1) Honey nut bran flakes. These were great - sugary for sure, but with that healthy bran.
2) Cheesy loaf of bread. This was really nice - from Sainsbury's back in the day, I recall. Must have been about 20 years ago, I recall, since I had ham sandwiches with this bread, so was before I went veggie.
3) A kind of Cadbury's variety of chocolate biscuit which was more stiff than your usual biscuit - and tastier, for that matter. Very tasty indeed, wish I could remember what it was called, exactly. Last remember having these 10 years' ago.
One of my favourites, and definitely still available"I do not approve of anything that tampers with natural ignorance. Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone. The whole theory of modern education is radically unsound. Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square."

I looked for them the other day, but without luck.

Originally posted by Pulcinella View PostI remember some one-sided chocolate biscuits with the chocolate being in ripples, rather like corduroy; I wonder if they are what you are thinking of.

Somewhat off topic, I understand that the PM is looking forward to the prospective trade deal with Australia increasing the availability in the UK of Tim Tams.
I have to admit to preferring them to Penguins when I first came across them while visiting Melbourne last Christmas/New Year.Last edited by Pulcinella; 06-07-20, 13:37.

Originally posted by LHC View PostI think they might have been discontinued. Cadbury’s used to make chocolate digestives, and chocolate rich tea biscuits (the latter were great), but both are no more. I believe there is a petition calling for the return of the rich tea biscuits!

The 'ripples' were more like ridges (furrows).
My partner thinks they might have been chocolate malted milk biscuits, and rectangular not round, so maybe my memory is at fault.
Whatever they were, I used to like them.
