Biscuits

Unread post by qbman1 »

I boarded Aurora before Christmas with great trepidation following the announcement on the P&O CC forum that my beloved biskwits had been usurped and replaced with a supposedly inferior model !!

I need not have worried as the new longer, thinner version was well up to scratch....and a much better selection of flavours - ginger, choc and vanilla, choc chip and orange

Anyone else pleasantly surprised ?

We preferred them too - more crunchier and tasty than the old ones - great decision P&O :D

Bigger or smaller than the previous ones?

I'm wondering just how many I'll be able to fit in the spare empty suitcase we always take especially for the job.

A different shape so oblong rather than round, so much more suitable for suitcase packing :D

Yes thumbs up from me. I did miss the honey and oat though. Loved the ginger ones but mainly got the chocolate ones left for us. Brought some home for our granddaughters but for some reason by the time we saw them they had all gone :roll:

So did we. We also found that if we hid them during the day, the steward left some more when he turned down in the evening. You may need 2 spare cases. :mrgreen:

Still working my way through the honey and oat ones which I brought home from the Arcadia in October - luckily they are ok until April 2013.

Are they as good as the honey & oats for dunking? Anything less than 5 seconds is a waste :) :) :)
