Advantages: Nice taste, cheap

Disadvantages: Not really healthy

Ginger Nuts aren't my favourite biscuit, but having sat through 2 meetings lasting a total of 15 hours over the past 2 days, anything will do to relieve the boredom!! There was plenty on offer for the 20 or so people there, but unlike in previous seasons where there have apparently been things like spring rolls and satays, we are now making do with Asda basics (!!) Still, I'm not going to complain as the only perk of product briefs and listening to all the arguments is the free food.

I generally go for the chocolate chip, but faced with bourbons (which I absolutely hate) and ginger nuts, I'll go for the latter.

Each biscuit is a lovely ginger colour and is about average thickness for a biscuit. They are a little smaller than other biscuits, but taken out of apacket you wouldn't notice the difference. One of the managers refused to eat them after the meeting because they were Asda's own brand (she sniffily gave in after a while though), but as long as the ingredients aren't terrible I'll go with it. And at the meeting, no one noticed the difference at all (they were unwrapped) and ate them quite happily.

They do have a nice satisfying crunch to them but they also dunk quite well for those who prefer softer biscuits. They are not very crumby so easy to clean up after which is always good!

The biscuits aren't too gingery so they don't leave that sharp flavour in your mouth, but there is more than just a subtle flavour to them. I found them reasonably pleasant considering they aren't my favourite kind of biscuit! I have no idea how much they cost, and I probably wouldn't buy them for myself as they just aren't my first choice, but for meetings, parties or general get togethers. In fact, they'd be really good because I wouldn't be tempted to eat them beforehand :P

Summary: Worth trying
