Tower Gate Rich Tea Biscuits 300g Vegetarian

Product Information

Oh dear Morrisons what went wrong here? Your 59p milk chocolate digestives did not go down well at all. Since then the topping has developed and uses dark or white chocolate as well as other variations of mint, marmalade and strawberries and cream, to name a few. Whatever biscuit you enjoy, my personal favourite is the milk chocolate digestive. Award wining by looks alone, this biscuit has everything you could want. Once I did take it home, I was just disappointed. I didn't feel the biscuit had that milk chocolate digestive taste. Tesco's digestives were a good all-rounder. There was the perfect amount of chocolate on top and the base was nice and golden. They contained 85 calories per biscuit.

Digestives are the sensible jersey of the biscuit world, comforting without being fancy. There are recipes for homemade versions on the internet but this seems an odd idea, much like those dough presses designed so you can spend hours sweating in the kitchen to make custard creams that look just like ones you buy, but at five times the cost. So there you have it, a suggested answer to the question undoubtedly keeping many readers awake at night - which of the main supermarket-own and McVities milk chocolate digestives are the best? The WWF says it can be produced sustainably, and all the supermarkets say they use only sustainably sourced palm oil. But Greenpeace argues that manufacturers have no way of telling if what they use is truly sustainable. The reality is, the only way to avoid palm oil altogether is to make your own digestives (as we discussed before). You can also opt for a brand that includes rapeseed oil, thus bringing down the total palm oil content. Lidl has the best milk chocolate digestive biscuits according to this reporter (Image: Grimsby Live)Creating shortbread is something that Scottish baker Paterson's has been doing for a long time - since 1895. As it promotes itself as "Britain's number one shortbread", I thought it would be a good marker to compare this grand dame of the shortbread fingers to own brands by Asda, Sainsbury's, Lidl, Marks & Spencer and more.

The flavour unfortunately didn't mimic the originals though. Its oaty flavour drowned out the sweetness of the chocolate. And then we have 'Woodgate' which has essentially copied not one, but all of Strongbow's branded products, like this apple cider: There's an art to these buttery, crumbly biscuits that are a favourite of Hollywood star Nicholas Cage. Even the Queen had her own Balmoral recipe of shortbread made to her royal tastes. x Tower Gate Nice Biscuits 200g each. Great for dunking with tea.Please view our other items for sale. Thanks In a weird sense, I almost knew I was eating a McVities biscuit as they have a rather distinguished taste.It was too 'crumby' as well with bits from the biscuit just flying everywhere before I had chance to taste it. Without a shadow of a doubt, the biscuits from M&S were the best in terms of taste. The chocolate layer on top tasted like rich and creamy Belgian chocolate, and when I dunked it in tea, it tasted heavenly.

The bottom layer of the digestive was uniquely more satisfying than I had expected. There was a certain sweetness which I enjoyed (maybe because I enjoy sweet tastes). The branding looks very shiny and eye opening to shoppers - as soon as I walked down the biscuit aisle I could see them sparkling from a mile away. While the taste was pleasing and familiar, I was disappointed in not being able to enjoy the Digestive biscuits properly.In my opinion, Co-op's version were my least favourite. For me, they resembled a slightly upgraded rich tea biscuit. The base was dull and the chocolate on top was thin and tasteless. Worst of all, they were among the most expensive I tried. They were 83 calories each if you're interested.
