Did you know...one of the first biscuit recipe came to Britain in an Italian alchemy-cum-medical handbook. The instructions on how to make these “tasty morsels” could be found alongside plague remedies, tips on curing “the stinch of toes” and “how to find gold with salamanders”. The biscuits were hard sponge fingers flavoured with musk or aniseed and eaten at the end of a meal to sweeten the breath and suppress vapours rising from the stomach | |||

Did you know...The Romans certainly had a form of biscuit, what we’d now call a rusk and, as the name suggests, it was essentially bread which was re-baked to make it crisp. It kept for longer than plain bread, and was useful for travellers and soldiers’ rations. | |||

Did you know...After the Gunpowder Plot in 1605, a new tradition spread through England. The biscuit figures sold at fairs were traditionally made in the likeness of Catholic saints, but after Guy Fawkes’ foiled attempt to blow up parliament, the bonfire celebrations that followed featured figures of him. People could now show their support for the Protestant cause by eating the papist villain. Hence, the association of gingerbread with Bonfire Night. | |||

Did you know...Sweet tea was the drink of choice for Britain’s working classes, but during the second world war, tea and sugar were rationed. Many complained that wartime tea was never sweet enough. And so biscuit manufacturers stepped in by supplying auxiliary service canteens so that firefighters, ambulance drivers and bombed-out civilians could get their sugar fix alongside rather than in their tea. By 1945, it had become a reflex to reach for the biscuit tin when the kettle went on | |||
