Fortnum & Mason Fruit & Nut English Thin biscuits


Taste

I was looking forward to tasting these but they weren’t really to my taste. I guess this is quintessential English biscuits, from that very English of companies, Fortnum & Mason. The biscuits were of the dry and bland variety, with only a small amount of fruit breaking the monotony.

Look

They certainly look fancy, coming in that signature circular tin. The biscuits are lined on a plastic tray then wrapped in foil. The biscuits certainly will look great on a platter when you serve your afternoon tea.

C-factor

200g for $13.95. Considering these are imported from the UK, where everything costs more, the price is actually not too bad! But, why buy imports when you have excellent locally produced products!
