Stem Ginger biscuits, V&A Museum

These are lovely biscuits - very gingery! - and best dunked in your tea/coffee/hot chocolate!  They come in a 200g tub from the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and very reasonably priced at £3.50.  They are available in the main ground floor gift shop in the Museum and also online Here

The tub cover is the design for the decoration of the South Kensington Museum (now the V&A) by Godfrey Sykes (1824 - 66) and Francis Fowke (1823 - 65)  in pencil, pen, ink and watercolour.

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)
