Sainsbury's Lemon Thin Review |
Dear All,
I am probably looking for something that no longer exisits but whatever happened to the Butter Osborne and Royal Stewart Biscuits? Two of my ll time favourites, and life has not been the same since. Was it the fact that my Grandmother(God Bless Her Soul) were the only purchasers or were the manufacturers merely mean-natured and so withdrew them.
Pretty fond of Butter Crinkle, but I've not seen them for a while (black and gold packaging).
I have recently discovered a rather nice little delicacy (although hav'ent dunked as yet!) Sainsbury's Lemon Thins. Quite a nice treat following 3 hours of exams.
I have only just discovered this site but don't worry, I will return.
Thank you.

Nicey replies: Butter Osbornes haven't been made in ages and ages. However you might want to try a Foxs' Butter Tea, its not the same but its playing to the same audience.
As for Sainsbury's Lemon Thins we reviewed them a while back, they are full of commute you know. |

Sainsbury's Lemon Thin Review |
Nicey
I see that last week you had the lemon thin as your biscuit of the week. A word of warning to potential customers. Do not store these biscuits with any others as they will taint them with a lemon flavour. I ruined a perfectly good packet of malted milks by storing them in the same tin as the lemon thins. Even my grandma's rock cakes took on an artificial citrus tinge.
Safe eating. |
Nicey replies: We didn't run into this problem as our natural instinct to scoff the lot straight from the packet saved us from any misfortunate biscuit tainting. |
