OK, first biscuit review – bicview? – is my current favourite. Tesco’s own brand Digestives. These come in an attractive red package, 500g. The best part of the deal is the deliciously low price, weighing in at around 49p. The composition is quite sweet with a pleasant texture, and although volume-wise the indivdual biscuits are smaller than the average digestive and a little slimmer, the overall value compensates.
These go brilliantly wih tea. For review I have used a mid-sized mug with a lower inward curvature and the biscuit has a perfect dunking size – no need for those annoying times where you have to nibble at it to get it into the liquid. And on the subject of dunkage, these biccies are pretty tough when it comes to soggy-drop incidents, certainly an advantage over it’s Tesco Value range brethren.
Pros - Cheap, sweet and hold up well under stress.
Cons – Slightly more petite than others.
I’m going to award this a 4.5/5, a solid start for first review. How will others measure up? We can only wait and see.
I’m a tea-man. Like millions of tea drinkers around the world, but in particular the land of Albion, there is a dedicated food group that perfectly accompanies this grand beverage and comes with its own unique pasttime. I am, of course, reffering to biscuit dunking.
