online anywhere but if you find yourself visiting the Museum at any point, I strongly recommend buying some of these, either for yourself or as a gift.

Sussex Thins "Sweet Sussex" biscuits

We bought a packet of these biscuits at a Christmas Market in Brighton - all the stall were selling locally made produce from Sussex, the county that we live in.  These biscuits are a dark brown colour and slightly sweet and made from a recipe found in a 200 year old recipe book in the Horsham Museum that belonged to the Shelley family!  These are seriously delicious on their own and go surprisingly well with camembert cheese too. 

Ingredient info on reverse of box

These biscuits cost £3.25 a box and are available through various stockists listed on their website HorshamGingerbread.co.uk  Unfortunately, they don't seem to do mail order!

Fortnum & Mason Stem Ginger Piccadilly Biscuits

This 200g tin of biscuits contains a dozen thin "Piccadilly" biscuits flavoured with stem ginger.  Given the "kick" to the taste, it's real ginger too, and these make a quality biscuit!  Priced at £7.25 a tin which seems expensive..... but they ARE a quality biscuit and you'll remember the taste in a positive way for a long time after you've finished them!!  
These can be ordered online HERE as can several other flavours in the same line.  (about eight, I think)
