The stuff from before on NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown ...

The biscuits of Uruguay

This fantastic review of a mad South American biscuit has just come in from NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown reader Martin De Saulles. His exotic specimen, new to western biscuit eating science, looks like some sort of inflatable vinyl burger to us. Martin was the first to alert us to McVities now revised claim of more than 65 Million packs of chocolate biscuits being eaten a day. May be you could be the first, like Martin, to bring an odd biscuit to the attention of the Western biscuit eating world. We like strange stuff like this, so send your emails and pictures to us.

Dead lions and bees

We are very excited this week to be reviewing not one, but two brand new biscuits from McVities. We love the barking mad Lyle's syrup logo, of a dead lion with bees all round it, which the packs have emblasezend upon them. If only all product logos were this odd.

Winter fact finding mission

The entire NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown team are off on a week long Winter fact finding mission, in search of new and exotic review biscuits. We will be visiting the Alpine regions of France to try and establish if the French have finally worked out how to make sensible biscuits. We'll also be studying the tea making process at over a mile above sea level, using our own supply of imported tea bags of course. Meanwhile The Wife is off to Ireland, County Down, in search of the fabled Kimberly Mikado biscuit. If you are visiting either of these locations keep an eye out for us, we are instantly recognisable in our de rigor NiceCupOfTeaAndASitDown tea-shirts.

Update: The Wife did indeed find the Mikados, and I found some interesting French items in this high altitude supermarket pictured alongside. Some of the French items will feature in a future review.
