Happy coronation weekend everyone! Happy New King! I picked up these snacks ages ago - I had to review the scones early as they'd have been out of date by today.
But I saved the biscuits.
Look - magnificent biscuits! And the new king & queen in the background, I mean I assume I'm on the right channel - they have a flag.
And the biscuits are quite special looking too.
Much better out of the packet - they have a crown on them - all ready to be eaten by the king. You get 12 but they are fairly small. I royally decree that 6 is a portion.
They are nicely flavoured and the chocolate feels real and luxurious. The shortbread is fairly luxurious.
How do they compare to the good old high volume essential biscuits? I mean shortbread is essential (it's in all the first aid kits in England) but Bourbons aren't bad.
You do get a lot more for your money. I only needed two for a portion. Maybe that's because I ate half the shortbread ones.
30 servings does sound quite ambitious. Nice though - and a good example of an archetypically British snack.
Both better with a cup of tea though so I should probably go put the kettle on.
