Advantages: Cheap, Dunkable

Disadvantages: Quite Bland

Recently whilst shopping in Tesco, my wife put a packet of Rich Tea Biscuits in our trolley. Not just any Rich Tea biscuits but Tesco Value ones.
Now I'm not a great fan of Rich Tea Biscuits anyway, so the fact they were Tesco Value ones made me even less impressed. Normally we get a lot nicer biscuits such as Bourbon or Cookies etc but her method of madness was, if our biscuit tin was full of these, they would last longer. What a strange way of looking at things?? I never will understand womens logic:-)

Anyway upon returning home the empty biscuit tin was filled up with these 'biscuits'. First to have her hand in the tin was our biccy mad 11 year old daughter. She enjoyed it. The other 2 left the tin alone. By that evening it looked like nobody had been back for seconds either. It was still full, were you would have expected it to be half empty.

Later on in the evening when the kids were in bed, myself and my wife had a quiet time. It only works out about 30 minutes these nights, and usually involves having a cuppa watching the News at Ten.

I made us both a nice cup of tea, accompanied with a couple of these biscuits. My wife enjoyed hers, or so she said. I found mine was quite boring to be honest. There was no 'kick' from it at all. No chocolate or nuts or anything that would have let you enjoy it (not that you expect that with Rich Tea Biscuits). They tasted okay though. They were big enough and crispy, and most importantly they passed the dunkability test. They tasted in my opinion on par with any other Rich Tea Biscuit I had eaten previously, yet they only cost 25p for 300g. A lot cheaper than other brands, for a similar biscuit.
