Title: Dundee Biscuits

Does anyone remember these?

 

Despite the name, I think they were only really available in the North West.

 

They were sold in packs of five or six.  Each one was about the size of a Wagon Wheel.  It was a really thick biscuit, made from Shortcake, with sugar sprinkled on, and a thick layer of chocolate on one side.

 

They were discontinued in the early nineties.

Yes, I remember them.  I thought they had bits of currant in but no chocolate?

I must be thinking of something else.

Do you like Grantham biscuits?  They sell them at the Goose fair, otherwise never see em.

Sort of light, honeycombed and gingery and very crunchy.  Lovely dunked in tea if you get a mug big enough!  They're about half an inch thick.
