Disadvantages: None

Thinking of Christmas and the New Year we shall probably be eating some Walkers shortbread biscuits. Although these biscuits are available all the year round somehow they seem to be traditional Christmas and New Year treats. The tins and packets patterned in a traditional red Scottish tartan


I have eaten many styles of walker's short bread biscuits the traditional round shortbread that is divided into segments, Small round thick shortbread biscuits, shortbread triangles. One I have sampled is the shortbread with stem ginger pieces. I shall be telling you about these ones now.

Walker's shortbread with stem ginger is a fantastic biscuit.
The fairly large round shortbread biscuit quite thick has a few pieces of stem ginger baked in it. Bite into the crisp biscuit it is a lovely buttery shortbread flavor, not too crumbly and then embedded in the shortbread are some small pieces of stem ginger. I seek these out with my tongue from the mouthful of shortbread that I have. The small pieces of ginger are quite moist and chewy they impart a lovely ginger flavour to my taste buds. I take another bite, these are fantastic biscuits. Eating these biscuits makes me feel warm and secure imagining winter night's snow and cold outside and families sitting round an open fire safe and warm inside eating these scrummy Walkers shortbreads with ginger pies in them.

These biscuits go down well with an ice cream or mousse type desert, or just with that cup o0f teas or coffee. These walkers shortbread with ginger pieces in them are available at large supermarkets, John Lewis and some other stores have them in their Christmas fare selection. They cost about £1.15 for a 150g packet

Ther are 498kcal per 100g so not the best for your diet . These biscuits contain wheat
Walkers have been making shortbread biscuits in Scotland since 1898 they certainly have got the recipe right. Thet are still a family firm selling shortbread worldwide .
