Asda Fruit Shrewsbury with Lemon Drizzle Review |
Dear Nicey and Wifey,
I undertook some serious field research at the weekend, and sampled the Fruit Shrewsbury and Golden Crunch biscuits from Fortnum & Mason. I'm happy to report that both were delicious - crisp, buttery and really very lovely indeed. They are from the English Butter Biscuit range,in cute round tins, and there are quite a few other nice varieties I want to try. Also, Fortnums stocks one of my favourite biccies of all time - the Duchy Original Butterscotch biscuit, so all round it was a very successful mission.
Regards as always,

Nicey replies: Righty ho. |

Dear Nicey,
My colleague has just given me positive proof that fruit Shrewsbury biscuits are available on GWR. I have the crumpled packaging, containing a few crumbs, of his favourite dunking-in-coffee early morning biscuit left from his journey into London from Swindon. Does the daily biscuit make the journey worthwhile?
Best wishes,
Clare Hall |
Nicey replies: Right. It must be me mixing up GNR and GWR.

Dear Nicey and the Wife,
You may be interested to know that the Fruit Shrewsbury - indeed, the whole Bronte biscuits range - is the "biscuit of choice" in the Houses of Parliament. All the catering outlets in the Palace of Westminster and Portcullis House offer Bronte twin-packs of the Shrewsbury, Viennese Fingers, Golden Crunch, Shortcake and Chocolate Chip. Until fairly recently I believe they were the only brand of biscuit sold on the premises, although some interlopers have recently been noted.

Nicey replies: We are indeed interested to know that. Actually last time I came past Parliament on the tube, I had a large case of Anzac biscuits on my shoulder which confused the Labour member for Norwich North who was in the same carriage as me, not least because he vaguely remembered teaching me genetics at University. |

Dear Nicey,
To go back to an earlier topic of conversation, I too am a fan of the fruit Shrewsbury, which I enjoy in the Morley College refectory before my philosophy evening class. They are also available in Benjy's (the sandwich shop), although of course only in packets of two rather than in proper packets. Fortnum and Mason is a good place to try and I'm pretty sure they have them, though I haven't tried them. Can we instigate some sort of campaign?
With kind regards, and keep up the biscuit work

Nicey replies: Actually I saw some in a Farm shop at the weekend. Its a bit of a cottage industry biscuit for some reason.
