I bought these the other day in Tesco and I have instantly fell in lust with them.



They are like ginger snaps in texture and crunch but have a subtle cinnamon flavour instead of the ginger.


Very moreish and I guess I was amazed how easy it is to over look what on the face of it appears a very ordinary biscuit. 59p a pack too.

Anyone else like them?

I think Aldi do something similar at Christmas time and they are fantastic.

You get these in Travel Inns now instead of proper biscuits.

AAARGH!!!!
 

I'm totally addicted to these!  Have been for years.

 

Just reading the thread title makes me want to lock myself alone in the house with 150 packets of the offending biscuits.  Seriously, I can't even look at them in the supermarket.

 

When I was in Prague, I bought a chocolate covered version.

If you don't think they are great when you get them, you can always put them to good use:

Don't hold your breath. Sainsburys doesn't seem to have a great product range to me.

Sainsbury's push their own brand ranges too heavily. If you want a good selection of named brands, go to Tesco.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?
