I can’t help it - i love 'em. They perfectly compliment a cup of tea and keep me going at work - i’ve been known to get through an entire pack a day.
The only problem is that they are getting harder and harder to find these days. Shops just don’t seem to stock them anymore. Up until now, however, i’ve been lucky - the Sainsbury’s Supermarket in Holborn, a mere two minutes from my office, has stocked them.
So at the beginning of every week i have blissfully and happily walked up there and bought four or five packets for me to munch on through the week. If i got low on stock, i would simply nip out and pick up some more.
But…
This morning i discovered that they have decided to stop stocking them. :eek:
I’m devastated.
So i’m going to try a long shot here - a very long shot:
Anyone know a place near Holborn that sells Rich Tea Fingers?! Please?! Anyone?!
Oh and if anyone out there has any British Biscuit related questions (yes they are different from American Biscuits) or would like to confess to a similar addiction - feel free to post here.
garius - well I’m way out of touch with what is near or not near Holborn, but as for Rich Tea, Tesco sell them, so does LIDL, and Safeway. Maybe you will just have to make a detour in your commuting once a week to stock up.
btw - am amused by the fact that the second biscuit mentioned in the thread was Jammie Dodgers, as they popped into my mind first as well. Don’t know why - not eaten them for ages, but, of course, I fear they might be on the next shopping list.*
which won’t help you one little bit, will it? Oh I am evil sometimes.
Suddenly wondered - do Gyspy Creams still exist? I seem to recall there was some fuss about changing the name, so as to avoid accusations of insensitivity toward the Roma people, but I am not sure if they are still around at all. Ah well - there is a qust for us all to research.
I am not a biscuit fan. However, I do know that the Tesco Metro and the Budgens on Tottenham Court both have biscuits. You could get off at Warren Street and walk down TCR and through Bloomsbury to Holborn. There’s a Safeways in Bloomsbury too, IIRC. Nice bit of fresh air in the morning.
And yes, gypsy creams still exist. They’re Richard Whitely’s favourite biscuit. I am so ashamed I know that.
