Subject: [BWC] Shortbreads vs Digestives

Shortbread is a type of biscuit (cookie) which is traditionally made from one part white sugar, two parts butter, and three parts oatmeal (although plain white flour is common today, and other ingredients like ground rice or cornflour are sometimes added to alter the texture). Shortbread is so named because of its crumbly texture (from an old meaning of the word short). The cause of this texture is its high fat content, provided by the butter. The related word "shortening" refers to any fat that may be added to produce a short (crumbly) texture.



....Sugar, butter, fat, oatmeal, crumbly...whats not to like?


I wonder what porridge with lumps of butter and about 50 tea spoons of suger would taste like in the morning, might be worth a shot.

My dad met Emlyn Hughes once - he was a guest speaker at some dinner dance me dads' band was playing at. 1 a.m. in the morning it finished, on a Tuesday morning in the 1970s in Norwich. And there's Emlyn saying "where do you go in Norwich to party ?" It's different these days, he could have gone down the prince of wales road any night of the week and found a drunk and a slapper, but in those days everyone was asleep at 1 a.m on a Tuesday.

I think you are fibbing. Naaaarch has not got to the 1970's yet!

Thanks for that. I guess I was the lone warrior who voted for the Digestive.
