Mcvitie's Classic Rich Tea - 200g

My mother was born and raised in England so I had been exposed to these cookies (biscuits to the Brintish) before they became famous as part of Prince William's groom's cake. These are plain cookie wafers without frosting, nuts, chocolate, raisins or anything else to mess them up. They have a nice buttery vanilla flavor without being too sweet or too dry or too vanilla flavored. They are somewhat fragile even when in the plastic tube, so don't drop the package. I enjoy these with tea or coffee and they are a delicious treat that is not too high in calories. They remind me of the arrowroot biscuits that we gave babies 50 years ago but they are softer and more delicate. I like them very much. They also worked well in Prince William's cake! I got the recipe from Oprah's website and made a copy of William's cake. It is basically broken "biscuits" (these cookies) and lots of butter and sugar and 12 ounces of dark chocolate. VERY good but I am not sure it is good for you!

とある文章で、このビスケットの存在を知り、大変興味を持ちました。 その文章には 「（英国人から見た）外国人はこのビスケットの良さが分かっていない。水分が無いと口がパサつき、砕けたビスケットが上あごにくっつくからだ」 という件が書いてありましたが、まったくそんなことはありません。 砕けやすいのは確かですが、 味は程よいミルク味。 コーヒーや紅茶によく合います。 小さな子供も気に入りそうな味です。 送料を\1,500近く出して買った甲斐がありました。

Ok

These tea biscuits worked perfectly in making the groom's cake used at the royal wedding. The cake was quite tasty, but one must keep in mind that the British do not sweeten their sweets to the degree that the Americans do. Still, it was fun and easy to make, and created enthusiasm for all of us who watched the 'wedding'.

Well prepared
