Biscuits and me

I have forever been a huge biscuit fan. My Mom tells me I used to lap up Parle G squashed in milk when I was a baby. Parle G ofcourse still remains an all time favorite.

I remember as a kid I freaked on Delite, Ginger & Coconut Crunchees (all from the Britannia stable and how extinct) not to forget pink wafer biscuits too. I am not very experimental about biscuits and am more prone to pick up chocolate flavoured ones like Hide n Seek (pretty good eh?)

A few weeks back while I was shopping I spotted 2 biscuits from McVities, Fruit Shortcake & Ginger. I decided to pick up the former.

Now trust me when I say it that these biscuits are really quite good. They have this yumm feeling as soon as you pop them in your mouth. And while most biscuits go well with a cuppa chai, this one does a good job on its own too.

These guys have recently launched in India (they were imported earlier). At Dollar Store you can pick up 5 packs for 100 bucks. They are priced a bit steeply but I am sure you won’t regret biting into them.
