Biscuits Of The Early 80's

[Ric.ror]

Does anyone remember a biscuit of the 1980's - they were similar to the Lincoln biscuit but had coats of arms on?
They were square with scalloped edges and not expensive at all

[Tilly2]

Malted Milk?

[jazzyjen]

Nah, they were my kids' favourites cos they had moo cows on.

[Tilly2]

Yes, I have just remembered that. Sorry.

[Ric.ror]

They were quite like MM or a Lincoln biscuit and I used to buy them with sports biscuits as a Wed/Thu biscuit - after all the posher biscuits had been eaten

[Tilly2]

Arrowroot have a sort of Fleur de Lys pattern around the edge...?

[Tilly2]

This is driving me nuts. Someone must know the answer!

Royal Dukes,I think but I can't find an image.

[Ric.ror]

I have to stress they were quite cheap - I think they were in a purple pack

check Ringtons chocolate crest biscuits

[rowanwitch]

I remember them well, the crests were Edinburgh, Kent, Gloucester and a couple of others. They tasted like malted milk but were bigger.
I think they were made by the same people

[Denton]

There were biscuits called Nice in those days.

[Ric.ror]

I think you’ve got it RW
Ringtons sound far too posh

[Ric.ror]

Thank you all for your answers - i think we have gone as far as we can - it will remain a distant memory for us RW


Now for jap fancies !!!!!!

[rowanwitch]

They could bring them back for the new era now we have Cambridge,Sussex,Cornwall, York

[Ric.ror]

If I could remember the bakers I’d write to suggest it x

[rowanwitch]

Same here but I wouldn't want to eat the duke of york

Were they called 'Morning Coffee', I can't see any with coat of arms though.

[Ric.ror]

No Arkside - I think MC are still available- they were just rich tea weren’t they

[Prudie]

I don't remember them but if they were cheap could they have been an own brand from one of the many defunct supermarkets - Safeway, Somerfield, Fine Fare etc?

[Arksided]

Now that you mention it, yes I think they were.
