Well there are two things to report in the Jammie Dodger world. Firstly, Jammie Dodgers seem to have finally removed the “New” label off their Jam and Custard flavour. When I started writing this blog just under two years ago I saw the Jam and Custard flavour and thought to myself back then, no I won’t review these as they’ve already been out a good while already. Practically every visit to the supermarket since I have checked the biscuit isle and spotted the “new” label still on the pack and smiled to myself. In fact the “new” label was still there just the other week, I love the word “new” but I fear keeping it that long is just milking it! :-D
Anyway, this brings me onto the second thing to report the “new” label has finally disappeared because there is now an actual “new” item in the range: Lively Lemon.
The first thing I noticed was that the jammy filling was slighter darker than the illustration on the pack, and was more of an orange colour than a yellow. The flavour was reassuringly lemon however, tasting like a sweet lemon curd, but with a firmer, stickier consistency. I liked the fresh sweet flavour, and they are a nice addition to the range. Lemon is a good Summer taste, and I look forward to packing a box of these in my picnic hamper on a hot Summers day.
All this talk of limited edition Jammie Dodgers takes me back to a wonderful variety they released a fair few years ago – Vimto. Gosh they were good, anyone else remember them?
Do want.
ReplyDeleteTempted to do a FSF for dodgers and fox's creams & things, but they are all to lovely to choose between.

ReplyDeleteThese were a Summer edition, but I saw them in both Sainsbury's and Asda - at the time. Hope you find them.
ReplyDeleteApparently, the 'New' badge is gone and they're now available year round.
ReplyDeleteMy friend Steven in Wales sent me a packet of them that just arrived yesterday.
I may be the only (Lemon) jammie basket in North America now!
