Nothing comes close to a Barmouth. Lincolns were o.k. Cow biscuits delicious, Rich Tea only bearable when sandwiched together with butter and taken to school in a paper bag for a snack - used to squeeze them together and watch the butter worms shoot out!!

We never raided that biscuit tin. Bourbons were only good for scraping the butter cream layer out of the middle with your bottom teeth.
