Bath Oliver biscuits

Not being made anymore unfortunately.

Heard that some company is trying to buy the rights to start making them again.

Wonder what Charles 111 is eating now with his cheese?

As a former Duke of Cornwall he should be eating Cornish wafers.

Loved these biscuits, so buttery :face_savoring_food:

At home with mum and dad in the olden days, we used to be treated to Chocolate Bath Olivers at Christmas. I’d be willing to pay over the odds for a packet now!

Jacob’s Cornish wafers don’t come from Cornwall, Chris. Apparently they are difficult to find now. Especially in the mixed boxes of crackers for cheese.

I expect Charles eats Duchy originals.

My grandfather was a grocer and owned the village shop before supermarkets materialised.
Myself and my siblings loved to spend time wirkibg in what was a very busy shop in Somerset.
I remember watching grandad cutting up a truckle of real cheddar cheese made at his cousins farm at cheddar on many occasions.
Our favourite way of eating the cheese was with Bath Oliver biscuits or Dorset Knobs, grandad sold both in his shop.

You’re right there. They’re made in Liverpool. (The majority of Jacob’s savory snacks and wafers are produced at their major manufacturing facilities in the UK—most notably at their Aintree factory in Liverpool)

They are still Cornish wafers.

French fries don’t come from France either, nor do hamburgers necessarily come from Hamburg, or Scotch eggs from Scotland. :smiley:

You’ll be saying next that Nice biscuits neither come from Nice and aren’t nice!

French fries come from France and Belgium. The balance of thought leans to them coming from France. Hamburger came from its namesake in Germany.

Scotch egg should not exist as a food stuff!

There are a huge number of things that should not exist as a food stuff, what’s your objection to a Scotch egg?

Other people may well love a scotch egg, including my sister. They aren’t for me. No reason why anyone should not eat one if they so choose. Are they available in France? Or do the dedicated scotch egg eaters have to make their own?

A well made Scotch egg is a thing of deliciousness.

In the UK, until then, there’s Lidl. My local Waitrose also had some delicious ones on the meats counter.

They’re not hard to make. Just choose your sausage meat.

Happy to hear you love scotch eggs, Karen.

My sister has a penchant for the ones including black pudding mixed with the sausage meat. I think these are available in a lot of shops in the UK now.

We shall have to agree to disagree on the scotch egg subject. I probably eat à lot of things that you might not like. I shan’t list them here though!
