Barry Neild Bahlsen Hit Review	On the subject of Hit biscuits or their Prince Lu equivalent, I was working as a journalist in Afghanistan in 2003 and was forced to make the rather unpleasant road journey between the former Taliban stronghold of Kandahar in the south and the capital Kabul. The road then was about 250 miles of dusty track through bandit country, taking 19 hours to negotiate. Luckily, at a roadside stall my translator and I were able to stock up on a few provisions, including a very welcome packet of Prince biscuits, which go down a treat when sampled in Afghan tea. I'm not saying they saved our lives, but when we were pulled over by two mean-looking men with AK-47 rifles who climbed in the back of our car demanding a lift, we offered them Princes and they tucked in gladly, and we lived to dunk another day. Incidentally, tea and biscuits are very popular in Afghanistan. The biscuits are mostly home-made by little in-shop bakeries. A particular favourite was a kind of minature cream horn filled with icing sugar. from Barry
	Nicey replies: Barry, Thanks, lots of valuable information in that email for anybody planning a holiday or short break in Afghanistan.
Eddie Brennan Bahlsen Hit Review	Hi A colleague of mine, Linda (Swedish), and myself (Irish) were talking about favourite biscuits as, with another colleague (Hi Tricia!), we've started to buy packets to share at work (team building...). For many years now the memory of an addictive, cheap, absolutely fake, chocolate biscuit sandwich, smuggled in from some archetypical European country, has haunted me over the years. While wistfully describing this biscuit, Linda lit up: she too knew this biscuit! Moreover she felt sure the name was HIT: so named because of the buzz you get on first eating. But we wanted more: some confirmation that we weren't suffering false memory syndrome & feeding each other delusions dipped in tea; a picture would be proof, our own shroud of Turin. We then trawled the web, thinking our task would be futile but, against all our worse fears, we found your site. HIT was biscuit of the week! Amazing. Linda's task for the weekend is now to locate a pack for ritual sacrifice. Eddie
	Nicey replies: An extra big Hoorah!! for all of us. Almost as rousing as that time somebody thinking about tea randomly choose to type nicecupofteaandasitdown into their browser and up we came, they were possibly even more impressed.
Daniel Norris Bahlsen Hit Review	I read your review on Bahlsen Hit biscuits with interest. Before starting university I spent two years working part-time at Iceland, that well-known high street freezer chain and every so often we would receive a lorry-load of Hit biscuits to sell off cheap. This would invariably cause quite a stir as it seems that in the same way one either loves or hates Marmite, Hit biscuits also appear to divide the populace in a similar way. Some customers and staff could not seem to get enough while the rest appeared to find them intolerable - on more than one occasion I have heard an 's' placed before the name of the biscuit to indicate this! I fell into the former group and used to look forward to the day we got our Hit shipment as they were rather an exotic change from my usual milk (not plain) chocolate digestives.   Dan.
	Nicey replies: Yay, for buying biscuits in Iceland. The keen biscuit buyer should add this to their repertoire, as they usually have some splendid deals. Mind you Hit are on offer 2 packs for 99p at Morrisons.
Dan Noble Bahlsen Hit Review	Interesting! HIT biscuits are both popular and rather easily obtainable in Tidewater Virginia  - probably due to the international tastes of the many military families which populate this area.  Both the vanilla and chocolate biscuit varieties are excellent with a nice cuppa, but  are stellar with a nice mug of hot cocoa. Wretched excess, to be sure, but quite lovely!
Peter Hill Bahlsen Hit Review	Hello Nicey,         Great work on the site, I've been following it for about 8 months now. It was great to see you on Richard and Judy, and I've been quoting you regarding Jaffa Cakes.. "The clue's in the name".. I got a biscuit barrell for my birthday (with a proper knobbly handle on the lid and all..), with lots of fantastic biscuits, including Golden Syrup, Golden Crunch and Caramel Crunch as well as Jaffa cakes and Maryland Cookies.     Anyway, recently people have been asking where they can get Prince biscuits in the UK, and you've suggested "Hit" as an alternative, but I have found these elusive biscuits here! These rare specimins come from that most strange place known as Lidl. That's right, that odd, cheap, forgien supermarket sells Prince biscuits, as well as some other French biscuits. I bought a pack, as when we go to France, I make sure we get some as they are brilliant. By the time we had driven the 5 miles or so home, I had eaten half the pack.     Well, so long, and thanks for all the biscuits, Fido Dido [Peter] (biscuit fanatic and your humble fan)
	Nicey replies: Yay Peter, Thanks for the Lidl tip off, we have one about 20 miles away, but my Mum who lives in South Wales has one dead near by so we raid that whenever we are there.
