Name that biscuit

January 28th, 2010 Plug Leave a comment Go to comments

I covet a biscuit from my childhood. To address my problem, I must know its name.

The biscuit is thus: ridges of biscuit outside, with a thin layer of orange (or apricot) flavour on the bottom, and a circle of chocolate (about 5mm thick) on top.

A crude artist might draw it as such:

As with all good biscuits, I believe it was made by Griffins.

I remember it being off the market for a few years, then back, and then gone again.  I don’t expect it’s around now and I can’t find it on their website.

Anyone remember the name?

    Damn, I know exactly what you mean. They’re similar to jaffa cakes, but I just can’t remember what they were called… if I remember, I’ll update.

    I’ve seen an Isle of Dogs, but never an Isle of Biscuits. :)

    They are definitely not still flowting around. A relative worked for Griffins. He can remeber them in the list of discontinued products, but like us, can’t remember the name! Frustrating!
