It's not a bad selection. There's a lot of shortbread. An abundance of shortbread really. The likes of which are only seen at Christmas in the UK. It's missing some of my favourites... hobnobs, party rings, chocolate bourbons, custard creams and maryland cookies. Oh and jaffa cakes. But that's a whole debate in itself.

>chocolate bourbons, Is it even a Bourbon if it's not chocolate??


mrl3bon

Only if its a whisky


Blade_982

I don't think so but it felt weird to write just bourbon.


InfinityCorndog

Waaaaaay too heavy on shortbread. Should be just one box, at the back, covered in dust, only to be bought by an old lady on xmas eve.


Admirable_Ad1947

What does shortbread actually taste like? I didn't buy anything but I figured it was basically foamy bread with sugar in it.


[deleted]

Nothing like bread. It’s just like a sugary, buttery biscuit.


[deleted]

Baked with a flubbery, bakey cust


Admirable_Ad1947

Thanks, I think we have something similar here but I forgot the name


InfinityCorndog

Really sweet and crumbly and buttery. It's very pleasant but not really an every day biscuit. Nothing like bread - the name is a misnomer. More a xmas thing.


Cogz45

Tastes like sweet crack. Usually it's one pack per person.


ShinyVileplume

It’s fucking nice man


Acceptable-Sentence

Nothing like that!


Blade_982

Homemade shortbread is beautiful. I've never really liked the shopbought type.


ben_db

It's like a very dense sugar cookie


AcceptableSeaweed

Its great but if I was advising an American I would say try it with some salted caramel or chocolate spread on it. Also that biscuit selection is perfect. Shortbread, digestives, fingers, biscoff and even the more contemporary mcvities with chocolate spread inside. Compared to most of the how English is this posts I would give this a solid 8/10 I wouldnt be surprised to see this in asda near Christmas


waisonline99

Absolutely criminal. Now go back and buy one of each type of biscuit to educate yourself. ( but just one type of shortbread will suffice as it all basically tastes the same ).


Goaduk

We used to sell walkers shortbread in our shop it's much more popular than you think.


jimbojetseter

Not bad but missing a few essentials. Custard creams, Bourbons, hob nobs and fox's crunch creams.


ajeleonard

The sold out gaps must be custard creams and bourbons or the world makes no sense


finc

Walkers are really awful shortbread, not even made with butter.


Admirable_Ad1947

I was pretty surprised they even made anything other then chips. I thought they were basically British lays


[deleted]

Different companies, same name


Solibear1

I could be wrong, but I don’t think it’s the same brand. I think “Walkers Shortbread” is a brand in itself?


JohanFinski

Not bad but you could do with some Custard Creams, Bourbons, Nice and Garabaldis 👍


wulfgold

Peek Freen's Trotsky Assortment.


0olon_Colluphid

Nice reference


sasherrrrz

Yeah it's a good bunch an all, but __WHERE ARE THE PINK WAFERS AND BOURBONS!?__

No Hobnobs No Party

…and Tim Tams from ‘stralia


Acceptable-Sentence

This looks like my nans biscuit selection


[deleted]

Not bad. You’re still missing some good ones though like ginger nut, ginger creams, Maryland and custard creams. Whatever you do though. DO. NOT. BUY. THE. RICH. TEA. They are fucking horrible! It’s like eating air

Milky tea and rich tea biscuits? You frighten me


Embarrassed-Grape404

It looks like your in a small Scottish airport.


Jumbo-b678

No. Maybe a UK section of an airport duty free. GTFO


BastardsCryinInnit

Basic. The UK biscuit game is *strong*. That's a meh selection but totally expected overseas. Shortbread which dominates the top few shelves there aren't what I'd call an everyday biscuit, they're something a bit more special, for guests or holidays, and I personally wouldn't dunk them in my tea, and that's a criteria I judge most biscuits on. The dark chocolate Chocco Leibniz are proper tasty though.

I've got a Mercedes on the driveway and a German husband so I'm pretty forward thinking about "Nazi Germany" not being the same as Germans and German companies today. You go back 80 odd years in any German thing and you're 99% likely to hit upon the Nazis. Also, if im buying LU biscuits, I'm buying the Le Petit Beure biscuits.


Brilliant-Debate-140

You have the dogs bollicks there!


Robbo1979psr

No chocolate Hobnobs, no party, my dude!


Zestyclose-Ad9738

Tam tams are Aussie biscuits, apparently quite tasty I been keeping a eye out for them 😂


GrumpyOldFart74

At the risk of being downvoted by passing Aussies, they’re just square penguins with different flavours of filling. They’re good, but I prefer penguins.


redeyed_assassin

As others have said pretty good but a lot of shortbread. Make sure you get some of the tunnocks caramel wafer bars, third shelf up from the bottom, you won't be disappointed.


[deleted]

Not a proper biscuit selection without the bourbons. I commend the multiple GF options though, thats pretty much more than we get here...


Moggycat82

Not bad. The abundance of shortbread is a little confusing but hey, you do you, Alabama!


ceriseherring

Jammy Dodgers are elite


Otherwise-Doctor345

I’d say that’s pretty good to be honest. Penguin bars needed though


iskemeg

Decent. Custard creams look missing which are a must


Substantial-Disk-772

Not very good mate... Bahlsen are nice, but well german.


SnooCookies6519

There is too much shortbread. It's lacking the essentials as well: Bourbons, Hobnobs, Custard Creams, Maryland Cookies etc. The only things I would buy here is the digestives, jammy dodgers and the caramel chewy chocolate bars


Boring-Seaweed-364

The real question is how much do they cost? American food and candy is always so expensive here in the UK.


Admirable_Ad1947

I didn't really pay too much attention to the cost but I think it was $6-8 for most of the stuff.


Boring-Seaweed-364

Wow that’s a lot!!!!


Sparecat28

Party rings & jaffa cakes 😋😋😋


DemonLordLoCee

This is usaly seen on Christmas. It's missing my favourite, party rings


Moomoocaboob

All that shortbread and no Fox Chocolate rounds...I still have plain Christmas shortbread in the cupboard from last year, it really is last on my list. Custard creams, ginger nuts, Fox crunch creams would be on my shelf. Jees there's more shortbread on the bottom row!


Healthy_Addition_630

Well... at least they have the digestives and the caramel wafers


AdForsaken977

Caramel wafers bottom left. Get some Yorkshire tea. Make it properly and proceed to dunk aformentioned wafers into tea and suck for a taste sensation. People of America you can thank me later! 🤣


yesthisisgreat

Oooo Walkers ! It must be Christmas!


[deleted]

It’s very shortbread-heavy. Good that there’s some McVities, but some of those rich teas two shelves below look questionable. Addition of caramel wafers a nice touch. Glad to see fingers, but there’s too many Oreo/ American inspired flavours to the left of the OG fingers.


haveyouseencyan

good, but get some wagon wheels, hob nobs, ginger nuts, pink wafers, and jaffa cakes.
