I think Huntley & Palmers Lemon Puffs were rectangular? Not that I'm a connossieur of vintage biscuits ... more like a vintage connossieur of biscuits:*:

Biscuits always evoke a lost world too. Anyone remember these Jamboree biscuits?

ImageMe gran used to buy them all the time for us - you could get them in a variety of dayglo shades and all (in retrospect) were foul tasting soggy things but when you're a bairn you'll a) eat any biscuit and b) think summat that's almost luminous must be good.....it did have coconut too so obviously you thought it must be healthy


:*: :*: :*:
It's true though. I do remember those buscuits and they were awful, but you never ever refused a biscuit as a kid for fear they would not be offered ever again. The only sweet I refused was this vile creation

Lemon puffs were like eating dry cream crackers with some kind of dried up lemon toothpastey stuff.......but of course they were biscuits so they were consumed

I loved lemon puffs, and garibaldi, and eccles cakes and chorley cakes.

On a gluten free diet I can get jaffa cakes and shortbread fingers which are almost as good as the real thing, but digestives are nothing like.

Who was it who made those stripey mint humbugs in the '70s? They were in a black & yellow wrapper & tasted much better than any you can buy these days.

Those lemon puffs were rank!! I always loved custard creams! When my dad used to go away with work, he'd always bring me back the little packets from the hotels - so easily pleased as a child haha!

lemon gays are great, just not up to much as a dunking biscuit.

Too true, beaux.

Always did like Lemon Puffs meself, but the ones above in the new fangled packet are not the right (proper) shape. They ought to be oblong.....

....or Mickey Mouse-shaped, or amphibious landing craft-shaped....or poke in the eye-shaped! :*:

Morning Coffees were great for dunking with a cup o tea, but a right sod if you got the timing even slightly wrong. Better to be safe, with a pair of em, back to back

Never seem to see Rich Tea biscuits with dark chocolate these days, only the milk chocolate ones. Has anyone spotted any :?

Best ever Rich Tea biscuits were those giant ones they did for a short while, must be about 20 years ago (!). They were like rusks and you could dunk them forever.
