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.

Lemon Crisp biscuits, V&A Museum

These biscuits come in a 200g tub from the V&A gift shop, priced at £3.50 and are lovely!  Not sure I like them better than the Fortnums lemon biscuits but they're certainly on a par with them!  Certainly have a very lemony flavour. They're also available online Here through the V&A website

Maille blue cheese mustard

This is my current favourite of the Maille mustards I've tried so far.  It's the small 108g jar with blue cheese and wine wine and goes well with everything!!!  (well not your cornflakes of course!)  Works well in salad vinaigrettes, meat dishes and is medium strength.  This size jar costs £5.80 at the Maille shop in Piccadilly London and can also be bought online here  I've also seen the larger size jar available elsewhere online (such as Ocado) for a slightly lesser price than Maille, so you can shop around for competitive prices.
Defo worth getting!
